Spoiler alert for the WAFL season. Subiaco is going to win the GF.
i was discussing this with some mates yesterday, and i dont think people realise how big a gulf there is between afl and wafl.
Subi are dominating the wafl, just like they have for the past couple of years. i would say subi are
slightly better this year than last year, mainly due to the inclusion of Zac Clark. Subi did loose Ryan though.
Last two years subi were beaten in the GF by Peel, a wafl team with a heavy influx of borderline afl players and young potential afl players. no "superstars" played in the team for peel (players like Mundy, Fyfe, Sandi etc...). Now while Gold Coast are struggling, they still have a handful of players that would annihilate subi given the chance. I dont think subi would get within 10 goals of any afl side.
disclaimer: I have been supporting Subi for 35 years an have been a country member for years
Edit: oh right the OP....with the new rules regarding afl players in the peel/EP teams, Subi might snatch the GF, but its still gonna be tough.
