The old $ubi would have been able to afford both 
Freddy Brayshaw on our list. Son of James. In and under tackling machine but disposal questionable by foot from some footage Iāve seen. Played Sandringham Dragons U/18s. Another Brayshaw heads west hopefully has a regular kick to kick with cuzzy Hamish and Andy. 174cm.

Why are we recruiting a colts player from Victoria. Surely there are plenty of local colts boys. Hopefully he doesnāt cost points.
Why recruit anyone then, Cesspit?!?!
All weāve been hearing on here is how poor the Perth zone is. If he hasnāt played any AFL or State League football then heās a 1 pointer. If heās half as good as any of his cousins then youāve prob got a bargain
Four directors walk out for old easts. Hearing they are in deep $hit and have asked the govt for aid. Any truth in that? Freeze, KC?

West Coast alignment might dig them out. Say to West Coast you build the other half of the stand and get the fence sorted and we will cop it for 10 years.

Might be the only way out for them TFAF
Peel have signed Toby Cossor from Myrtleford 207cm 110kg 20yr old
Thatās a big boy
Just had a look at the updated list above. Nothing from Claremont yet. Imagine having that sort of player retention.

Yep and looks like freo might take Eastland. I would say he will spend most of his time with peel also
You can probably pencil in Eastland as a loss mate
Eastland - The Tigers Ruckman?
Yes and obviously the tiges are not happy
What sort of dough would he get @ Freo playing for Peel ($150K)?
27 years old - has been talked about for a very long time. Never got the premiership for Clarmont in 137 games.
I though he would go way before the East Freo guy that went in this years mid season draft.
Have you a solid source DG?
Not sure how solid my source is TFAF but one of your Perth boys heard it on the radio. I know they are looking to grab a mature ruck in the pre season drafts so it does add up

Looking at the West today. I see Will Phillips (23) inside mid - former #3 draft pick has been delisted by North. Perth fans - would he be any good for us? Darcy Tucker also delisted (28) winger. Wonder if he will end up anywhere
I walked on their oval a couple of Sundays ago and it was absolutely terrible, sand patches everywhere. All down the corridor itās a disgrace. The whole things been a farce. Sounds like this club is in crisis DG which is no surprise. I suggested a year or 2 ago aligning with the Eagles might be their lifeline.
Might be time for other WAFL clubs to pick at the carcass. EF now surviving on the public purse.

Mate sounds like a mess, all I know isā¦and donāt quote meā¦ is that 2 of the new elected board arenāt happy, and want, or have moved onā¦another 2 have come to the end of their terms, have no plans on seeking re-electionā¦and considering the last few years with the redevelopment, canāt blame them one bit.
As for being skint, yeah that is obvious, but heard that the board has worked through the worst, and have sound sustainability plans moving forwardā¦time will tell I guess.
What will be will be I guessā¦out of my controlā¦and one just has to keep faith in those who put their hand up to do these positions. Still have a good coach, decent core of experience, some good talent coming throughā¦not sure there will be any A grade recruits, heard of a couple mid tier sortsā¦another year of putting the faith in the young ones ā¦

As much as I dislike the Sharks, it is sad news to hear. If true.
Really, the greatest clubWAFL wise. So much history and so many great players. My Old man always said they lose a player, they only had to walk out side, shake a tree and out popped a champion.
Hope their problems are soon sorted. But will still be my one I will bag them. Maybe a merger!!! South Fremantle Sharksā:grin:
