TOPIC:

As if the players drafted from Peel wouldnt have been drafted through SF or Swans Colts system previous just shows us all how little anchorman knows about WAFL footy!
FFS good riddance to Dorrington he along with the other bozos on the WAFC have done not one good thing for the WAFL in 24 years!

what about you nominate the good things he has done..

didnt think you could list any positives..

What about all other who have been taken from Swans and South or other clubs does that make all those clubs irrelevant!!!The fact is they came from Peel,not Souths or Swans or any one else.They learnt their football though the Peel organisation.
If he hasn't done anything good in his 24 years,tell me all the bad things he has done.Surely he is not the only one at the WAFL to have made all these bad decisions surely he hasn't done it alone.Lay em out fellas tell me all these bad decisions he has made.So far you got two that you see as bad.

A/man when Peel came into the WAFL competition there was a change in the country and metro alignments. Certainly Souths and Swans were impacted and probably a couple of other WAFL clubs as well. The point I was making is that the players that were drafted from Peel would have most likely been drafted from one of the 8 WAFL clubs in which they were zoned. Sure it is possible that a player might have missed out but in all likelihood a player with the talent to be drafted would have made it to a WAFL club. As such I don't think that you can offset that with the damage done due to the introduction of Peel. As mentioned it meant that revenues and players were diluted by in essence a factor of 12.5 %.

Again I go back to The West's article and ask whether you can name, from there, two achievements of Dorrington with respect to the WAFL competition.

if you know something about the WAFL wouldnt you be able to list his positives ?

or are you saying you dont know anything about the WAFL ?

i'll list the negatives if you list the postives..

deal ?

Give me all hs mis-demeanours.

Okay let me start and in no particular order:

(i) Brady Anderson Sandover Medal fiasco;
(ii) Peel Thunder;
(iii) Westar Rules name change fiasco;
(iv) Host club version I;
(v) Host club version II;
(vi) State game in Northam;
(vii) changes to the eligibility of Colts' players to play reserves and/or league prior to end of 18s championship;
(viii) changes to the 18s championship which limit the number of games players can play for their WAFL club
(ix) change of Colts' Grand Final to be played on a separate day to the Reserves' and League Grand Finals.

you being the WAFL expert would be across all decisions made

anchorman wrote: Thas a good start Swan.Pity your mate didn't put as much into his accusations as you did.
But did he make all these decisions on his own!!What about other in the WAFL.

I am sorry A/man you can't have it both ways. If he was opposed to most of those decisions he surely could not have stayed in his position for as long as he has.

I have listed nine, now is your chance to see if you can name two positive achievements of Dorrington as provided in The West's article. I am assuming since it was an article about Dorrington's retirement then he would have been contacted by The West for an interview and would have been able to review his time at the WAFC. Over to you . . .

I have not stated my bias one way or the other only asked those who accuse him come forward with some evidence to prove what you are saying.
You are all more aware than me of what goes on but to accuse you have to have evidence.All I have heard from BH or what ever his name is for me to show what he has done right.I have not accused him or stood up for him just asking his accusers to prove his wrong doings.
Bring on the wrong doing.Do some home work like Swan has done.
I couldn't care less just hate to see a man accused without evidence.

Okay a/man you have suggested that some people should do some homework. Perhaps, a you have indicated that you are neutral on the subject of Dorringto that you read the article and indicate to us what were the two major WAFL achievements during Dorrington's tenure at the WAFC.
