Poor seasons will do this to a club. Look at Port Power, not long ago they were the toast of Adelaide, now they get more support at a SANFL game.

It is no wonder Swans were keen to become the eagles host club given the news about their tax debt - the old president must have been really pissed off his escape plan failed - no wonder he threw a tantrum at the WAFC meeting.

On 11 December Cardy said this about EP and Peel -

2 clubs who have got themselves into financial strife because of their incompetent Committees and lack of ability or lazyness in organising functions etc to get in the funds.

I guess Cardy also thinks these other clubs have incompetent committees and are lazy. I say some clubs see the environment for what it is.

Swans wanted to be a host club ? what planet are you on Dave ?

MO this clown is just another Eagles Reserve side supporter trying to justify their former clubs presidents decision on his own to sell out, bend over & let the Eagles have their way!!
Swans along with WP have been the 2 real WAFL clubs totally against this host club/takeover bull$hit.
Keep living in denial daveroyal & other former club known as EP supporters but your former club has sold out yet again!!

Dave you know very well that this was only a rumour that came somewhere from West Perth that turned out to be absolute bulltish!

The bar had a massive downturn in trade and gate receipts were well down as well, there was also a oddly large sume spent by the footy dept, on players wages I guess, last year was a terrible loss and quite a shock I was thinking with the draft fees we would have a decent year financially, I really hope we can turn it around this year on the books. we need more people in the bar spending a few bucks.

would have to look at the balance sheet before claiming any club was insolvent...trading at a loss for a short period can be overcome as long as assets are greater than liabilities...but agree you wouldn't want to keep losing money over a long term that's for sure.
