Have to play finals if they earn them. No membership as every game will be an away game and admissions go to support the home club. Plain royal jumper with no wings and plain gold jumper for clashes.

Whilst initially it would be good to play all away games, I think our games as you've stated should be the ones to go to the rural areas. This way the WAFL clubs don't lose bar intake that week and our club can show off the youth to the state. I also think there definitely should be curtain raisers. Every WAFL player would love the chance to play on Optus.Great news for us and and the rest of the WAFL teams.
Benefits-
I will want to see how we keep the balance with supporters maintaining loyalty of their WAFL team and interest in the Eagles.
- Not the annoying WAFL byes due to odd numbers of teams
- I expected a higher licence fee and we have the financial strength for it to not hurt us. My thoughts were that it was potentially a 7 figures off off inducement and I would not have blinked
- Jobs for senior boys in coaching and development - not sure how it will work with NGA
- I like the idea of away games
- Should get better attendances at WAFL games not disliking the team I am interested in watching
- Chance to build a consistent culture
- Paved the way for how we get our own AFLW team
- East Perth will not have the “woe is me excuse”
I would really like the Eagles to arrange the fixtures to play at rural locations and build interest in country games. Doty’s and Claremont have been consistently good with that commitment over a sustained period.
Not sure what it will mean for reserves and colts. Guess that is the next level of detail to be worked out.
Not sure on all the plans but with AFL, AFLW and WAFL teams, Lathlain Park will be busy
I really want us to have a women’s team just so they can win a flag before the Freo men’s team

They use top up playersOk there’s 44 on the list plus rookies (I think?) .....what if we get injuries ...will they be able field a team .....if 22 play for the eagles plus usually 1-2 emergencies then how do you find 22 players for the wafl side ....
Cutting it fine
I haven’t read all the stuff ....but we would need 55 players on our list to feild two teams ....
I’d prefer the same ones for branding reasonsHopefully they come up with a different jumper to wear in game.

Where from
Wouldn’t thone guys be on a wafl team already ....or atleast in a wafl
You can’t jus grab some hack and throw him out there ....
He will bloody crash into one of our star players and injure them
This has not been thought thru very well
More than that. How about the Colts and Reserves teams associated with the WAFL league team?Ok there’s 44 on the list plus rookies (I think?) .....what if we get injuries ...will they be able field a team .....if 22 play for the eagles plus usually 1-2 emergencies then how do you find 22 players for the wafl side ....

So, Freo get access to the state's best players before we even enter the comp? And we'll probably have worse draft concessions than them when we finally enter as well.The problem is, the girls that we had training with us earlier in the year as part of the West Coast Eagles women’s Academy, have all been invited to train with Freemantle now, because the new Fremantle women’s coach was involved in the women’s state program. I don’t know how many of them will still be available, by the time our women’s team is formed.
Through the Ammos.
Olango will be rucking. If not him then McInnes or whoever we get to replace him. One of the cat B guys like Bines could potentially ruck too.Your going to have some ammo in the ruck ...coz the two rucks we do have in the afl team
Sorry Fraser McInnes yes .....but seriously dumb idea
So,what happens to amateur tea, that loses their best player...
That comp loses its integrity totally
We have made played finals four years in row ....2 grand finals .....1 flag
It wasn’t broken .....
Dead set stupid idea this one .....I’m done in this thread ....

My take on it.Potential team if it was the team we currently have with no players injured. Players in red potential to be delisted/traded.

It was broken. East Perth didn't want to align any longer. Can't force them to keep going.Your going to have some ammo in the ruck ...coz the two rucks we do have in the afl team
