Where were these supposed extra 300-400 Peel supporters at the games this year then freeze as Peel are already 99% Fremantle's Reserves team??
Despite all the bluster from the likes of anchorman & the Freo bigfooty crew about attending Peel games the attendances at Peel have gone backwards (if that was at all possible)!!

once Eagles and Dockers supporters realise the have to pay to get in to the WAFL they dont turn up..

I find it hard to believe that the host club alignment will bring in any new Freo or Eagles supporters to a WAFL game unless a high profile player is making a comeback for that game.

How many Eagles' supporters would have known who Andrew Geddes was or Freo supporters who would know who Joseph Kreiger was?

Those who would be playing in the WAFL would not be considered the upper echelon of AFL players.

The WAFC need to announce sooner rather than later what is involved for EP and Peel players wanting to leave so they can play with another club

1. What will their point allocation be going to another club?
2. Will there be a cap or standard transfer fee?
3. Will there be an automatic clearance for non contracted players for 2014?

Peels team was not 99% Dockers players BH.....fella's like Bower, Jones, Motlop, Garlett, Thornton, Holmes McKenna, Westwood, Wilkins, Orzel,Hawksley, Walsh, Green, and Brown all played a fair few games of league for Peel this year, didn't they?...so where you get this 99% figure from beats me .....next year will be different for sure......that's why the Peel numbers will rise.....ditto for EP too......

Freezin I preface my question with the following: most Swans' supporters on here I think enjoy your repartee and stirring. On what basis do you believe that Freo Docker's supporters and West Caost Eagle's supporters will suddenly take an interest in watching predominantly peripheral players playing for Peel and the club formerly known as East Perth?

The same kind of fans that think the thought of Ash Hansen playing will bring 2000 more people to Basso. Lol friggin' lol ...

Maybe the cold weather has finally affected your brains thinking freeze (but then again) ..the 99% figure was an estimate in relation to how many Fremantle listed players are already playing at Peel this year (not many left to move over there next year) ..comprehend mate!!

More fool you then........Perth haven't won a flag in how many years and you are gonna miss that because Freo and WCE have teams in the WAFL.......your loss then.......FMD talk about petty!

BH I reckon with Freo or WCE playing away alternately each week one set of supporters will head down to a game every weekend to watch their team play.......also a few WAFL games on the cheap, could be included in a membership package from the Freo or WCE to entice these missing numbers to watch their fringe guys play.........who knows?

......and EP win the flag with a smidgen of WCE players this year, that could have ten fold effect next year with more on display......and being successfull, especially if WCE are shite again in the big league.....everyone loves a winner, not matter at what level it may be!!........

but than again there could be few 'suffragettes' like FMD Swegden who will dig their heels in protest by not going, not too sure what that is gonna achieve, but each to their own I guess!........but time will tell I guess......

BH.....you overestimate by saying 99% of Peels team were predominantly Freo playersthis year.....who's to say you don't over estimate those soft goals the umps give every opposition team that plays SD every weekend then.....what's to comprehend then.....you over estimate on most things you say then?
