Did anyone hear Dean Turner on 6pr yesterday night.Karl Langdon.Was questioned about the Eagles situation.The bit i heard was about it not affecting the core players at east perth and development of players.it was a bit ambigious..we are not interested.or.are we going to house a few players or all the eastern states players.when we did this in 2000&2001 the eagles list was only 38 and only 2-6 eagles players got games.with a list of 44 it will be too many.if the used car salesman tries and sell us this idea then i think it will be time for him to move on and hopefully someione with some vision become president.
Chaddy I did not hear the interview.It is always on the cards that we will take some WCE players given the notion that we need help from outside given our zone issues. Whilst they are not as bad as Perths we seem to think we are in need to bolstering our squad from some where else.
As longs we recruit effectively and not like we have in the past, Ptieffer as prime example from vic and a few recent local imports then we will be ok. Every club recruits and it is the quality of the personnel that is the key and it is not just players that are at issue.
As for Bronte my personal opinion is that not just us but most other clubs owe their survival when he was AHG. The alignment was just a financial decision that still and will for a longtime have detrimental effects. The fact remains that he brings in a lot of sponsorship and therefore $'s.
well it looks like we have been betrayed again.we will host eagles interstate players and the only detail will be if it is only us or if perth is going to join us in this fiasco.in other news tony micale to be our coaching director/mentor for barney.ajang ajang to subiaco and mitch dobson to west perth.
Might as well change the name and colours to West Coast Royals or East Perth Eagles, what a disgrace, just after the $$$$$$
According to forked-tongue CEO Dean Turner, “It is up to the WA Football Commission and I don’t think it will be sorted for another fortnight to four weeks.”
Well fellow Royals, stew over it for another 2-4 weeks and then prepare to become the e-girls bitches again.

just got a email from dean turner saying no decision has been made with any wafl club,the wafc or the west coast eagles.and that a decision is weeks away.the devil is in the detail he mentions that 14 players are without a club of origin.what is not mentioned is that draft is a month away and they have up to 9 positions to fill.so that number could be between 14-23.he goes on to say that research says that a average of 3-4 interstate players will be available for selection if a single club was to house all interstate players .that seems a bit hard to beliieve.in 2000 we had two local east perth players and only 11 eastern states players and it averaged about 4 players..

