Always the enemy but this once proud great club are no longer and it is a sad time for WA football.

They are now a fully fledged AFL seconds side, Coaches funded by the Eagles, all football run by the Eagles.

The great Blue and Black club dies when they sold their soul.

RIP East Perth Football Club.

To be referred in future as the 'club formerly known as East Perth'.

Sadly....all too true and a lot of tears have been shed around here. The dirty stinking deal all done on the evening of the 29th October 2012. A very sad date now ingrained into WA football
Said mentioned club now gone and our once great footy competition is poorer because of it. But apparently what's good for big business is good for everybody, apparently!!
2 of the so called Wafl clubs have sold their souls down the river - and for what!

What happened to Raponis idea that the other 7 clubs are going to forfeit games against them, we still doing that?

Apparently they've barely lost any players so could be a shambles of a comp now if it wasn't already. F*^K you East Perth

The fact that not many players have left, as you say and I trust your information, it would seem that contracts are more binding than some thought and perhaps the players would rather be there than elsewhere.

I know that colts training starts this Saturday morning and that Mr Clutterbuck is apparently talking to the parents and boys/youths. Would be an interesting talk given the opinions outside of EPFC.

why would they want to leave to get less money at another WAFL club and lose their job ?

Your somewhat on the money there although I think the whole jobs through AHG or whatever is exaggerated greatly. The fact is and it could be said of most clubs that the guys love the footy club and build bonds with each other.

This is exactly why they should only have 1/3 of the salary cap than the other 7 non aligned clubs.

If the Salary cap is $360k then East perth and Peels cap should now be 120K. How they allowed only 60K less is another thing that just stuns me with all this.

Let's see how strong the bonds are when you have 12 WCE players coming into the team every week.
