The same could said of Eaton and Braut going to Kingsway for $$$ that Subi could not match. I heard rumours that both were testing the market amongst PFL clubs and country clubs. Kingsway have picked up some Subi boys that are not from their area with BIG offers.

Or WAFL boys that go to Uni with promises of rapid career progression and the pay packets that match.
Interesting that Eaton previously played with TAs too.

Yep he won a flag last year with them
Are Wembley’s ‘Godfathers’ still involved?
I wasn’t really involved to know.
I just popped down to Henderson Park as a wee lad,learnt Uni were the enemy and saw the odd game here or there.
I’m saddened about where they’re at these days.

Interesting to see that Tigger. Thanks for that. Never seen anyone do that before. The Worst will probably steal your thunder and add it in their next installment of Bush and the Burbs.
Lachy Martiniis finished at Claremont?
Bit of a surprise.
Perth boys Della and Brodie headed for a footy Seachange!
You could see all the PFL transfers online so there was no need to do it previously but they stopped it a few seasons back.
Pre-season transfers are always interesting but the transfers in just before the June 30 deadline were always a better watch, with clubs in the hunt for finals keen to add to their squad or clubs in the relegation fight looking to save themselves.

Looks like Kingsway, North Beach and North Freo are throwing a bit of money around. Long way for Perth boys to go to Ocean Ridge, hopefully they get some fuel cards !!
It was far enough back to Swanbourne.
Not really a surprise, struggled the last 12 months with injury and form - some good young players like Howard, Banfield, Barron and Peace have taken over.
Was from Wembley originally so good to see him return to his roots to play with his mates again

You can look all the way down to C5 for payments. I know of a couple boys in C5 getting some coin to try help clubs get a bit higher up the grades. Strange but whatever they wish to do.
I don’t see any problems with inducements at amateur level. Clubs need support for sure and if they are financially viable and can recruit - go for it. Doesn’t affect the WAFL but has clawed back some imbalance with players going straight out to country. Generally the teams that pay the most - win - is the case all over Australia.
Thats fine Tigger,
So long as every club is on the same page.
I agree, Transfers and players points would be interesting to see. I think some of the country leagues are very transparent and they use the same platform as PFL for registrations and team lists etc.. so it can be done.
The_Professor,
I would think that Country has nothing to hide as we know they get paid $.
Where as PFL ( I think) try to hide/disguise the obvious.
Of course, we know it can be done.
Just a unwillingness to do so!
When teams are announced the player points should also appear or it is to stop clubs arguing with the PFL that their players have been given higher points for the same experience as some others.
