Having been at a few of your games as a neutral grump I have noticed the same lot from 2000-02 are up & about crowing about another Premiership bonanza coming up over the next 5 years …although it has absolutely nothing at all to do with the Eagles partnership according to these same “learned” supporters!! :whistle:

Of course BH the premierships in those years won on the back of the alignment, I am shocked and horrified that you could even hint at that!
But in all seriousnessnessness, the EP (insert your own additions) still can get a crowd to the grounds even away fixtures. This is surprising given the number of hand held puppets who refuse to attend EP games given the alignment, or am I overstating the number of Jim Henson products in circulation.
EP have the good friday game and a game on Foundation day which is always a good boost to their numbers..
taking out the “marquee” days gives a better reflection of crowd numbers
Grump can you compare apples with apples. Using comparable data from last year what is the variation?

Hmmm… So by not attending an EP game makes one a hand held puppet. Well as you absented yourself from your club during the previous alignment I guess that makes you a puppet? I would be interested to know why you have changed your stance the second time around. I guess it is easier to go with the flow than be true to one’s self.
sounds like sour grapes to me.have a think about this.subi came up with the idea to play on good friday when no afl games are played.this year they played east perth and got 3400 which is much more then they can hope for.i think it was the first time another game was played at the earlier time slot of 2.10 when peel played east freo.instead of getting the usual 1400 they got 2650 at bendigo bank.great move by these 4 teams.
when only one afl game was played on anzac day three wafl games were played
p v ep 3300
wp v sd 2700
sf v ef 4000
looks like it was a smart move as it looks like all games were better attended then if they were all played on saturday
as for the foundation day derby only east perth were willing to play against the threat of a smaller crowd due to the eagles game.still got a reasonable 4800.
the sunday games of ef v sf drew 5100 and the tigers v subi game only 1800
the saturday game p v sd drew 2700
rather then being always being negative about the royals get your club to do something positive to widen the appeal of wafl football.ask for a good friday game and if the sharks and bulldogs don’t want to take a chance that the crowds may stay away on foundation day how about your mob playing on the monday holiday.instead of whinging do something to attract crowds.

The reasons have a lot to do with why I am still working at the club. In the last processwe were constantly buying players into the club from elsewhere, some good some useless. The colts and devlopment process in the 90’s was deplorable and I was at odds with the football manager of the time and how colts players were being treated (lots of tales but …) so I left coincidence no just the proverbial straw.
Now that there is a development process worth supporting and that I put my effforts into helping the process and can see that if the alignment is managed by the club to NOT import players then that is an ok outcome in the Development process.
One game in the 90’s against EF, out of the 44 players in the league game there was abt 30 imported players, EF actually had one more than EP!
If you choose to not support YOUR club because of another clubs actions then I suppose … and perhaps I was back then too!
