Nice to see a bit of argy bargy between the Sharks and Doggies supporters leading up to the finals. Would be very dull without this given the ozfooty supporters from Swans, Subiaco, East Perth and Perth are all just onlookers and there is really nothing coming from the other 3 teams in the finals.
One can only hope that there is a derby sometime in the finals series, would be a dream promotion  for the WAFC. One more time to pack out Shark Park before the builders come in.

Whilst on the finals topic, the WAFL competition seems to be ranked 3rd in importance with AFLW Eagles having priority viewing with Channel Eagle/7 and WAFC hence the scheduling of the elimination final for 12:10pm Sunday so the women’s AFLW game can have prime time viewing later in the afternoon.
So our 150 year old comp is dumbed down again to accommodate big corporations all about making money out of sport. Very disappointing but I guess that’s the reality for the present and future.
So many country footy teams have folded in the last decade…….that’s another conversation.

Yep don't think much will change when Nine takes over the rights in 2025.  The ABC was the best
same time each week without non-stop ads.

 
Have not heard anything confirmed re 9/Stan staking over AFL. Deal currently being decided.

However, Its almost certain WAFL will get taken off FTA all together as move to 100% live stream only.

TV may like Thursday night footy but actual crowds at the ground don't seem to. I went to a few Thursday night games mid season at the Gee and one game attracted just 20K. The other game was Carlton and Richmond and managed to draw 50 K - but imagine if they put those two on at 2pm Saturday. Crowds at grounds don't seem the priority.

Footy is a weekend caper.

Ch 7 have less and less material to air on Free to Air, so want more live sport.

Some interesting talk that Freo will spend the week in Melbourne.If they defeat Collingwood and fly from Melbourne to Sydney,for the Preliminary.
So if Peel beat South.Do the Dockers fly a few extra Peel players over to join an extended squad,for the week.

I reckon Souths will beat the Thunder. Their team will not be as strong and the Doggies are a better team than Swans in a finals situation.

Wait till you see their team Mike.  They will have 15 or 16 Freo players.
