[quote=“DG post=231513 userid=857”]The wafl website yes Freeze, but not sure about the club website as Foley is not on it but Clark is

That’s a good point DG. It looks like the club has updated the current playing list only in the last couple of days and Clark is on it as you say. I’m hoping it indicates that he’s re-signed with us. Foley is on the WAFL website as a Subi player but not on the club’s which could mean he’s still weighing up his options.
Very well said BC about Aaron Heal.
Yes, he was always retiring at the end of this year as he is very busy with his engineering job and has to fly away at times which is why he missed the odd game both last year and this.. He strongly wanted to get his life membership with Subi which is why he played on again this year.
I spoke to him after they chaired him off the ground when we bowed out at Rushton and thanked him for being such a wonderful player for us and a big factor in our premierships. He was always very approachable and easy to chat to at the club
Thanks Aaron!!!.
Giro out for 2024. Did his ACL in Bali!
Yep in a traffic accident there. He did one in 2019 not sure if it’s the same knee. Big loss
We haven’t had much luck with traffic accidents over the years, Fathers broke his ankle in one, young McGowen paraplegic from one. Let’s hope we see Giro again in a Lions jumper, unlike the outcome for the other two

Rod Newton and Merv Screaigh both killed. Rotten luck for Giro though. We seem to have had a few knees lately with Hayden, Lockyer, young Evitt, Koby Fullgrabe and now Giro.
Didn’t Mayo do the other knee when he came back after he was disgracefully delisted by St Kilda after doing his first knee there?
Terrible news about Giro! Dammit
Yes such bad luck for Giro and a massive hole to fill for the club, Giro was one of the few on our list that had genuine pace. All the more important to make sure we get Greg Clarke back. Not the same sort of player but a top shelf mid.
Luke Foley is now on our website list too, so looks like he and Clark are on there by default at this stage. If that’s the case should Menegola be on there also?
James Sullivan from swans colts also on the list.
DD I think you are correct re Mayo
Word is with Menegola that he has retired altogether from football due to his injuries and past concussion issues.
Terrible news about Giro especially when it wasn’t even done during the risks inherent in a footy game. He’s one of our few players with the ability to break lines with his pace and tank.
Hopefully Foley, like Clarke, is definitely back with the Lions as he would be a nice replacement for Heal. Who knows, he might also be able to play in another position free from being designated as purely a defender by WCE.
Let’s hope Kyron Hayden can come back well from his ACL injury during pre-season this year to add more midfield strength and grit because we definitely get shown up in that area when we play EF with their hard-nosed terriers like Joyce, Murdock etc. .
I also hope we can find a quick dangerous small goal-kicking forward from somewhere as whilst Faraone and Robbins have their moments, they just disappear from games too often for mine which is why they’re always in and out of the side.
Cheers Ocker young Collard and Brockman would have been good as small forwards. Maybe in the future sometime
So Greg Clark is definitely back at the Den? No mention of Zac Clarke retiring so far, nothing mentioned in todays newsletter from the club.
My understanding being Zac Clarke is playing next season. Not heard of him retiring yet?

Yes SS…I thought if he’d agreed to come back there would have been something in the newsletter and with Foley as well.
Maybe they’re waiting for the draft just in case either or both get redrafted.
Im hearing Clarke is not a fan of Wardman.
Seems everyone is chasing Clarke according to the West:
Claremont
WP
Perth
West Coast
Swan Districts
East Perth
And of course, Subi

What are you hearing Whinnen?

Only hear say SS but heard from someone within WP recruiting that Clarke not a Wardman fan.
Are we talking Zac Clarke or Greg Clark here? Keep seeing the name Clarke popping up on here. Surely Greg Clark is a Subi boy thru n thru?
