Absolutely Bazza.

It would be no different to a production company putting together a pilot for a TV show and presenting it to the network executives, so to speak.

The Foxtel Cup I feel is like the toe in the water for such an idea. All things start small.

It needs alot to go right, I agree.

Just on another note, it shouldn't be compared to elite sports like the AFL, NRL etc.

It would be along the lines of a championship league, or in EPL terms the next level below the Premier league. That is how it should be perceived, and there is nothing wrong with that.

So Royal 2019 now that East Perth exists in name only you want other clubs to go the same way. Does anyone really think that Fitzroy still exists in the AFL(VFL)? A merge of two WAFL effectively causes two WAFL clubs to cease to exist.

Fitzroy is dead, East Perth is alive for how long who knows. One or more traditional clubs won't be for long probably. Is this a good thing of course not. Any more questions.

East Perth to be the first club to die. WCE to take Perth when they arrive at Lathlain and this will have dire consequences for EPFC-sad to day. Little for sight from EP and the WAFC

Yeah or East Perth moves to Lathlain,

Can't happen Baz! As part of the agreement between WC, the town of Vic park and the Pfc one of the conditions imposed was no other wafl team could relocate to lathlain under the agreement. Again unfortunately it looks like Perth would get swallowed up! East Perth are in a good old spit roast for the next 5 and if WC dump them they will have bugger all...... For the short term Perth are taking the money let's just hope it's not part of future alignment

Yeah but Can the Demons get shunted from Lathlain at some point Devil ???? Those bastards only care for themselves

In my opinion the alignment will run for only 1 year. The Eagles will then have their own side in the WAFL which was always the better of the two options.

It will not go for 5 years.

Southerner I for one are remaining positive! We are not in alignment, we are getting a new facility, our finances are good and our gate numbers are ok and our president lunches are sold out every home game. I dont think Perth will ever get shunted from lathlain because unlike east Perth and the Perth oval disgrace WC are building their own 2 ovals next door and won't actually be using the current demons oval in lathlain.

Who knows what will happen southern and maybe it could all go to shit but currently the demons are in a very good place off the field now we only need some on the field........ Yes that would be nice!
