WA BEARS

They can always bring in the Western Corridor AFL Killers in 2027 if need be … Ikin says this won’t be a problem

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are on unofficial call to replace the Bears or Hunters if either falls over.

It's a worry that PNG is just a bit over two seasons away(apparently), and nothing official about team identity, administration, coaching, player recruitment etc.

And no news on this "100 Million" compound that is at least a few years in design and construction program.

Peoples first choice over here has always been a stand alone perth owned and branded club.
But having no choice most have accepted it will have to be a Sydney club branded club. Such is Rugba league.

South Melbourne Swans are soooo Rugba League then?

But the AFL didn't call for bids for a new club and said you must partner with South Melbourne. They just moved South Melbourne to Sydney. The NRL is saying to Perth you must partner with the Bears whether you like it or not. Not saying which is the correct approach, just there is a big difference in approach to expansion.
