A standalone side we take seriously and put time and effort and resources into.
Or an alignment with Perth.
I am sure they have spoken with Perth seriously about the alignment. We are a pro club so surely this has happened.
As for more resources into the WAFL stand alone well they need players more than anything and it’s not very optimistic that ex AFL or good 2nd tier players from anywhere wish to play with us.
Just a sad reality right now.
I do believe however as our senior club rebuilds and gets better over the next 5 years then naturally our seconds side will as well. We have been a basket case at AFL level and if you really think about it then it makes perfect sense we have been terrible in our two’s as well. Maybe we have been expecting something not in reality?

Are you advocating for keeping a standalone side now?

not this again
I am not advocating for anything, just pointing out that our seconds poor efforts may line up with our senior sides efforts.
I don’t know the answers, I am sure they are looking at it. But in all reality fixing the seniors will be the priority.
How long do we spend trying to get "what we could have" and in the meantime (in what could be argued as our most crucial years as a club) waste the development years of our young players?
On something that has had now 6 years (?) of evidence of not working?
And there's an easy solution that we know works pretty bloody well that we can do while we sort out a better option....
I've said a million times an alignment is the best option. I agree we should throw everything at this option but for whatever reason it's just not happening. We should pursue it as hard as we can, but in the meantime wasting more years on the joke that is the Beagles is so stupid where there's an easy solution that is much much better.
The standalone side is a joke. Port and the Crows don't want to continue theirs, Freo has an alignment and every other team is in the VFL. No other team is in our situation and wants to be there.
Not sure what the argument is to keep trying
