Maybe Swans should be given at the next WAFL zone changes the likes of Kingsway JFC, Sorrento/Duncraig, Warwick/Greenwood etc to help make us competitive!

Why would these junior clubs be allocated to an amatures club

Perhaps a protected list in the colts of thirty then after that open slather. Proximity to training and resources for scouting etc may be stumbling blocks to a pool/draft type system.

LB how does only having 30 work? In recent years we have had 9 players in the Under 18s state team that are prevented from playing a number of colts' games. Add to that possible injuries, unavailability due to school commitments etc. In recent years we have played something in the order of 60-70 players in the colts during a season.

Have a look at the numbers of players in each zone! That is what needs addressing. One win in a year doesn't make that any better.

No but 7 Premierships in the last 12 years should!
Out of interest which club always seems to be the main one who cops it whenever there is a zone boundary change? A club that has only won 1 Premiership in 25 years and that was by 1 measly point!

Yes Perth & SF along with Swans are the other clubs that cop it in the a$$ whenever they have a zone boundary change.
I posted earlier an option for $ubi to apply to take over Ongerup and or either West or East Kimberley directly from Claremont who have by far the greatest zones by so far it is not funny but was met with disdain from some $ubi folk for god knows what reason?
Also what has to be factored in to $ubis current metro zone and has been conveniently forgotten is the areas of Darch, Madeley, Landsdale, Gnangara & Pearsall are going gangbusters atm and are only going to provide far greater numbers over the next 10 years!
I have posted earlier what SD have lost in the last 30 years to appease the inner city clubs and that monstrosity based on the Estuary who now field a side stacked with Freo players anyway.
Those 3 clubs that constantly lose in the zone changes in SD, P, SF have won just 5 flags between them in the last 30 years whilst C & S have won 16 between them in that same time.
Something just doesnt add up here!!

A drug tainted measly 1 point too BH......who knows what the score would of been that day if TC hadnt woken up with a head cold and blocked sinuses

not all doom n gloom for SD BH....perhaps SD losing those zones has helped the club maximise what few resources it has available......having too much choice is just as bad as having too little.....reckon SD have got the mix just right.......

Let's see if this works. Having trouble posting code on this thread now for some reason

Seems like Perth punch above their weight and maybe Peel below theirs? Although,
not sure Peel have many "country" clubs.

No, sorry, Code being disallowed. will try again later

Bring back the thirds and fourths and perhaps I would not retire at seasons end

Start with Southern River.

Grassy and you guys hand back Dongara and the rest of the North Midlands and we will call it evens then?....probably more folk in Southern River than the whole area of the North Midlands combined....

Southern River, Harrisdale etc are full of young family's
