Fkn embarrassing. Don’t know why they bother with this shit. Two different salary caps thus two different levels. To add to the embarrassment they have a lot of their best players out. Hope none of our blokes get injured

hasn't been one ounce of game plan 
the SA commentator said WA is a rabble and it's impossible to dispute
beyond disgusting 

coach of the millennia even has the best ruckman in the state at full back
genius

Sokol went off the ground, I think in the second quarter? Not sure if he played in the second half?
 

What a joke and complete embarassment for WA football. Hopefully this is the last of these interstate fixtures

That would have been embarrassing if it was played in Adelaide. 

Just ugly.

Where to now?

Had to log on to view the final score because of no media interest. Thought I was seeing things when looking at the final score. Been a bad day!

It was embarrassing being played here in Perth. The timing of the match tells you everything you need to know of the motivation for the staging of it. In that respect it was a total success. If anyone thinks otherwise it matters not as the commission are totally unaccountable.

Is anyone generally shocked by this result?
We are completely behind the SAFL in every aspect when it comes to the respective Leagues.
Their salary cap is nearly double ours with the WAFC refusing to increase it significantly to keep pace with the SAFL & VFL since the covid era, it will only get worse too as many Vics are choosing the SAFL over the WAFL.
The wafc have probably been spooked due to a few WAFL clubs getting in to financial ruin and have had to bail them out?
Watching a bit of the SAFL on the box over the last few years it is a far better comp, skill wise, talent wise etc.
Also why did we continue with the same coach who has overseen 4 state losses now?
Not sure he has a great handle on what is needed to win big games of footy without 17 full time afl listed players coaching themselves!
 

Yes, the SANFL do have a bigger salary cap compared to the WAFL, BUT, they have pay offs compared to the WAFL, such as player insurance and medical costs. I would say they are still financially in front compared to the WAFL clubs but more importantly it's the license payments that the states get. The SANFL clubs get a direct payment, but the WAFL payment goes to the commission where they distribute the doe. It's all to do with Indian Pacific.
