Bickley's an idiot.


So is Rowey, more so actually.

Indeed. The thing is I don't think Rowe can help being an idiot, whereas Bickley probably can.

Actually with Bickley its an interesting situation. He is a guy that sounds quite articulate but there isn't much substance to him.

To quote one of his former team mates "hes a dead head".

Press Release from the WAFL:

It is fantastic for WA Football that both Fremantle and West Coast are in the top two places on the AFL ladder and that their WAFL Partnering Clubs, Peel Thunder and East Perth, have also qualified for the WAFL Finals. It is an important component of the Partnering Model that success can be shared among all four clubs.

It is an unintended consequence of the WAFL Top 5 Finals format this year that the first week of the WAFL Finals will fall on the same weekend as the last round of the AFL season. When combined with the fact that Peel Thunder is playing in the WAFL Qualifying Final this weekend and Fremantle is in the unique position of being more than one game clear at the top of the AFL ladder with only one game of the AFL home and away season remaining, we have a scenario where not as many Fremantle players will be available to play for Peel Thunder as usual.

Whilst presenting a challenge for Peel Thunder, it does however provide the opportunity for developing players within the club system to play in Peel Thunder’s first ever WAFL League Final, which is a tremendous milestone for the club.

The level of collaboration between Peel Thunder and Fremantle has been clearly evident throughout the season. There is no doubt that both parties value the relationship and that they will work closely during the week to ensure a strong outcome for all parties.

It is also important to note that any challenges identified throughout the year, including the scenario referred to above, will be thoroughly assessed at the conclusion of the season in line with the WAFC’s commitment to an annual review of the Partnering Model.


No doubt a similar response would be heard here should this occur to the PAPs or Cows... :roll:

It would've been easier if the WAFL didn't post a press release at all on the basis that they genuinely don't give a tinker's cuss about the integrity of the comp, because that's what it says once you peel back the thin and desperate tissue of management spin and bullshit that wraps up the truth.

An interesting take on it in this article:

"There has been some talk about Peel Thunder, Fremantle’s connector club in the WAFL, and how they’re going to be playing their first final this weekend, but will now have almost no chance to win it.

Well, for supporters of Peel, and the players and officials involved….we don’t get everything we want in this world, and sometimes life just isn’t fair. Tough."

He's right, of course. Doesn't mean it's right.

Its an interesting read. Peel have been a basket case in the WAFL for years and are basically only competitive because of the now link with Fremantle.. Its not a great look for the comp no doubt, but its happening, and could well happen here.. The logistical nightmare being that the seasons don't line up.. As in, had it been the last round of the WAFL and not a final then its still less than ideal, but not as big of an issue

Could easily change the names to Magpies and Power.

So in lieu of kicking the teams out, what is the solution to this problem? Moving the SANFL/WAFL seasons so that the finals coincide, or occur a week later than the AFL finals like it used to in the SANFL?

That would be the best solution for this problem.

Interesting use of the word "scenario" which normally would mean a possible outcome or postulation. This is a current situation, not scenario.

So if Peel get smashed and go no further, the WAFC look at each other and shrug their shoulders and do their review, is there any recognition that the year was totally compromised due to an unforseen scenario.

In actual fact, both the SANFL and the WAFL "hope" that the multiple scenarios where either AFL team can totally compromise the finals series does not eventuate. There is no planning, just hope or dumb luck that it works out, and manage the PR as best they can if the failure eventuates. If the AFL reserves teams do tank, well that's a year down the drain, the premiership is compromised but no one will remember or care in a year or 2.
