I can read the article for myself, RL. It's obvious that the Eagles want to get an alignment through the backdoor. I fear some in our administration and fan base are open to it. There's nothing I can do about it. Should it require a vote under the constitution, I'll vote against it. If the vote is in favour, or if the player loan model bypasses the constitution, I walk away from the club and the WAFL. Given the attitude of EP fans towards your own alignment, I will assume that you will be consistent in refusing to condemn Perth and fully acknowledging the legitimacy of any success that might come our way under that model. 

Correct,but i suspect it will take more than a few eagle rejects to return your club to the promised land.

I can vouch for Royal Lucky he never come near EP under the alignment. And if Barnard wasn’t reappointed he was walking also.

Here comes the cavalry!

To correct a previous post, the constitution requires 50%, not 75% majority. So I guess it's not out of the question if there are enough Eagles sycophants at the meeting. But I am nothing if not democratic. If there is a vote in favour, the people will have spoken. Pleased to see the comments of Damian Matthews in the West. Hopefully that will strike a chord with the Perth faithful.

Really do hope your loyal supporters win this one Ted.  I was thinking what it would be like if the Eagles were hovering over the Sharks.  I couldn’t and wouldn’t renew my membership, but God knows what it would feel like.

Has there been a recent increase in Perth's membership numbers.Just wonder how long West Coast had been planning this for.

I agree with everything that Ted has said. I too will be signing off on PFC and WAFL interest if this happens to us in any form. It’s good to see Damien is making an effort to prevent this. We need more vocal support from high places but alas it doesn’t seem to be forthcoming. The basic line is we will cease to be an actual football club and it’s obvious Nisbett will only have WCE interest regardless of what clap trap he sprouts in the media.

Speaking of our Constitution, what actually constitutes an "alignment" ??
What is a "player loan scheme" similar to the deal in 2020 when McInness, Fisher and Grey were on loan from the WCE reserves? There was no question then of that being an alignment albeit those players were not WCE AFL listed players.
Would a similar scheme involving AFL listed players be considered an alignment and would our Constitution require members' approval???
 

I have just received an email from Bob Shields concerning the so called rumours of an alignment.
If the email was meant to allay my fears and reassure me, then all I can say is that it failed dismally.
