Didn’t Kingsley do that a few years ago.. They threw a lot of money at recruiting players and got into A grade for the one year and are now back to C grade. Then there are A grade clubs who splash very BIG money for League players but their ressies and colts get flogged each week.
Yeah good pionts Tigger.
However what i mean by same page, would be better articulated by saying a level playing field.
ATM its not level…some clubs pay, others stick by the rules. So its bot equal.
Thus if you allow payments then all clubs have the same opportunities. Maybe not the means, ( to pay) but at least the opportunity is there.
Those that cant pay or choose not to are no worse off than atm.
To me there are two options, bring in resourcex to genuinely police and prosecute paying clubs OR allow payments for all club.
One A grade club colts team hasn’t won a game for basically 3 years

2 wins in 4 seasons, both of those in 2022 and Ressies aren’t much better only winning 7 games.

Not necessarily. There are some wealthy clubs that have huge numbers and wont even consider paying for recruits, one of which is your neighbor. Kalamunda is another and both have 4 senior sides and 2 colts.
Not wanting hijack the thread but is Kalamunda in the Perth WAFL district!
Used to be once upon a time I believe but been Swans along with Lesmurdie for a longtime.
Kalamunda has always been Swans zone as far as I can remember back to the late 70s.
More than likely.
For some time I reckon we had an Eastern Chunk off Tonkin Hwy down South,like Forrestfield,but I’m quite happy to be corrected on that score.
Yes Forrestfield was in Perth’s zone circa 1983-1993

Ta.
Thought so.
Good numbers on the track out at Nolla. I see Des is back down there, not sure if he is coaching tho.
Any scratch matches around in the coming weeks?
Gossy are playing Warnbro.
I believe JK left Ballajura and went to coach Nolla, potentially taking a few players with him. They are starting in E2 North this year.
What number resurrection is this for Nollamara? Must be up to 4-5, as much as you’d love to see them do well I have serious doubts.
taken more than a few by the sounds of it … I’ve heard Balla are dropping out of C1
Just Saw Kingsway are gonna have Dane Swan run around for there 3s in round 2…
$$$$$ no integrity !!!
Interesting given other clubs have asked and been told it’s a breach of PFL by-laws…
Maybe they have a different Dane Swan to the Dane Swan?