Strongbow and IQ58 i know this is testing your comprehension skills,but no deal has been struck,and the last time i looked Jeremy Barnard is not an employee of the Wet Toasters,so he won’t be dictated to who he can and can’t play,so go make yourselves useful and purchase a couple of poopa scoopa’s for your future uncompleted fenceless Rec Centre ground, which will no doubt collect its fair share of doggy do.
Before everyone jumps on EPFC this the accurate situation, not dissimilar to PFC’s dilemma, so hold ya horses and dumping. If it is true then dump away, hold us to even more ridicule!
Dear Members
I write to your regarding the article that was recently published on thewestaustralian.com.au regarding West Coast Eagles listed players playing in the WAFL Competition in 2022.
No decision or agreement has been reached with any WAFL Club, the WAFC or the West Coast Eagles. All parties are currently in discussions regarding the participation of West Coast Eagles players in the WAFL competition for 2022 and beyond now the West Coast Eagles have disbanded their WAFL side.
Players returning to their WAFL Club of origin is the most likely option at this time. This would mean, that based on West Coast’s current list of players, WAFL clubs would receive the following
• Claremont – 6
• East Fremantle – 4
• East Perth – 0
• Peel Thunder N/A due to alignment with Fremantle
• Perth – 0
• South Fremantle – 2
• Subiaco – 3
• Swan Districts – 3
• West Perth – 4
This currently leaves 14 West Coast players without a WAFL Club of origin. The WAFC has been charged with finding a satisfactory solution that must be agreed upon by the WAFL clubs and the West Coast Eagles. As written, we believe this is still a number of weeks away as there are a number of requirements that need to be met by the WAFC before any decision is made.
East Perth’s priority in the discussions currently being held between the WAFC, WAFL Clubs and West Coast is to ensure our Club is not negatively impacted due to no East Perth zoned players being currently listed at West Coast.
Any comments that this is an ‘alignment’ or ‘partnership’ are simply unfounded. The WAFL competition, as a whole, will be responsible for accommodating West Coast players when they are not selected in the AFL squad.
Initial research has indicated that it is likely to be an average of three to four interstate players each week that would be available for selection if a single WAFL Club was to house all interstate players.
We are committed to ensuring our current playing group has the best opportunity to continue to develop and play at the highest level possible to allow us to challenge for WAFL League Premierships.
We appreciate this topic is a sensitive one for players, members, supporters and staff. I share your frustration that there has yet to be any feasible solutions presented to the WAFL Clubs to allow a fair decision for the WAFL competition, WAFL Clubs and the West Coast Eagles, to be reached.
Whilst we wait for this from the WAFC, we continue our pursuit of improving our list, developing our preseason training schedule and overall improving as a Club to ensure Season 2022 is a successful and enjoyable one.
Yours sincerely
CEO
East Perth Football Club
Well with the letter to members ( as a precursor to something akin to the 2000’s period), players departing and at the moment it is only two that have been advertised, the idea that Micale will be back at the club the future certainly looks rosy for the EPFC.
I for one cannot wait for season 2022.
Oh I forgot to add, cannot wait for Albo to be the next PM, for the libs in WA to win the next election and Ajang Ajang to win the Sandover for Subiaco,
Context and sarcasm are wonderful things!
Fantastic News.
So, East Perth haven’t managed to develop any players (a lot of that due to their choice of being aligned to WCE and not allowing their own players to develop) and that is now justification be given up to 14 WCE interstate players…?
And also East Perth want no cap on ability to recruit, while taking on up to 14 WCE listed players….?
Funny stuff

The loyalty of players through the last quisling era was unbelievable many stayed the period and looked to the end as a opportunity to play for EPFC, yes some left and there were some who it was sad to see go but others were no great loss. The draft hopefuls have been developed through the 4 years of AFL control of the development process and colts with the club providing the platform at the DEVELOPMENT level and nowhere else, one is part of the WCE academy but the others were left to folk in the 14’s, 15’s and 16’s process to build on their undoubted natural ability.
This new likely quisling period with many of the same parties from the 2000’s is going to seriously change where we are in the future
Tony Micale is a wily old fox,and a senior statesman with a very very HIGH football I.Q. ,extremely competitive,and most importantly , not a sycophantic crawler AND will help get rid of ALL of the dead wood infecting the club,so its great news.
I also can’t be bothered explaining to clueless ignoramus’s what he achieved in his first stint at the club,but in his second stint he took over a wooden spoon side,and within 2 seasons,and virtually no recruiting,took the club to a prelim.He in fact had an instant impact in his first season where he once again '‘bent over’'our cash laden neighbours,who were the reigning premiers[surprise surprise!] and defeated them twice during the home away season,and we were very unlucky not play finals in his first season. More importantly players like Anderson,Stratton and Duncan improved out of sight under his tutelage in his initial season,with the latter pair being drafted,and the club was playing finals in 2012 before Micale departed,so you would have to be an absolute moron to question his bona fides,although some ex colts trainers think they no better.
RLL do understand that when someone has an opinion that differs from yours that doesn’t make you right and them wrong its a difference of opinion.
I think that Micale is an ok coach as long as he has the gift of the WCE to provide him with better players to work with, however when he has to recruit he struggles and depite what you think or say that is my opinion.
You assert that he made stratton a better player mmm you might need to ask Ben abt that, as for Duncan, Mitch played one league game and the rest were in the colts but mainly PSA, Micale had little or no influence on his development.
As for you constantly berating or ridiculing my time as a trainer that is fine but as I have said before do it to my face rather being a jellyfish and doing it on this site.
