With the ongoing saga between the EFFC and the Town of East Fremantle is it time to implement Plan B and begin negotiations for East Fremantle to play home games at Fremantle Oval for 2025?

Its really been a balls up and from the comments by Tony Micale yesterday on 91.3 - there could be an exodus as we head into season 2025. The Board and Management have really let the team down - firstly with the salary cap mistake, which cost the team a double chance, and then overseeing the redevelopment which hasn't provided what the club needed and has turned into a long, drawn out saga that left the team groundless.

This needs to be sorted ASAP - it's become a joke

Probably cost you a good run at the finals ... Playing the game at Claremont didn't help.

Playing a home final at our opponents may have netted some $ but no doubt provided their coach with another motivational tool. 

First it was going to be ready for round such and such in May, then July then August then the finals.

Turned out JT who called it early and said no league games there in 2025 was correct all along.

Whilst management have indeed let the playing group down KC, the double chance also was lost when the playing group lost to  WCER during the season by 4 pts. Also being 10 points up, playing on a lake v EP with 15 mins to go didn't help.....nor kicking 1.7 in the first quarter on Sunday helped.

EF were 3/0 at REVO this year and had beaten Cl by 90 there as well.....I get it that it doesnt look good playing a home final at the opposition's own ground, but Freo wasnt available was it?

Be disappointed after the year they have had, EF will be decimated with a potential player exodus.....surely the oval will be signed off before preseason starts in Nov...surely?

 

I hope the oval is signed off for the sake of the competition. The wafl need a settled and financial east fremantle. 

EFFC appear to be running on empty, nearly half a million in debt and only about the same amount of assets with hardly any cash.

Sounds like they need to do a3 year stint in alignment with the Eagles.  Get some money on the bank. Bitter pill to swallow.

Problem is the eagles might demand a 5 year minimum - unless they're looking for a short term solution prior to entering the AFL reserves.
