Looks like this new concept may have trouble getting off the ground. I am suprised they are pushing so fast for it to start in April next year. Why they dont take a chill pill and plan for 2012 is beyond me. It really sounds like a comp that needs good planning and sponsorship. If it is done half cocked from the start, it could resemble a busted wheel.... Cannot see why those in charge dont just take some extra planning time and get everything done 100% correctly. It will only benefit the idea much better for the long term.

It appears the WAFL fixtures will be released later than normal due to the uncertainties surrounding this new comp that is being proposed for April.... How they are going to match in teams byes with 5 other state league's will be a bloody hard excercise.

And what a crock having these games being played "before" AFL games as curtain raisers as has been proposed. They will be played in massive empty stadiums as most AFL fans couldnt care less for state leagues. These games should be played at the boutique suburban grounds that will have more atmosphere. Seeing 5,000 at say Bassendean Oval will be better than 500 at a 45,000 seat stadium.... Sometimes it makes you wonder what planet league bosses are on. They have no feel for domestic footy, with hairbrain idea's that lack common sense.
