GWS must be thrilled ...

[Oscar]

Thanks for your advice guys.

Being an old fart, (according to Doormat), I therefore don't have a need for unconfuseme's condom, which may or may not be full of holes. However a business plan constructed 10 years ago is still very valid in any business, assuming it is refined each and every year. That was my initial qualification, in case you missed it.

I too would love to hear how the other AFL club alliances are going. I hope that they are all as strong as ours.

Doormat ... we are not now "back on board with West Coast." The fact is, they never left us.

Tara ... thanks for pointing out to Doormat that the article was placed on the ECE website mid last week. I'm not sure which local paper he saw it in as they haven't been published yet this week. Perhaps the author (not me) should send it to them. And also to the East Coast section on the West Coast website.

As far as offering more info in my post than may have been raised, to be honest it just saves time. There was nothing in my post in this thread which hasn't been provided to this Forum many times before over recent years in response to similar questions and observations about East Coast.

And finally to The Duck, maybe you did read too much into "reading between the lines". You wouldn't expect me to tell you everything would you?

Too much work has been put into what has been achieved so far to not defend our position.

Merry Xmas to all readers.

Merry Xmas to all readers.

And a merry Christmas to you too Oscar, thank you for your contributions to this forum.

Merry Christmas everyone!

... especially Oscar ... and thanks again for confirming what has evolved over the past 10 years at Baulko ... a success story to be proud of!

... but you still fail to explain to us how the EC/WC alliance has any relevance now, or in the future??? ... clearly the business plan has never been amended to cater for GWS!!!

... Good luck to all in 2010 (not many sleeps till the NAB Cup now!)

I believe your orignal question was actually "how does GWS feel about the ECE/WCE partnership?"

It's no point pressing Oscar for the answer, perhaps you should give Sheedy a call...

[ShortHalfHead]

Ask Gus, he is in with both of them, isn't he?

[The Duck]

Fair enough Oscar, keep your cards close to your chest, it obviously worked this year!! I just do not understand why your club spends so much time pumping up their link with West Coast instead of promoting themselves as club in its own right. I pressume either way people are going to come on here and bag you anyway. It gives us something to do I suppose.
