The thing that sh!ts us anchorman, is since day dot the WAFL has been forced to accept change on a regular basis. And it has done that with verbal resistance, but in the end it has basically accepted all obstacles. Not that the WAFL has had much of a choice in any of it.
And with all of this change (which is enough to fill a book) we are now being threatened with various childish senarios by the AFL clubs themselves (the ones who we gave life).
Yes if the AFL reserves comes in it will have an effect on numbers and quality. Much like it did back in 1987 and we survived that. It has taken a good 20 years to get there but the WAFL "clubs" got some pride back through good people who have a terrific attitude and commitment, with very little reward if any at all. And the thanks we get for all that incredible persistance, blood, sweat & tears is for these bastards to rip that last remaining shred of dignity from our souls.
I will keep hearing people say we should just conform and accept this. That is all well and good and I agree these mongrels will end up getting their way through choking the WAFL clubs. But that is the only way they will get it. By playing a dirty, selfish game and I hope they choke on it.
The answer to your question is.... I want an AFL reserves comp first and foremost & you know why? Because I know it will never happen. The only financial option the AFL clubs want is a take over and raping of the domestic competitions. Its cheaper and easier for them. The system in place now has been proven to be successful and it gives these players some grounding having to rub shoulders with players who actually work for a living. If that does not make them appreciate the position they hold, then I pity their character. This builds a better grade of footballer from inside out.
And I will reiterate, what does it do the salary cap? .... Nobody can answer me that.
