Last bastion of grassroot basic enjoyment of local footy is upon this state

What a meltdown this is, I know you might think the AFL has ruined the WAFL , you know what ruined going to the WAFL for. me the club I supported for most of my life, yes the Demons , this club actually made going to the footy on a Saturday a chore., so this argument about the AFL turning punters away from WAFL is shite.

Things change my kids also grew up going to the WAFL , won't have a bar of it now , better things to do than going to watch Perth get flogged, or the same team winning flag after flag.

Meltdown ??? - so you ditch & slag off Perth and then throw on the colours of the biggest losers in Victorian football history , that makes sense mate

Plenty of Sowfs supporters support Freo mate, are they losers as well probably some of your mates no doubti, ditch Perth eh ,always gotta laugh when some flog makes comments like this as if they've lived the life of a Perth supporter..

We know you hate the AFL but you are a minority, the AFL destroyed the WAFL bla bla bka they held a gun to millions of peoples heads so they'd stop going to the WAFL lol.

No mate I didn't call any particular person a loser - just the "club" you disowned Perth for as stated

Late Edit: Not as small a minority as you would like to believe

S42: Hang in there -- Swans have done nothing to lose your support. You don't want to become one of those 'I used to support' people that infest this state.

As Baz saids the Wafl is on life support.And has a decade left.The loss of the Colts teams destroys the zones.The WAFC and Afl don't care about the historical reasons.So without out our AFL ressie sides do the commission see a need for the future AFLWA.Don't the Afl promote some trash like Aflx and Aflw.

AR as I said previously there have been many down periods as a Swans supporter over the year but there was always a chance it could be turned around next season. What is different this time is that we have got a WAFC hellbent on DESTROYING the WAFL. It may not happen this year but it will be next year that all the colts' games will be played at the one venue each round. The WAFL clubs will not have access to colts' players to play league. The ressies will be shunted to who knows when and where.

S42: I am with you don't worry, agreeing with everything you wrote.

They have had two major reviews into the wafl in recent times and none of them, if I am rememberring correctly, centrred on a Victorian/Commission take over of the colts or the relegation of the reserves in favour of women's footy.

I bet you they won't lower the price of entry despite the fact that you weill be seeing less football on the day.
