If nobody at the footy commission can see anything wrong with what's happening in Mandurah right now then this competition has no future. It's a disgrace the team Peel have been allowed to field. 
 

                 That there is the problem Cm! A recent radio interview spoke on same subject.
The useless commission is happy and apparently there is nothing to see here. Apparently it's all good!
Until the 8 Wafl clubs actually start making some really, really extremely loud noises, sadly nothing will change.
They all had their chance in 2014. Back then all of a sudden a lot of money materialised out of nowhere. They all stopped to pick it up and as we know the rest is history.
The Wafl comp has been stuffed for quite some time, all sad to say. Won't be improving any time soon!
Really sad to see the way it has degenerated.

The 22 players that played for Swans today have a total of 854 games of WAFL experience and 0 AFL games.

Peel’s team have a total of 889 games of WAFL experience with 15 AFL listed players of which 14 have played a total of 938 AFL games - result expected. 15 is the most Dockers in any Peel game this year.

Good luck to the WAFL teams playing the Thunder in the finals.

Results like today will put people off in going to games. Why bother when they know that their team will cop a flogging. When we all thought it was a great and even season, the monster rears it's ugly head yet again.

I'm sure one of the top 4 will be good enough to stop Peel in the finals series, possibly the Doggies next week. If the AFL Dockers get knocked out by Collingwood next week, they won't be able to put out as strong a side as they did today.

No excuses for Swans today, they embarrassed themselves in front of a state wide audience. Given the make up of the Peel team they were never going to get over the line but to throw in the towel just like they did against East Fremantle a few weeks ago was unacceptable. The real reason Swans have finished 6th is due to their abysmal record away from home including losses to two of the bottom 4 and they were faced with a difficult task today because of that.

It is so frustrating to finish the season like that as it feels like we have made zero progress from 2021 whereas the Sharks who were we behind us a few years ago are now in premiership contention.

Hopefully this humiliation will burn in the guts of the players and coaching staff during the off season and will spur them on in preparation for 2023. One thing they must do is try and recruit a few big bodied players who are capable of physically imposing themselves as we were often pushed aside in the clearances by more bulky opposition midfielders
 

A really deflating scoreline by Swan Districts! Only managed to score 12 points in the first half and 24 in the second half. Have been led to believe it is Swans lowest total score for an Away game this season
Swans had high hopes and plenty of enthusiasm around the club at seasons start. Sad way to bow out for twenty 22!

Mike West Perth have a good record against Alignment Teams.

watched the game and it's not possible to put anything on Swan Districts' performance - considering the AFL contributed 18.12 out of 18.20 and 300 of 408 possessions during the supposed "game"
this type of garbage doesn't do any real good for football it just proves how much influence another league can weild , a professional league versus a second tier competition
actually I'd take my hat off for Swan Districts managing to keep that margin under 100 points and struggling against an abnormal tide 
pretty shitty day for WAFL football and the sudden loss of potential spectators that Swan Districts would have provided if in the finals

Peel really need to change their name from Thunder to Dockers and the jumper to the same as their owners. The alignment will never disappear as Peel know without it they are back to the bottom of the ladder again.

I get the dockers thing and its a real disgrace, and I know SD are only a middle of the table team but I honestly thought they would put up a better fight than that. it was as if mad Monday was a;ready planned the minute they ran out there, hardly fired a shot on behalf of the real WAFL. Sad to see in what was as effectively an elimination final.

Now its Souths turn to put up a half decent fight to save the integrity of the comp.

Our planning starts during pre-season lol
