WAFC - a new nameplate & zone changes

Although Musika was originally a SF boy - was recruited from north Fremantle I believe - Claremont zone :wink:

Well with all your complaining about your club in recent years you must be happy Smarty will be bringing in 6 or 7 recruits.

Rednblack have Perth started a junior club in Byford.Has the local shire built facilities.
Heard the railway station is allmost finished.
Heard in 20 years an insane number will live in that Byford area.Over 200,000 residents in that area.

Only if they are A grade recruits which will be difficult without the extra concessions only some clubs have received!

Not at last time of asking gtr. My mate lives in the Perth half of Byford that we split with SF. His son is playing for a team in Jandakot. Hopefully my club is pushing for WA Football to get a junior club up and running and a couple of ovals.

I remember as a kid when I started at Bedford u/9s we trained and played at Drummond Reserve, then spent a couple of years at Craven Park before Cook Reserve was built. We then moved there but they planted runners. Like EF Oval took a few years for the yellow sand to be overgrown with grass. Now one of the best looking suburban grounds in Perth.

Byford has a junior team already. Mundijong Centrals Junior Footy Club, they have about 900 junior members. Obviously, some of those players are zoned to both SF and the new Perth area.

Yes but that’s not actually in Byford being the point.

It is in the middle of Byford, right next to the Secondary College. The senior club is based in Mundijong, the junior club is in Byford (Just called Mundijong).
