You do realise they don't get given seats, they pay for them

Don't waste too much time on these nufties SB, apparently Subi are given everything they want.

There will be no seats at the new stadium for any WAFL clubs unless some miracle happens and the Govt/WAFC can convince the AFL clubs that the WAFL deserve some financial support for grass roots footy .... don't hold your breath.

Any financial benefits produced from OUR clubroom premises which we built and paid for back in the early 70's and the seats, which were the same Subi members area seats we've has since the 2 tier stand was built which the club buys from the WAFC each season will end when Subi oval is mothballed at the end of 2017. There is no question Subi have reaped great benefit from being historically located at Subi oval and having had long term leases over the oval and their own premises. The decision to move to Leederville and ground share in the early noughty's was part of the future proofing the club embarked on knowing their time at Subi was coming to an end, apart from the land it stands on the club paid totally for their new facilities at Leederville no rate payers or tax payers money was used unlike other redevelopments happening at a few other wafl clubs home grounds.

I know a lot here hate his guts , but I am sure they would love it if he was going to their side.
He will, if played a stay at home forward, kick plenty of goals for Swans.
I been told off for getting off the topic occasionally, and this one is going that way. Straighten it up fellas. It is a Swans topic about Crowley.

Yep agreed they have poached a good egg there...

Why are swans recuiting players, no offence to Crowley but I thought the club due to our finances was going to be giving our young jets a crack. Swans have very good young players and my thoughts are lets be the best by developing the best.

Well done to SDFC, not sure how you beat Subi with the $, but a handy pickup, hope it does not break your bank though.
it is always good when the WAFL can attract some profile players , these types of names build interest in the comp.

Yeah agree in a way, is he on a 1 yr deal?

Crowley is on a two year contract.

Is this the part where you go on about how tough subi have had it all their history? You built and paid for your clubroom premises - you mean like EVERY OTHER CLUB has ever done?
And as for the thinly veiled swipe at ratepayers and taxpayers contributing to our redevelopment - you do realise the return on that investment will be tenfold at the least?
Our beef on this issue is not with the sfc, it is with the commission for entering into a deal which has led to such an unlevel playing field.

Spot on TOO.

If Swans are looking at recuiting Robbie Warnoch is Doc Blakley not going to be available? Secondly with Lewis Jetta back with the Eagles is Graham likely to return to Swans, if so Ye ha, the man could play.
