Also Jackson Nelson even tho he didn’t play last year due to injury.Going back to victoria.
Some chatter that Former $ubi and East Perth Player Thomas Edwards-Baldwin might be at the Beagles.

Heard on the grapevine that EP may have breached the competition code as well.

when I heard there might be a second one under the pump I actually thought it was Mandurah yet again or just a piss in the wind sort of thing
If there is 2 clubs done it will be a wide open race next year
I hear Harrison Macreadie has also signed onto the AFL draft merry-go-round also

Given each of the grand final teams get audited each year EP could well be in the frame if there has been any irregularities.
That also means Subi would be the most audited team this century.

Potentially 4 teams in 3 years- competition is a joke! Penalties need to change

Cant blame any club for pushing the limits on caps etc given the 8 traditional teams have to try and compete with a team that pays a fraction of what the 8 real clubs have to pay for players and coaching staff and have access to fully professional fulltime athletes and an AFL clubs fitness and recovery facilities.

Bingo SS.

I am no accountant, but the rules and stipulations must be onerous to say the least. I remember Barra on the Radio around last December saying Perth had been afforded extra points and salary cap - but they were being extremely careful with how they are spending it. So careful that they even had the WAFC go over the books before they signed off on anything. Not good enough from the WAFC for mine.

Ruscoe to SF i believe

just waiting on final WAFC green light & payment approval

Patrick FARRANT - (SD returned from Bunbury)

According to the West, Ethan Hughes to SF as well

East Perth advise Ben Middlleton has crossed from Peel to East Perth

Ben Middleton will be a very handy pick-up for our beloved club, OTO.
I thought he was very unlucky to miss selection in the Thunder’s successful Grand Final team.

Let’s hope he has a word in Michael Randall’s ear to keep him in Royal Blue.

Chance that Pegs may stay on for 2025, both Rothams still in negotiations. Up coming draft results may lock in a couple more blokes at WP.
