I still love the WAFL too mate... I do take a keen interest in the AFL but to me there is still nothing better than watching a WAFL game on the outer banks. The kids can run amok and dad can relax a bit more. Cant do that at an AFL game these days (or cant get in - period).

The WAFL actually takes on alot more importance these days than in the past because the AFL rely on it more for producing quality players. It takes on a totally different phase now, but it's still another option for the regular footy fan when it comes to thinking of something to do on a Saturday. And given the huge obstacles the WAFL has faced not only over the past 20 years but the last 5 years, crowds are stabalising well and in some cases increasing. There is no doubt the standard has improved and semi-proffessional footballers are lifting their standards and expectations.

Looking forward to getting Christmas & New Year out of the way and hitting the down hill slope into the new season. Might try and catch a few practice games in February too.
