West Coast havent done anything close to saving the game, if West Coast didnt exsist some other crap name would have been thought up by the genius's at the AFL marketing department to sell to the Western Australian market.
You have it all wrong, its the other way around. The VFL just used you as their bitch to stay in business and like the gullible fools that you are, you just hopped on the bandwagon.

Its a shame really. So few people know about the illustirous history of the mighty West Coast Eagles. A team who in 20 years has created more history cultire and respect then Melbourne has in 100. When Eagles first started off they were put into the club as a 3 year deal where we would hand over 4 mill to save the bankrupt Victorian clubs (not much has changed has it. We are still giving them 4 mill to save them). They were given little help in drafting talent and were pushed into near bankruptcy early on. However Eagles rose above this and became the force it is today.

Its more then clear that without 4 mill Eagles provided we would all be sitting in our chairs cheering on the latest rugby team as football plunged into bankruptcy and was lost forever. Its also more then clear that without the Eagles still in the comp today the current AFL would have died a slow and horrible death and eventually be pushed away taken over by the ever so boring soccer.

Since the clubs dont have the courage nor the class to personally say thanks one or two things should be adopted to show the thanks we well and truly deserve. One idea is to either give Eagles a free top 10 draft pick as a thank you present. Another idea would be to rename the AFL the WCEFL. Either way Eagles deserve the praise cos essentially they are the only reason the game still exists.
OR we could make an exception to the anti-drugs policy. ;)

If Eagles say jump, Demetriou should say through which hoop. Looking back at it. I really cant believe how much of a infliuence Eagles had on the game.

AFL = West Coast Eagles. Its really that simple
Maybe the Eagles should leave, the league would clearly be nothing without them, they could start their own super league in WA and let the struggling AFL try and carry on without them.

Thats not actually true, the VFL desperatly wanted Carlton to be a part of their competition.

So again the other way round, as the VFL came to us, rather then just creating a cash cow.

Read Football Ltd - The Inside Story of the AFL by Gary Linnell and then you can thank the VFL management for your franchise.

Oh, my mistake. You don't seem to be the kind who reads books, do you?:p
