I don’t think having ā€œM Pearceā€ as an ā€œInā€ for West Perth is correct, there’s not 1-out & 1-in :slight_smile:

So should we go for an in or out?

Kernutt in for West Coast, ex Mt Lawley PFL/West Perth WAFL. Was featured in ā€œThe Worstā€ a few days ago.

I see Willie Rioli will start training with Souths next week. Good for the club and the comp but not so good for the rest of us as even at 30, he’ll be a handful at WAFL level. Well done Souths.

Be interesting to see if he lasts the season BC…

Says he is unlikely to play the full fixture. Hardly sounds committed.

Junior has still to finish a season of NTFL
it’s a long slog hence the statement
and that could change
the link that started in 1974 with Sebastian is about to be re-ignited

Zac Harding signed with Perth

Not a patch on Benny The Jet though. :grin:
But he will be handy for Souths.

Benny Vigona was a once in a lifetime being
there would only be a handful of players anywhere near those skills in history
I thank christ I was alive to see just about all of his games
his long-sight kicking in the 1980 Grand Final was just remarkable

Mr Magic was the best I’ve seen in red and white. The late great Maurice was untouchable but my apologies, that’s for another thread but I couldn’t resist.

Thank fudge Michael, Maurice and Benny went missing in the 79 GF…made up for it in 1980 I guess…SF really should of had a 3 peat there…79-80-81…though EF 79 side and Cl 81 side had some decent talent too…great era of footy

Both had South’s measure through those respective Seasons,whilst in the flipside,South had Swans measure in 1980.

Hope we get to see him ALL YEAR,as opposed to waving Goodbye in May!

Or worse,March!

Never can tell with the AFL,……

:persevering_face::roll_eyes:

Of course,you guys know about that with May,last May.

Yes mate that was my concern if he decided to join us, but you guys have two very capable rucks so no great loss if he goes I guess. Freo were trialing him as a backman, not ruck

The kid is only 19…Is he any good?..if so, surely Freo would of linked him to Peel…especially since Riddle is out long term, Reidy gone, and Cox assures us all,he is playing AFL, and not WAFL in 2026… especially with Darcy being the crock he is or has been lately.
