Claremont at one stage had Maister , Lee , Winmar and Ledger all playing in their reserves team at the same time.
At least this year Lee is back playing seniors. Ledger has played so much reserves football this year , he finished top 4 in the WAFL reserves comp B & F. With due respect to...
Spoke with Matty today actually. Was training hard. He said he was starting training back at the Saints
on the 4th of November I think. I vaguely remember.
No , West Coast will try and recruit the GOAT to play with the GSOAT
(Greatest Seagull of all time - Jamie Cripps) , and Daniel Acres is just a lure , and future stable pony.
The Eagles will now field their own reserves side in the WAFL. One of the first non Eagles listed players signed , was none other than the brother of Blake Acres. They could have done better , but it's clearly a smart move. If Blake starts realizing his obvious potential , guess who will...
Can I add that seeing players I thought were ordinary , getting drafted by us , is hard to take. When I was watching Nick Winmar playing Colts for Claremont , I watched him very closely because of one Neil Elvis Winmar , and I found him very unremarkable. Just didn't rate him at all. It was a...
I haven't heard that we are into Parker as well. Essendon are very keen on him , but we would have to worry about Geelong too with Tim Kelly lobbying for the pair. Don't have to worry about Gold Coast with Marlion due to the picks they currently have , unless they do a pick swap. Sydney have...
In reference to him wanting to choose Cyril Rioli , John Peake said "I was overseeing my first national draft and I didn't have any runs on the board.
I disclosed my conundrum to a friend. His advice was that I'd be running the gauntlet to use a first round selection on a player the coach had...
Belly is new to this , and appears to be using his background in Law , and their methods , which is not the best approach to trading amongst footy clubs. Dodoro is , as you describe above.
I have spoken to a few people , and they believe he will not get drafted. If that's the case , he will be on a "one" year deal at South Fremantle. We may just be a stop on his journey there , after all , TK was overlooked for 3 years. Time will tell. Playing well for us will mean a lot more...
The AFL clubs are coming for Schloithey , Pickett and Parker. With TK having already joined Geelong , the WAFL playing field is being levelled by the AFL.
We would have to come back to the field after that.
Some clubs like Subiaco and us (South Fremantle) are producing footballers that are AFL...
I have observed Libba watching the footy , he seems to be very focused , likes to sit away from others of the glorified boys club who tend to chat all day. Reminds me of Stibbard , he's all business.
It's a good sign.
When Gaff got drafted to the Eagles , we took him at South Fremantle , (under the old arrangement) , and I can tell you he had his struggles. He was not an overnight sensation and was probably percieved as being soft. He has gradually become the player he is now through hard work and...
Brander and Allen are developing nicely , just have some good ones in front of them , and I also agree on Natanui. His size and weight and what he is required to do as a ruckman , is putting a big strain on his body. West Coast will chase another ruckman , no doubt about it.
We continue to overlook mature aged state league players , despite a Roger Hayden , despite a Matthew Priddis , despite a Tim Kelly and despite people like me shouting from the rooftops to nab these guys. To compound my frustration , we make the Logan Austin trade , where we overpaid massively...
You do have a point where our coaching ranks are concerned , however
I don't care how many recruiters clubs like Collingwood have , we do have enough. The question is how competent each of them are and how they are organised. Clubs get vision of every game , in every league that players are...
WA vs VIC Metro is the curtain raiser next Sunday before the Dockers game at 11.40. Might make it easier for the AFL to televise , but it will break my balls , especially with parking and other things. St.C , you will be interested to know that some WA players were held out for failing to get...
