The way it is these days Southener, the AFL is king and by a long way. People crave that info & its hard for us traditionalists the accept but thats a reality.

Having said that the Sunday Times did lift their match reviews last year and the match reports were slightly bigger. I would love it if they could include the colts and reserves scores on the same page as to make it a complete overall WAFL report. At least we get something to look at on a Sunday morning. Its better than nothing.

The West definently improved their Monday reports last year. We crave more but again its better than nothing. The WAFL is getting a slightly better recognition and its probably helped by the ABCTV contribution. That scource goes statewide and live every Saturday & they give a fantastic coverage.

I would still love to see the papers go back to the "National Scoreboard" where they had the AFL quarter by quarter scores and ladders, followed by the local WAFL scores and ladders (incl ressies & colts) and then the SANFL details albiet not as in depth. To have everything on the one page is far easier to digest and far better presented for the overall footy follower. Its even handy for the AFL followers who want to know how some of their players in the WAFL went. Hope they consider such a format that worked so well for many years.
