SD need help also, something which can be done with the abolition of Peel's country zonne; I repeat, SD  has won just 40 per cent of its colts games

If you go back to the early 80s a Swans's colts team failed to kick a goal against Subiaco.  From memory we kicked 11 or 13 behinds, though we did hit the post once.  Around the same time we also kicked only 2.1 against Claremont when Tony Micale was coach.  The following game the player who kicked the two goals, with very limited opportunities, was dropped.

The funny thing is , Swan 42, as you know, Subi would not have won the flag in the colts that year .

It's just a rough guess but did Claremont win? They've won 15 premierships in 45 years

Thanks to WAFL footy facts it was on the 6th June, 1987 at Subiaco Oval: Subi 11.9 SD 0.10.  The club that won the colts GF that year was East Freo 14.13 to Cl 7.12.  Swans finished last with 3 wins and Subi 6th with 5 wins.

Between us and Subi.

LH ha, good call mate, my buy!!  Not having a go at you La Hincha, far from it. I agree we could sort out over a beer or two. 

I have a problem with TT.

And TT there is one person who doesn’t get the school analogy as far as I can tell and it’s you.

How about I make it a bit easier for you.

It is not supposed to be a parallel of two organisations, it is a way of illustrating an imbalance. Make it the USA and Angola in Olympic basketball. Is that helpful??

Claremont will always be around the mark because of your zone. PFC , swans will be around the mark now and again. They are not assured to be competitive like Claremont BECAUSE of their zones. A lot has to go right for SD or PFC to have success. SD needs a krakouer and a coniglio. God knows what PFCneeds. Maybe it will never happen for us.

Clubs which have good coastal suburbs in their zone are lucky. Good on ya. But you aren’t special, just lucky.

No that’s not a helpful example at all STD 

You now want to compare the imbalance of the US basketball team comprising their 10 best professional players from a population base of 330 million to Angola who has a total population of 33 million and only had 1 player ever drafted into the NBA. Jeez Basketball is the US biggest participation sport, there’s nearly as many people play structured basketball in the US than there is people living in Angola! 

Are you suggesting that Claremont’s zone has 10 times the population or disproportionately high participation levels when compared to Perth’s zone? 

You can invent as many shite examples as you want. 

Zones get looked at every 4-5 years, every WAFL club gets to propose changes, participation and population trends are considered and decisions are made where the borders of zones move or stay.

What about Perth not requesting any change to their country district - the club was happy with it? 

Or the chart which showed that Perth had slightly  higher Junior participation levels in their zone than Claremont? 


 

good posts lads: Obviously the WAFL Commisson do not look at matters in terms of premierships, which will be controversial for many people.

Have look at the colts season in 1989---the sharks were last, the tigers second last

From 1990 onwards how many times have East Freo and Claremont finished in the bottom two positions in the Colts?
