2022

Hearing plenty of optimism around Rushton Park for 2022. New look jumpers, new coach, new recruits. Could be a step in the right direction for the Mandurah based team. Lost some of their high end players with retirements of Howlett, Lawler, Merrett and Schofield. Is it time for their young players to step up?

Now to change name to the Mandurah Dolphins and get rid of the alignment

We saw how Peel went without Fremantle a few years back. Looking at those outs- any sort of AFL hub life and Peel will sink to the bottom again- I’d think.

Cool jumper though
