West Coast got shafted on their entry by the vics, but still became such a strong club. Makes you wonder how well they could have gone with an even footing, plus getting the home finals they deserved through the whole 1990s that interstate clubs get now. Could have won another 2 or more flags.

The Brisbane Bears were a privately owned club... owned by Christopher Skase... who had his own money. The West Coast Eagles license was owned by the WAFL who had no money. Originally the VFL wanted a side from WA and a side SA in the competition in 1987... but South Australia gave the VFL the big middle finger and told them to piss off and die... because Sth Australian football had money and wanted the VFL and WAFL to die.

Perfectly said frankmat. Especially about the South Australians. In fact the South Australians as late as 1990 were only going to accept being in the AFL in 1993 if they wanted to. But in 1990 Port Adelaide made it's bid to join the AFL, and the stupid SANFL and the other SANFL clubs accused Port Adelaide of treachery & siding with the enemy Victorians. So the SANFL made their bid in haste to stop Port Adelaide, and in the end the Adelaide Crows were admitted in the AFL for 1991 and Port Adelaide were left in the cold (for a few years until they came in in 1997).

Naming it West coast instead of Perth was a fantastic decision in hindsight. West coast encompasses all west Australia where as Perth is more regional.

Was the Brisbane bid also forced to pay the $4mil licence fee up front too or was that just the WA bid?
