I fight the suggestion of out breaks of violence completly unlikely, whilst there are a few of us mighty unhappy, there just isnt that much aggro and passion and basically numbers left to arouse a soccer style riot. As Larry Bird said most WAFL folk these days senior cits or at least mature and more likely to grab a snooze after the game than start a fight.

There might be a few half hearted boos, but more likely there will just be empty seats.

Under no circumstances have I, nor will I, advocate violence as a form of protest. However, concerted booing or, as you suggest Bazza, an empty stadium will speak volumes, if metaphorically only, the disdain the WAFL community has for this ill-conceived and totally unjustifiable attack on the integrity of the WAFL competition.

Im with you on that one, and as I just said I dont think we have much to worry about...yes the demise of public interest and support in the poorly managed affair should say enough, will they care, I doubt it, as long as the dockers make the finals and the media keep pumping them up all is good., dread the day neither local AFL club is a power, the plans of mice and men would not look so great.
