Looking back, EF and EP were the big winners recruiting wise last year and that saw a rise up the ladder. Perth and Swans out of the blocks early. Send through any whispers- there’s be some outs now that may have filtered through
Claremont Ins: Outs:
East Fremantle
Ins: Outs:
East Perth
Ins: Outs:
Peel Thunder
Ins: Outs: Hamling (Syd). Henry (StKilda)
Doesn’t appear to have been announced officially by the club but it seems like Swans have lost Noble, Palmer, Fisher, Kemp and Jones for various reasons.
and in football’s worst kept secret - Blake Schlensog and Perth are negotiating with South Fremantle for a clearance
not confirmed just yet as I believe there are some players & money involved both ways
Aaron Heal off Sub’s playing list, so I guess that confirms his retirement. Congrats to him on a great WAFL career with 4 flags from memory as part of one of the best defensive units in recent history.
[quote=“Southerner post=231570 userid=1210”]3 retirements at South Fremantle
Jacob Dragovich , Brock Higgins & Brendon AhChee
Jimmy Miller relocating to Melbourne
We are in for a world of pain. Must be 15-17 players gone in 3 years, most of them premiership players!! Didn’t know about Dragovich and Miller leaving is a massive blow on and off field. Schlensog wanting to play but not at SF is a sign of bad bad things.
Dogman, Jimmy Miller is a huge loss, would be in my top 10 players in the comp. Wonder if it’s a case of had enough of the current regime, or getting a better deal over at Port Melbourne due to the salary cap restriction placed on SF due to the cap debacle.
Jimmy Miller got an offer he couldn’t refuse at his age
the VFL reserves is deliberately cashed up by the VFL
WAFL clubs don’t have a chance competing with it
Has he gone there for work or purely for the footy opportunity / cash?
Never got to get any value out of Ah Chee. Dragovich only coming back for a year is strange too. Higgins, a failed comeback due to injury. Broadbent, never eventuated unfortunately. Schlensog was expected to come back but that seems to be not happening which with Miller leaves us in a shocking spot.
I reckon Stephens and / or Drage may get rookied somewhere too.
We need about 10 players now and some chemistry quick or else we could be battling for some years to come.
Not being a smart arse.
But I wonder if you managed Broadbent the right way.
You got him from Peel because of more opportunity.
But seemingly didn’t give it to him.
I would love to see the DEES pursue him, again.
