Would Norwood & Bassett be prepared to take on Claremont in a Premiers challenge????

Wouldn't be fair; Claremont players would have been on the turps for the last fortnight.

OTOH, that might even things up a little...

Plus Claremont players might still be fatigued from playing three extra games in the Roxtel Cup compared to the Nwd blokes!

Play it as a pre-season game before the season starts.

People on a WA forum I read reckon on yesterdays performance, Claremont would smash 'em.
Tend to agree.

considering SANFL clubs have double the salary cap and take the best of the VFL such a match would never be an even contest.... unless restricted to local players only - then Claremont would blow Norwood away

Yes, Norwood's dominance of a competition with double the salary cap of the WAFL's was based almost exclusively on the involvement of their AFL listed players. :?

It is not a criticism of Norwood. They are just a better resourced club in terms of recruiting. WAFL relies a lot more on local players than the SANFL.

What a ridiculous post - the only time Norwood would give the Swans a run and be close would be if they entered the playing arena at the same time!
