This shit ain't rocket science. 60'000 + members.

And not one of those members give a crap about the WAFL. How many made the effort to watch East Perth in the last 5 years.

I don't believe your point stands up to scrutiny.

As an Eagles supporter, I would be far more inclined to watch their reserves side, running around in Eagles jumpers, than I would to watch and East Perth side which includes some listed Eagles players.

I doubt I would be an orphan in that regard.

Spot on. Never had any interest in watching EP play, even with the Eagles players. Unless they were playing the Sharks of course!!

As a matter of interest what is the official name for the new WART team? Serious question. Are they eagles or eagles reserves or eagles wafl...how have they badged this new entrant ?

In the 2019 WAFL fixtures, they are referred to as "West Coast". This could be a good indication.

Whats going on with this? Any fixtures as yet and squad named?
