All eight clubs had an opportunity to comment on the draft zones three months ago, I am aware of some changes made to the proposed zones so basically what you've got now is what the clubs agreed to.
One of the guiding principles was for each club to retain as much of it's heartland as possible. For many Eagles fans we appear to have lost our heartland.
From a West Torrens perspective - absolutely.
And there's the point - the merger of the names Woodville - West Torrens is just that now, in name only.
Very sad to see Henley & Grange areas go to another Club.
What identity does the West Torrens 1/2 have now? nickname Eagles - that's all.
Seems somewhat less than 1/2, doesn't it?
