No worries genius - As if nobody knows that, welcome to the world of piss weak WAFL club administration other than the ones that voted without being bought out.

If you wanted to have a good relationship with a massive company like AHG then sponsoring EP makes sense. In fairness to Bronte he has tipped money into the WAFL over the years.

AHGs recent financial are not flash at all, would not be surprised if they bail some time soon.

The colts will probably be removed from the clubs despite the clubs not supporting it. The WAFC will probably use the clubs dependency on the WAFC funding to ensure they get their way. History suggests the clubs will ask for more money as compensation.

Reduce the salary cap by $100k per club. Non-aligned clubs at $185k and aligned/stand alone clubs at $85k.

Points system needs to be tightened up based solely on the 22 league players selected each week not the senior squad. A similar points system also needs to be rolled out through the Ammos and WACFL's so that the best talent isn't poached out of the WAFL by clubs in these competitions offering competitive cash.

and what will reducing the salary cap achieve other than sending layers to the country, VFL and SANFL where they can get far more $ for their services?....that is, lower the standard of the WAFL as a result.

yes and in the main that particular board did NOT cave into the entry of Eagles the entry of Peel or the dockers, so your theory that all clubs and Directors are guided by power and money is not always true, some have the fortitude to do the right thing and other fark themselves and the comp up majorly through out and out idiocy.,

You should get back on the board at South, sounds like you have all the answers to improve the WAFL, maybe even go for a commision role ?

You look at the list of sponsors at EP. Allianz, Tint a Car, Amcap etc etc etc. If Bronte ever left on bad terms we would be doomed like the rest of the clubs except Subi.

yes, give your control to one person and look what happens, you end up in bed with the Eagles.
businessman making business decisions, no surprise.

What I do know is that if all clubs had voted the way SF and SD had along the journey we would not be in the mess we are in now. But some WAFL clubs just didn't have the balls for it.

didnt South align with the Dockers once ?
were you involved in that ?
