This could be one option. Especially when the WRFL allows West Footscray to rape North Footscray of a whole team. All Devils under 16 team from last year that should progressively be their 18s this year has put clearances in to go to West Footscray. A coach who can't get his own way spat it and manipulated the team into going with him to West. He came from there a few years ago when West couldn't field any juniors, North took him in and some of the kids and now cos he can't get his own way he has taken his bat and ball and gone home. Disgusting. Immature and small local clubs won't recover from stuff like this.
Typical WRFL no friggin support to help the smaller clubs survive.
This has also happened at Sanctuary Lakes basically clearing whole teams from Point Cook and Old Westbourne (following disgruntled coaches). Worst still this happened at Under 10 and Under 12 age groups...WRFL have been very weak on this behaviour, a well run football league would surely have a rule capping the number of clearances from one club to another in any given year.
