TOPIC:

Unfortunately the little kiddies for many years now have had the AFL rammed down their throat from day one, it's everywhere and the younger footy supporters in the adult world only know the AFL and that is all that is spoken about, most kids under 14 wouldn't even have a wafl club they support....unless they get picked up in a developmeent squad so for a couple of years they are aligned to them...

I was going to send some old memorabilia down to Basso early this year for the club, however I am not sure of their future now so I have kept it in the family......

I'm goin fishing..........fck the AFL.......

Im dead set certain that the "proposed" channel 7 take over will be good for the comp exposure, getting the punters to the games is a different matter. The WP v Ferals foundation day game and our multi cultural game draw good crowd, so can be done !

Please don't give me the old Multicultural crowd rubbish. The crowd figures are dcctored as you count kids who get in for free.

If we opened the gates at Basso and let people in for free 10000 would turn up.

Did anyone have the misfortune to read the CRAP which was written about the reason why attendances fell so badly for the "East Perth's" home game. Apparently it was wet. How far removed from reality are the clowns purporting to run the WAFL competition.

Agree 100% Swan42. They are clearly on a different planet far far away. They must get to work on the starship enterprise everyday, surely. You only have to have been at east perth games this year to see and feel how dead it is. Some support there but no where near what it used to be. It's like people give a token clap or two during the games and at the end then it's time to go home. The Wafc should stop reading kids nursery rhyme books, it might be a good idea to get back to this world.

agree Swan42. I thing the commissioners and WAFL admin people have a life in politics awaiting them.
Never read such BS and spin that was put in that article yesterday.
if the football public was interested in the GF they would go along anyway no matter what the weather was.
If my memory serves mo correctly the weather was similar last year when we played the Ferals and about 19,000 turned up.
Unfortunately we weren't interested. Including EP supporters.

Agree swan42. That article was simply written by apologetics for apologetics. Obviously not intended for the more knowledgeable WAFL fan.

Im pretty sure Collingwood have a "bring your dog" day round at almost every home game.
