Yes Mike and there is one clown starting it all.

I see this is one of the most popular threads in the history of posting on peel.
Good call Boring C.
Back to the good old days for the chunder I see.
Peel just got lucky with their first two opponents BC…think WP showed that clearly today…the really good sides will beat Peel by a minimum of 10 goals at least…hate to see what the likes of SF, Cl and Subi do to Peel this year…
Love your logic there freeze. Except it gets a bit cloudy when you look at the hammering your side took yesterday at the hands of EP, who lost to Perth the week before by 21 points. So it must follow you are facing a hiding next weekend??

Round 1, Peel at home, against a side they fancy they can beat. That is the best peel will play all year.
Round 2 PFC beat a team that is going to be, is, pretty good.
Round 4 a massive hoodoo game for PFC, effc at the tip. We are capable of winning but we shouldn’t go in with a belief that it will just happen. And if we lose, well far from season over. Everyone is beatable this year.
DD all I said was the REALLY good sides will beat Peel by 10 goals minimum…probably 15 goals in all honesty…EF didn’t nor Perth from memory…never said anything about the EF v Perth game…going on Saturday’s performance tho, Perth should beat EF by 10 goals minimum…which sums up how really good EF are…LOL
I see in today’s paper it mentions that the salary cap breach investigation into Peel is likely to conclude at the seasons end. Despite the WAFC generally being ineffective, I can only assume this is because a head will roll and it won’t be as disruptive at the conclusion of the season.
Townsend mentioned a club official offered to throw himself on the sword.
A simple investigation into a salary cap breach by Peel has now taken almost 12 months to conclude…even by WAFC standards that is pathetic!
Did Peel employ the “notorious” office girl from West Perth to take the fall for them as well?
So it sounds like when it comes to Peel “It’s a dilemma” about whether to apply the rules in place for serious salary cap breaches because for instance if they penalize them 8 premiership points.
[color=purple]“Under the license agreements between the WAFC and WAFL clubs, a deliberate breach could draw a penalty of eight premiership points, a substantial fine and reduction of the player points cap.”
“We have to be careful with how we handle it,” a senior WA football figure said.
“They can’t be allowed to break the rules but if we whack them too hard, that might break the club.”[/color]
Sounds a lot like something Dorrington would say.
DD they can dock them future points like the SANFL did to North Adelaide when they played 19 men in a final. They docked them 8 points for the following season. But on current non AFL assisted form the Crabs could go years without the penalty taking affect.
Winless and less than 50%. They should be encouraged to fold. Instead they will probably get a bunch of concessions.
something does need to be done about it; expansions have always failed: WAFL, SANFL or VFL, which given, such a history in three states makes the decision in 97 all the more ridiculous.
Hawthorn and CD have had a lot of resources thrown at them, Footscray were going to be thrown out of the league even with a warpped draft system to help it. Woodville did atually fold despite producing Malcolm Blight.
Most sensible thing for Peel to do and the WAFC (whatever that is) is for Peel to remain aligned with Fremantle for one more year which I think is what they are agreed to anyway and take their whack with premiership points deduction and maybe a 20k fine which won’t hurt them too much going forward.
They will have probably have around 1.5m in the bank even after they finish paying their loan to the WAFC and they can hit the ground running the following year (2022) with targeted recruiting and a clean slate. By then Peel and Fremantle will go their separate ways.
The donkey’s at the WAFC wouldn’t be able to work that out. They are not capable.
To be honest DD I can’t see Freo staying aligned next season given all AFL clubs will be reducing their lists by about 6 I understand to cut costs.
Get rid of the Crabs, they cant even be bothered to make the effort to field a ressies team. Split their zones between SF, EF and Perth, while adjusting all other zones to suit. It’s a totally failed experiment, Freo no longer give a shite as theirs and WC’s leftovers will go back to their clubs of origin or into a WAFL draft. Need to clean off this stain on the WAFL’s history and get back to 8 clubs, 3 rounds of 7 games and a final 4.

How so DD?
They couldnt even field a Reserves team this season when you would think blokes from Mandurah/Rockingham/Pinjarra etc would be falling over themselves to get a game down there with no Freo interference at Peel this season?

I’m sure there was an article written that stated Peel benefited similarly to EP from the alignment. Because they still owe the WAFC doesn’t mean they are broke, they are taking the time they were given. I guess they felt it was too short notice to suddenly field a reserves side. I assume that will change next year or they will be in default of their license obligations as a WAFL club.
