The Lord Saviour has returned! No, I’m not referring to the long-haired dude with the beard who died for our sins more than two thousand years ago.

Ok, what happens when a team is decimated by injuries like the Dockers were last year? How will they be able to field a reserves team? They were barely able to field a senior side! I heard that they'll have to recruit players from country and amateur leagues, and really that doesn't help anybody.

Where did you find this out? I heard one proposal was to have reserve teams for the Eagles and Dockers, but they would only play against teams having their bye in the WAFL, so they wouldn't be part of the competition proper. I personally think things should be left as they are, it's working ok. Collingwood and Geelong are doing well because they have good squads, not because they have their own reserves. The Eagles made the prelims on the current structure after all!

You can't just casually take out Clarke's 329* and Warner's 180 and imply they would've had a bad series if you didn't include those scores - those innings' pretty much decided their respective test matches and the series itself.
