TOPIC:

I am still trying to get my head around this competition, if any of you gents can help me please do.
This Eagles team breaches our salary cap rules by miles, it breaches our points system by god knows how much, but they can play in a finals series against teams that must follow these rules?
I suppose Peel are no different, so why have a point system and salary cap? This should be removed, at least the richer clubs can recruit heavily to try and match it with these two clubs, I know the poorer clubs like mine will suffer but at least we are all on the same page.

Just saying

Not sure what you are talking about Falcon. It’s an AFL reserves team and these guys are paid as professional footballers but most of them are not established AFL players yet. It’s a pointless excercise adding their salaries if that’s what you are doing and comparing it to the stand alone traditional WAFL clubs.

It’s not a perfect competition and never will be.

the amazing thing about that game was that the professionally trained and paid side had 60 'inside 50' entries for just five goals.

well done to WP

Yes Ark when I last looked during the telecast WP had a huge difference in tackles.

That was a weak WCE side for mine Falcon. Too top heavy considering the windy and wet conditions. They could get a lot stronger this week. WP should have won on paper.

I reckon they'll be a lot stronger too Roman. This week they can play whomever they like given they have a fixture on Thursday night. Anyone not playing at AFL level will be available to play WAFL which brings guys like Oscar Allen or Hickey into the equation if one makes way for NicNat as does Cameron, Hutchings and Duggan.

And as harsh as it sounds, you can say whatever you life F. Not going to make any difference. I for one am really angry the direction the Wafl has been allowed to go, but unless everybody starts complaining and protesting very loudly nothing is going to change for the better.
Sadly if West Perth was one of the clubs that agreed to these bastards entering the competition, their just going to have to like it. Gives me no joy to say.

considering WP are run by the WAFC then of course they "voted" for it..

Its funny you say that Roman, when it was raining the game was very even, but then it dried up and that bought their big men into game and they carved us up, but in saying that the boys did rally at the end but it wasn't meant to be.... now it's Claremonts problem.

I posted this at 3/4 time Falcon. You blokes were never in it except for the last 10 minutes when unbelievably you could have snatched it.
