AFL: On Midweek Tackle, Jay Clark details massive plans for Fremantle to try and land Sydney superstar Chad Warner over the next 18 months.
Despite being given until the end of June to formally decide, West Coast are expected to recommit their reserves side to the WAFL – a decision that could spell the end of talk on a national AFL reserves competition . Mark Duffield reports that all indications lead to the Eagles renewing their licence with the West Australian Football Commission until the end of 2026.
Ideally, the club would source the players from interstate in an attempt to prevent poaching mature-aged players from other clubs. Another of the biggest disincentives for West Coast voting in favour of a national reserves competition, is the idea of flying out semi-professional top-up players across the country essentially every second week of the season; hardly a feasible concept when many of them have full-time jobs.
The expected decision comes with cross-town rivals Fremantle having distanced themselves from the idea of a national reserves competition all season,Their alignment with the Peel Thunder is one the Dockers are extremely comfortable with, and while the Peel Thunder have before been on the record welcoming the idea of the AFL side detaching from their club, they will not be disbanding anytime soon.
