you see the problem is with scabiaco is there getting low on loot. strange how they're not getting all the top players anymore and a couple of sponsors have taken a walk. so not many members, not many supporters and the loot is dwindling. four years of losses, the well is drying.

Good point Screemy.  Maybe we could go into administration, stiff our mum and dad creditors, and have the WAFC bail us out.  Now that sounds like plan but we'll need guidance from someone who's done it before.  Who could that be?

BC, what you blokes have done over the past 20 years pales into significance as to our predicament years ago. It will never come to the surface as the WAFC would be opened up like butterfly prawns. Anyway, welcome to the mere mortal world of running a footy club, lets see what your back office and coach can do now:)

Spot on with Wardman, never been a fan myself.
Also not happy about the removal of memorabillia from the clubrooms and the addition of a black and gold cap to our club colours.

Spot on mate! Stupid idea.

Interesting times. Surely we have to bounce back this week?? But I think we haven’t beat old easts since round 2 2021! We have been their whipping boys for years now, so right up against it to turn things around.
I will reserve my judgment until after this coming Saturday game, but if we fk up this one heads need to roll starting with the delusional Wardman

BC, i noticed in the budget that the Lions only have one player thats played more than 100 games, also only one player with 4 points, all the rest are 1 point players. Correct me if im wrong. This looks like an Eagles falure managing the player group or is that dodo screamer right.

Yep Winger only Clark over 100 games. 
Cooley is 7pts. 
I think Screemer is right, we are obviously skint, pissed all our coin up the wall with our coaching panels and admin staff the size of the Chinese army and recruiting way over the top when we would have probably won those flags with half of the imports we had

Beautifully said DG, more often than not you had an overkill list, could have got more games into youngsters and bee in a better position than current. What are Wardman's down falls as a coach ?

Wardman's downfalls...I will reserve my judgement until Saturday evening mate

I didn't mind the black cap Oscar . The merchandising has been a strength of the club imo. But agree about the memorabilia. We must be on the bones of our arse to do that. Needs must, I suppose.  

Re Wardman, he was a good coach with good players and so on. Coaches depend on a good list. I think he's contracted for another season. I doubt Subi could afford to pay him out even if they wanted to. 

​​​​​Better to keep playing the kids and trying to grow memberships, selling merchandise, working the junior zones etc. I notice East of waneroo road is looking very bare for junior participation. West, not so bad. Eg Carine and Sorento duncraig. Warwick Greenwood is looking a little ragged.

I hope for your sake Cooley is there at the end of the year.
My advice is don't drop him to the Ressies.
