I will not run westies down to many fans know where I live . The other week I was chatting to an Adelaide crows medical runner or something like that he’s also a centrals fan as a side not . He told me he was told west had over 20 injured players not sure how accurate he was but could be right .

That might be the case but I'm not going to use that as an excuse
Simple fact is we are not good enough for the competition
This will be wooden spoon number 7 in the last 10 year's

A few sides with lengthy injury lists according to SANFL injury report .
With a couple of posts suggesting West are done and merge withy the Eagles
perhaps Goody Saints with there connection to West might be an option .
In saying that though all of us hope West get through this and hope they are still around for a long time to come .

If I see him this week I’ll ask him again

How does West go from winning the Grand Final in 2015 and historically with very good junior sides to where they are now?

It would be interesting to understand from someone what events transpired since the GF. Poor recruiting? Bad investments? Failure to transition promising junior into regular league players?

AFL draft hit us hard the the mid season draft from memory we lost 8 players
We haven't recovered
Plus lower salary cap hasn't helped as well
Just my view club is at a low point at the moment
