Set in Stone

You little ripper. Unbelievable get for the Perth Football Club to have this man appointed for the next 3 years. Well done Barra and co and welcome Mark Stone even though you were already here.

He knows it’s a massive job but hopefully between his and Brad Dodd’s contacts we can attract the players we need. To have these two blokes signed in the same week is massive for our club. Always felt the area of Footy Manager was our weak spot.

Now let’s get the new facilities built please. Get it done.

Well done Barra. This appointment along with that of Brad Dodd is a significant step.

Wasn’t Trevor Williams much chop as your Footy Manager then? Thought he was well thought of in the WAFL circles…

I think Trevor was good - but his time at the club bought no success and because of this it was time to go. Funny he may have had his best off season in his last off season. 3 big recruits, resigning Avery and Sing and the development I expect from the Colts and Ressies will see all the glory go to Dodd. Things go this way and the Club stand starts along with the girls first year in the comp and there will be a real exciting feel @ Lathlain.

Trevor was made interim fm when Dayle Ballantyne was shown the door after the Cody Leggett fiasco. Must go down as the longest interim fm of all time. Most of our recruits are courtesy of the CEO’s son’s relationships from his time at the Cats.

jesus DD we’ve been down this road before mate
and that post of yours back then was a kiss of death in the end !

TFAF, not sure Trevor had much do with that recruiting.
Most of it was German’s influence.
Wasted years.

Not sure what you are referring to southerner but it’s over to you now. Suma or Mayne? or?? Must be more out there if Suma doesn’t want to commit to it.

one would think that Mayne would accept a VFL job
Peter has been sounded so we’ll see where that goes
Suban will be in it & not sure whether Steve Wasley has applied either he’s a bit like Ross McQueen in a way
there will be eastern Staters I guess
or has someone sounded out Bill Monaghan as a left fielder - he never had much success against us so maybe that is football’s blindsider , there’s always one

Nah save your energy Southerner. All good.

lol PG was the knight in shining armour…good thing WC were so insipid otherwise it would have been more wooden spoons for Perth.

You’ve overstayed your welcome Tiger Tales. Time for you to fuck off I think.

We say the say the same thing after every new coach gets appointed. Mark has got good credentials yes but whether he’s the messiah or not who knows. Time will tell.

As for Trevor Williams he was originally interim but then appointed as Football Manager and has held a few roles across his 9-10 years at the club.
