Okay,
Seems to be a little confusion regarding the use of the WAFC’s titles for these comps.
What is everyone’s general consensus when it comes to naming these categories?
We initially had them as WAAFL, but brought them into line with what the WAFC has been calling them.
I must profess not to be an expert with regards to the amateurs…
Thoughts and opinions?
It reckon it might be better to title it WAAFL or WA Amateurs Mike as there are now no other serious metro footy comps anymore with the old Sunday League gone ..and as the other boys have said before there are a helluva lot of posters on the footygoss amateurs section & they are all pretty parochial. Nearly as parochial as us Swans boys are or even freeze is to his Ressie boys!! 
I agree call it WA Amateur League. I didn’t realise community footy had us under thst title initially.
No worries appreciate the input so far… happy to do this, however I will let this run a few more days to let everyone have a say…
Mike.
WAAFL for mine as posters for that comp will outnumber others outside the WAFL/AFL by 100 to 1…
Agree - needs to be WAAFL
There are 4 organisations under Senior Community Football - West Australian Amateur Football League – Country Football – Metropolitan Football League which was the old Mercantile Association - and Women’s Football.
Under the title – Senior Community Football – the headings - Country Football and the Metropolitan Football League are already listed.
With Mikes OK three things just need to happen;
Add another heading called Amateur Football.
Shift Women’s Football over to this title.
Place them alphabetically so as the Amateur League will be the first listed.
This will cover all the bases.
Regards
A change to Amateur League would be the go.
The Goss only has Country Leagues and Amatuer Leagues which covers them all.
It will become a bit choked on the site if there is a different heading for every minor league.
I personally think the AFL setup is a mess and AFL could of covered all AFL. Topics could be started by Club members within that title and used by different AFL clubs..
Sorry Devonleigh dont really agree with your changes.. It is getting bigger than Ben Hur. I say use the KISS method.
Well Cardy it’s about people putting their views to the moderator not each other so no apologies needed. Your info is wrong about the Goss as it also has/had SFL as a heading, in which the MFL postings went.
In keeping with the positive input regarding the KISS method lets have the title Senior Community Football with two headings being Amateurs and Minor Leagues. All postings regarding the Country, MFL and WAWFL just go in the minor leagues.
Would be best to keep it as WAAFL
Yes had a look at the Goss..and you are right on SFL.
Looks like they have given up with the Spam over there 
3 main headings for that section seems to be the go.
Lets hope the country guys dont want a separate heading for each zone!
E.G Avon,Central Wheatbelt,Central Kimberly,Central Midlands Coastal
Central Wheatbelt,CBH Eastern districts,East Kimberly,CBH Esperance and districts,Gascoyne,Goldfields,Great Northern,Great Southern,Lower Sth West
Mortlock,Newman,North Midlands, North Pilbara,Ongerup,Onshore cup,Peel, Ravensthorpe and districts, South West,Upper Great Southern, West Kimberly.
Think that covers them all (taken from Landmark series teams).
But then having said that dont know if these leagues have a chat page as such and have noticed the Country posters put a lot on the Goss (along with spammers )
I feel the Country guys would love to have a thread for their clubs for passing info on and chat. I love to read on how the WPFC seconds are going at Cervantes..
Always get down to a few Landmark games especially at EF oval each year.
Anyway look forward to what the Country people think and food for thought.
And once again all for a Amateurs topic as they have good input as well.
They could have a thread for each club as well but as I have said previously the site could become a bit Choked with all these sides listed.
As I have said I think the AFL clubs getting a seperate thread is a bit messy and The AFL clubs DO have chat boards already on other sites e.g Big Footy etc
Either way, happy to have made the jump from the spam site that once was FootyGoss.
Cardy, you can keep up with the Cervantes Cardinals. previously called Cervantes Royals, on a bonzer site run by Trevor Kelly at http://wafootyforum.yuku.com.
Its static with previous history of match results.
The amateurs thread on goss had ten times the input of the minor leagues. Probably 30 if you take into account the pages per topic.
As a dinosaur still following the WAFL the best page from goss for me was WAFL chat as it was a thread that those posting really gave good coverage to the topic reported.
WAAFL for mine.
Thanks Devon Leigh.. I thought Trevor had retired and the site was finished
WAFOOTYFORUM is a great site all round. I always went into the Tipping comp which was great fun. Have put it back on my bookmarks
Thanks for that it certainly covers the Country Leagues big time
WAAFL sounds good to me.
So what are we doing?
Changing Senior Community Football heading back to Amateur & Country Leagues. with the sub headings:-
WAAFL is a given, and I think renaming it is what everyone wants.
As for the other categories…
Country Football?
Minor Leagues?
Amateur Leagues?
And moving WAWFL into this group?
Mike.
Main heading:
Amateur & Country Leagues
Subheadings:
WAAFL
Country
WAWFL
Other
I suggest the following all under Main headings
WA Amateurs
Country Football
Community Football (this would cover womans and Mercantile? and Junior sub headings) is the Mercantile league still going?
I have pinched these Headings from Trevors WA Footy Forum and they seem to fit the bill
e.g Have a look at for the idea
If we could take a blend of Whitey and Cardy’s suggestions.
Under Main headings:
WA Amateurs
WA Country Leagues
Other WA Leagues
Everyone knows and calls the Amateurs as that. This keeps the heading numbers down and will better direct the first time poster or casual viewer to their area of interest.
Other WA Leagues.
The Mercantile became the Metropolitan Football League last year. It has supplied 8 clubs to the WAAFL over the years and will front up with 2 divisions in 2013.
Although some of its senior clubs are associated with WAFL clubs on a user basis the WAWFL is an autonomous organisation within the WAFC.
The Onshore Cup is an Association made up of teams from the South West.
The Spring competition in Perth has become a regular competitive feature.
Organised Indigenous carnivals occur between communities from the outlying areas.
