they’ve done nothing until attendances have dropped to near zero and now suddenly a promotion appears
this needed to be done a decade ago at the very least all it shows is just how far out of touch they have become
can’t even update a seriously decrepit website that is so far behind every other sport in Oz it’s just embarrassing
Useless pack of bastards
Thats on top of a 30++% increase in ticket prices. Soooo out of touch.
This is how out of touch they are. Only a handful of footy budgets will be available at the grounds, alternatively there will be QR codes at entrances to scan and download a digital version..
In other words unless you get there to watch the colts there will be no budgets available. As it has been for several years there was a limited supply of budgets and if you rocked up just before the start of the game you missed out.
They throw truck loads of cash at unprofitable women’s footy but can’t provide enough football budgets which has been part and parcel of going to the footy and learning about players which only serves to enhance interest in the game and competition.
You people at the WAFC are so thick and out of touch it’s not even funny.

The attendances have dropped, so they raise the admission prices. Am I missing something?

I have been told by a source that the footy budget will be available for the wafl season.it might be the woman’s comp that might be only available on digital.
Biggest prmo is years was the penalty to sffc, pretty much compromising the entire season.
it appears as though someone at the WAFC reads a bit here - suddenly the WAFL website has received a dose of colour
to it’s facade
sorry but polishing a turd just doesn’t cut
Even better now the “Bounce” is gone for good starting the season next week.
Another great tradition of our game gone.

Yep another tradition trashed.
And yet another crap easter fixture to open the season , 3 games on GF , 2 Easter Saturday and then nothing for the rest of the entire easter break, hopeless. Easter Monday used to be one of the best WAFL days out.
I’ll miss the bounce. I notice we didn’t get surveyed about that.
I really don’t understand why you’d remove one of the unique elements of the game. How is it that umpires of yesteryear were able to bounce the ball but the current lot can’t? How weak and feeble are people becoming??
It’s pissing me off!! Ticket prices go up. Online cheaper but still increased from 2022. The poor older folk who aren’t tech savvy are going to now pay top dollar at the gate. No friggen budget anymore?? Just pathetic. That used to be included in the price. So now no budget and still an increase??
No centre bounce?? Friggen spare me!!
4 day Easter holiday and 2 days free with no footy?? F me!!
SF losing 2 key players plus the other shit on the eve of the season really sux!!
And the WAFL website looks so amateurish its not funny. The WAFL font is horrible, the side panels horrible, some links don’t work!! The logo (already existed for 130 years is finally back!!)
And what the hell is Win Win WAFL?? Increased prices - Lose, No budget - Lose =(
the WAFc have come out and stated that umpires cannot do their job if they have to bounce the ball in the centre and magically we will have vastly better standards of decisions seeing it has been removed from history and the stress involved gone
Seriously every window at WAFC HQ must have swine sized holes in them and I wonder if they actually know they are the absolute laughing stock of Aussie Rules
Incompetantcy shown also by their website which has been openly neglected for many years and that is the face of their business like it or not
It’s a jobs for friends organisation that lost touch with reality decades ago and has far too many gravy train dwellers residing in a largely hidden protected environment
$18 to go to a game of WAFL is not good promotion!
Good suggestion in the Sunday times: start of each quarter is a bounce. No recalls . After that throw it up. Only 1 umpire has to be able to bounce a footy. That way you get the theatre.
I have a better suggestion.
Unable to bounce don’t umpire.
Entry Price Increase an absolute downer in these tough economic times, a great way to put people off, Gate Takings are so small now, why bother EFFC are getting rid of entry fees altogether, no secret WAFL fans are older pensioners, and mainly battlers that like to go along as a cheaper easier option to AFL, no Budget., well the last one was so small and the print so tiny it was terrible but better than nothing I guess.
Old WAFL logo back but website is cheap and crap, took ages to find the League Fixture and info and whole page is dominated by womens stuff.
want more ppl to go to the wafl so they increase the prices
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING
and now we get WAFL TV advertisement - where the bloody hell has this been and why hasn’t it been in place for the last 15 to 20 years ?
This current set at WAFC need to be eradicated from football entirely and replaced - preferably with people who have at least one live braincell and who have knowledge of WA football
That stale , deliberately ignored & long since dead website has quickly turned into a gaudy pile of absolute garbage - and the sick part is that it still doesn’t function
Reminds you of the WAFC itself doesn’t it ?
Wow, damned if ya do and damned if ya don’t.
Sorry but for all of its failings at least there is some action to put the WAFL out in the public domain. Perhaps it will attract folk perhaps it won’t but something is better than nothing!
