Chris Keunen was a very good lean ruckman for us for many years, Premiership player too 
[quote=āDD post=239192 userid=1749ā]What can you guys tell us about Jackson Broadbent who you snatched off us before he put ink to paper a couple of years ago? Apparently was a highly rated youngster with loads of upside but didnāt crack a league game at South which is ok he is lean and raw and the old it takes time for ruckmen to develop.
Did he display any of that talent in the reserves? Seems like his commitment waned or was never there. Seems strange to come to Perth now but perhaps with a bit of maturity and maybe a job in Perth or perhaps studies the move to Perth made sense. I noticed he was listed as āpersonal leaveā on your injury list most of last season.

came to South Fremantle underdone due to the protracted clearance battle , Perth attempted to pay Mandurah but met the same brick wall as SF did
Went back to Collie and I believe he played for the Tiwi Bombers in their season just finished
Has enormous potential at 205plus cm tall and with Cockburn having Reidy , Knobel , Edwards & Jones he didnāt stand a chance of getting a serious gig there
Tiwi Bombers sounds like NTFL?

That has to be some kind of record, 15 ins. Up to 6 of them A graders.
And looks like you have retained Winder, for now at least.
yes we have and we managed to keep Tommy Bell away from Victoria too - the lad has talent
Winder , Parker , Jones , Headland & Harbour can form a lethal speed factor that can kick goals
Looking like 2025 could be year of the dogs.
Recruiting finalised and it stands as:
In:
5 - Trey Ruscoe (EF/Coll/WCE reserves)
6 - Ethan Hughes (SD/VFL Cockburn)
8 - Jamaine Jones (VFL Geelong / WCE)
20 - Hamish Free (returning VFL NM)
32 - Matthew Ward (returning)
35 - Koen Sanchez (EF)
36 - Nick Stuhldreier ( VFA Pt Melb)
44 - Cooper Clarke-Dehring (SWFL)
46 - Tyson Headland (returning)
48 - Connor Carbone (SWFL)
53 - Jack Green (SD)
60 - Brady Alvaro (WP/EDFL)
62 - Cohen Frith (Bairnsdale Vic)
63 - Kobe McMillan (EF)
Out:
5 - Jarrad Doney
6 - Manfred Kelly

24 - Luke Polson
33 - Jordan Boullineau
35 - Lachlan Turley
36 - Caleb Datson

another player looks to have come on board - possibly to cover for the loss of Luke Polson
In:
Sam Otto (EF/PT)
