why would you care Mel ?
if a WAFL club used it funds to do that its answerable to its members, are you a member of a WAFL club ?
if its funded by the WAFC your issue is with them, not the WAFL club.

I certainly care - the club financials dont tell the full story, Mel is right, they should be included, if there is nothing to hide why not?

have you cared enough to raise it with your club Bazza ?
I believe they are contactable by phone and email if you need to speak to someone.

Fong should not be let anywhere near the WAFC, same old stooges. Nor should Marshall, she is a clown.

Wayne Martin is a decent enough bloke. Barnett would be OK, he is a WAFL person and I think is quite suspicious of the motives of WCE and Dockers. The 11 Million PA deal to get them out of Subi Oval was a gift, given they had been landed Subi for SFA.

One thing Alexander was wrong on was saying WA was in a better place than SA because they sold the licences back to the AFL, I would say the opposite the decoupling is the way to go.

Yes Mark I am a member of a WAFL club. Also a member of an AFL and do voluntary work for a community club. Like most normal people I can compartmentalise and support different clubs in different competitions and even different competitions itself without feeling any internal conflict. I go to AFL, WAFL, amateur, junior and country games of football over the year to look for and bring back ideas to my own club. Can you say you see football at a broad level other than I saw a game once in the 80s? You ask others to do their research, what research have you done?

A parliamentary enquiry means the club officials have to answer these questions on spending honestly and provide proof.

was the question asked ? people are only required to answer questions that are asked.
have you asked your WAFL club the questions that concern you ?

Why would you do that? Thats like saying has anyone asked China about the orgins of Covid instead of having someone outside looking in, the whole point is about an INDEPENDENT inquiry, not getting the same old answers from the same of people.

so posting your concern on the internet is going to solve your problem ?

You demonstrate some strange logic? whay would a blog site solve anything, why would ron Alexander going public solve anything in itself. of course they don't do they - they express a desire for an inquiry that would get some answers.

your logic confuses me, you are the one that said you care about people going to the GF for free, not me.
but you dont want to speak to anyone about it ?
