Interesting to see C grade earns plenty of interest on this platform ?

Been a year or so…

I imagine it’s because most of the players in these grades are guns for hire who can’t cut it at WAFL level and don’t have any love or affiliation for their team.

C grade teams/clubs - salt of the earth types and subsequent interest.

Apparently ‘so called’ financial gain only happens in C4?
Which it did not…

Amazing,

Still no interest in A and B grade ?

Im sure its not a case of ‘concern’ of drawing attention to “said” club suporter commenting

Unfortunately I think the massive university clubs kill alot of the community interest in A & B grade competition.

Basil,
Valid comment.
It certainly does make it more difficult for community clubs that dont have a collage pathway for youth footballers to follow with their mates.
However I believe there is a little more to it?

Correct KTB,

As mentioned previously on another thread the issues that occured to me, my family (fellow coach) and the players we were coaching…that missed out on the dream of a premiership are not going away!

I was targeted as a C4 coach, we had limited $$ resources to defend ourselves.

I (we) were found guilty of something that I did not do…the outcome affected so many innocent parties.

Moving fwd, why tout it as a amatuer football league when that is clearly questionable.
Yet the perpetrators dont seem to be ‘charged’ and/ or subsequently penalised ?

I was referring to general community interest in the competition not ability to win it.
But in all honesty I dont think this is a bad thing as it would start to encroach on the WAFL competition which is trying to hold its place and doesnt need anymore competition from an A grade competition.
