TOPIC:

I see the site has dropped the EP EAGLES and Peel Dockers headings.
Good to see but I think if there were complaints it wasnt totally out of context as these two clubs are now aligned with the 2 AFL clubs.
Maybe underneath their Club headings it could still have

aligned with the West coast Eagles and on Peel heading
Aligned with Fremantle Dockers.

Nothing offensive in that as it is how it is!

Yeah, it was a little protest, however It may have upset some and I apologise. The wife changed it back today, and told me it might have been a little insensitive.

Now that the host clubs have been formalised, and touted by the clubs as host clubs, we could maybe put this as a sub heading?

Thoughts and opinions?

Insensitive??? They will be known as the EP Eagles and Peel Dockers in my eyes and most football supporters. Even Channel 10 let Gossage call EP the EP Eagles tonight. Good on him!!!

Great idea Cardy. These 2 teams are no longer WAFL teams, so the distinction should be made. Might hurt the princess pride of people like the grump, but fact is fact!!

On a lighter note Mike, I like the "rookie", "benchwarmer" classifications

When I get time, I'll try organise it so we can list our supported teams under our avatars.

Any plans on "where are they now" - ala FG?

I noted that Ron / ooslumbird posted his final " Where Are They Now " feature earlier today. He made mention of his disappointment in the way the other site has been run into the ground, and left to die an undignified death by it's uninterested owners. He may well stay over there until the final demise of the other site before joining up here.
.
His excellent artices would be a great addition to this new WAFL site. And I reckon his contributions and his efforts would be apprieciated by owners / admins who have a genuine passion for our the WAFL and it's glorious history. No spammers here, a not for profit site and Mike, Mrs Admin and George, have set this site up for all the right reasons. This is a place for those who are truly passionate about the local game, not the AFL.

If anyone on here is in regular contact with Ron / oos, maybe drop a few gentle hints and get him to check out the site. I for one think his contributions on the other site have been one of the highlights, but the shabby way the owners have responded to his and others genuine concerns about it's being saved tells me he would be in a better place over here. ASAP. Please.

Agree 100%.. Met Ron at a 91.3 function and a great bloke

Yes, most certainly. Its no secret we are working on this side of the website. George has contacted some who are most interested in posting these types of stories to the website.

I have ALMOST finished this side of things, and hope to have it up and running within a month or two. OzFooty.Net is only just over a month old, but big plans... Stay tuned...

The website will always remain non-profit, and community driven.
