Do you think that in America, that all those State teams with BB and Gridiron all their players come from that state?
The Sheffield shield sides are just domiciled clubs as well!!!

A/man you have completely missed the point. The WA Sheffield Shield team represents WA and is considered the WA State team. Under no circumstances would I construe that Freo or the Eagles is a WA State team.

QED.

exactly anchor...its not a state team at all. the warriors are just a cricket team based in WA.

BC congratulations.

thank you swan

they are actually not the Western Warriors, they are currently branded as the alcohol think again Western Warriors who represent the state of Western Australia.

Track record counted against him.

IMO the Eagles are an accurate reflection of what much of our state has become....an elitist society within which little thought has been given to the damage that is being done by the insatiable greed that infects its every purpose and to those that its very foundations were raised on only for all of the goodwill to be returned in the form of a giant "FCUK U" with each exhale from its communal meth pipe.....but that doesn't make em our state team even if the club formerly identified as EP is now known as WART.....that my friends is pure coincidence

Good to see that this discussion has strayed from the topic's heading. A pretty good indication that most are not too sad to see the departure.

Now is the opportunity for the WAFC to appoint someone who will make decisions which will BENEFIT the WAFL Competition even though it might upset the WAFC. Then we will have a truly independent WAFC doing the right thimg for WA footy and the WAFL Competition specifically.
