Geez DD going off that post from CBAG, it sounds likes Cripps x 2, HT,' JK et al would of had played basketball for the Geraldton Buccanears instead of footy in the GNFL if Perth were overseeing footy development in the Geraldton area.

I actually  I do get it DD,  you are a frustrated Perth fan, seeking the heady glory days of the 60's and 70's.....your club has a bucket loads of money,  fantastic facilities, and super loyal fans. You definitely deserve better....and no I don't give a shite about Perth, because I know, if the shoe was on the foot, none of you Perth boys would give a shite about EF.....and rightly so.




 

This topic, and variants of it, have raged for years. Hate to be a pessimist, but I can't see anything changing. WP got off essentially scot free because they service the northern corridor, where a lot of migrants settle. We are one of a glut of inner city teams. if we folded, our zones could be easily carved up between SD, S, EP and C. There won't any help - if anything, I would think one less club would be a relief to the WAFC. 

I think our situation is dire. You look at our list. I would say Byrne and Davis are the only players in our best 22 from our metro zone, and only R Clarke, Taylor and Sing from country. Davis and Sing are hardly world beaters. Others are around the mark, like Brogan-Henry, and hopefully guys like Fairbank, Watson, Cachard, Moore, Murray and Scoble will develop. But we are left, year after year, to pick up 2-3 high profile ex AFL players, and a bunch of fringe WAFL players. Sometimes that works for us, as with Avery and Coniglio. More often it doesn't. Expect the same next season - we seem likely to lose more players than we can replace from within, so we will court disaffected players from rival clubs. 

Zones are one thing, but i think whats more important is how many high schools are in each zone.

Oh well let's hope your club goes belly up then if that's your attitude.

That's the ticket DD....dog eat dog as  my old man used to say.....and he was a Perth fan to the core.

1. Agree to developing the 10 or so local junior facilities in Perth's zone. Say contributing $250K a year whilst using their pull with government (Local, State, Federal) to match this contribution. This would allow revamped changerooms, better playing surface, better lighting for Perth's district. Do one Junior club a year.

2. Get our Stand started. Now. This Year. October.

3. Throw $1 Mill into the finishing touches of this Stand - to go into having the best displayed history. Modeled off The Claremont Tigers. (This on top of the $1 Mill already committed).

4. No Change to Perth Jumpers or Song. 

5. Get us another 1 Mill in sponsorship a year so we can have the highest paid coach.

6. Said coach to have final say on what Eagles plays for the League team.

7. Develop the 3 dilapidated houses close to the oval to house disadvantaged youth.

8. Ten year maximum arrangement that sees Perth as the richest Club outside of the AFL at the end of it.

9. No premiership by 2026 sees them giving us an automatic $250K and a free pass out of the arrangement.

10. Peel v Perth to be played as a curtin raiser once a year. All Peth Members free access to ground.

11. WAFC to agree to Perth's top three zonal requests by 2029.

12. Perth to have access to the Eagles doctors, Physio's, Nutritionist, imaging at no cost.

Just a thought people

 

Well that should net you a flag or two

Well, it should net an alignment team a flag or two - within 2 years, according to this time frame. Whether that team could be described as Perth Football Club is open to debate.

just a thought ?????

every club in Australia would be lining up for some of this dreamy magic - I showed some people this list and every single one of them burst out laughing and most of them said "is this a joke or on Facebook lala land"

out of curiosity do you really expect anyone to just gift your club this list ?

They are the ones knocking. I don't expect it - but this is what would be acceptable. Perth are a  125 year old club. A wealthy club, a club with a successful history,  a club who is about to start building facilities that should rival Claremonts.

A ten year deal. We would be the 4th of the traditional clubs to do it and the 5th WAFL club to do it (align with a WA based AFL club). There doesn't seem to be too much of a stink on SF, Claremont or EP and Peel are neither here nor there in WAFL discussions. 

This or something similar or perhaps better may be acceptable
