Was there any joint statement released by them or was it by the WAFC on their behalf?

I don't think Raponi and WP in most people's eyes have lost any credibility, I admire the club
and Raponi for hanging tough and making a stand for what they believe is the correct decision for their club. It's the least I could say for most other presidents from what I have seen reported.

Interesting that you mention that about the other presidents Dwert, I was at the Subi pre-game presidents lunch yesterday, Raponi and his guests were there as you would expect for a Presidents lunch, also a commissioner or two and when Subi Pres, Mark Lawrence got up to speak, after the formal intro of guests he said he had a strongly worded speech prepared regarding the pathetic broadcasting debacle that had become such a damaging distraction for the comp .... but seeing as WP & all parties had finally come to an agreement he would leave that speech in his pocket.

I would have loved to hear what he intended to say.

Why don't you ring the club up and ask.

I would be interested to hear as well.

Are you automatically assuming he was in full support of WP?

No not by his body language, imho I think he was ready to unload on all parties for letting this debacle carry on for so long.

No matter which side of the debacle you are on what it clearly and demonstrably shows is the gross incompetence of the WAFC and how little they care about the WAFL competition.

Raponi has made himself look like a fool.... and not for the first time.

Delusional dumb shit Clear View, why the fuck do you reckon the WAFC paid $25K toward Variety ????

A gesture of good will after WP's massive back down going from

1. We're not removing the 9 logo, to
2. We'll make it smaller, to
3. We'll remove it.

Talk about pathetic You need to remove your red & blue glasses to see what a dick your club has made of itself.

P.S. Be interesting to see if the commission cuts/reduces grants to WP next season.

You are clueless

Your league jumpers have had the smell of mothballs on them for a few weeks now.
