That is Complete & Utter Rubbish from the Swans side of things!
Perth guys in the know (DF, 30+, Dazz, Sacko) I would assume it would be the same response as ours at Swans?
Funny how it is the WCE Reserves teams supporters making up this complete nonsense ..a club who sold their soul (not for the 1st time I might add) without so much as a whimper!

The only way Swans would merge with Perth is as per following:

(i) We remain as the Swan Districts Football Club;
(ii) We remain at Bassendean;
(iii) We continue to wear black and white.

As you can see it would not be a merge.

Also, on what basis Royal 2019 do you make the comment that a 'Perth and Swans merging is high on the commissions (sic) agenda'?

I think it would be more appealing if:
(i) the Perth Swans
(ii) you alternate your games at each venue
(iii) you wear red black and white
You see swannie? It could be a merge. You just gotta look outside the square mate.

Yep, I find this proposition laughable. Never heard anyone around the club mention this as a prospect.

However, I am sure the two AFL clubs and their WAFC acolytes will start whinging about having byes in the WAFL next and how disruptive this is to their precious players and that will feed more merger BS.

Fair dinkum, you can already see how rooted the comp is going to become from next year when the full sell out takes effect.

Exactly, we have already lost a traditional club in East Perth so we need to ensure the other seven clubs survive. Maybe WCEP and Peel Dockers can give some of their prostituted money to help their previous family out! Typical of the way they have tried to justify their weak as piss decision!

Yes quite true. We've already seen some of the bullshit this season. When the alignment silliness comes into full effect in Twenty 14, more crap is to come. Very bad to see our once great Wafl go down the gurgler this way.

can't see why any of the SD boys would complain about a PFC/SDFC merger.....might take some of the heat out of SD by the umps, if they wear red and black from time to time.......as you say 58, those SD boys need to stop being so black/white with their thinking!!!

the more logical merger out of any would be South and East Freo as the rivalry out there is almost dead and irrelevant nowadays, Toddy called for it years ago! But no mergers will happen so its a mute issue dreamt up by some nonse!

oh yeah I forgot what Raponi said to you last year Swandog when he was pissed.....or was it you who was pissed mate?.....perhaps I was pissed when I read that post of yours mate.....enlighten me again, who can't live without who again?

Cheer up Freezler Old son! Here is an old Derby pic to raise your spirits!

ha ha ....liked that pic SD, cheers for that ......whilst Doug Green will never be classed in the same league as Tallen Ames ......he was my first ever autograph as a kid........though that photo does show the fella I despised the most as a kid too....Glen Durnthaler.....christ if they had a comp for kicking the ball out of bounds on the full, this fella would be a WAFL legend!

Never down for too long SD.....anything could happen next weekend.....remember last year coming away with a high from Basso post 3 EF wins after the prelim.....7 days later it was a big low post 3 losses in the GF......enjoy the feeling why you can, may be something totally different come next Sat at 5pm!
