If East Freo do not sign Jon Griffin the Selectors need to step down.

Will Palmer end up back at the sharks? Hear Claremont having a crack...

Lets hope so. I reckon all Afl players that get delisted or retire from afl should be made to go back to there original wafl club

Good to see we secured Jon Griffin.
Signed up for 2 years. Exactly what we need, big strong ruck/forward.
"made"
But yes should be encouraged/incentivised. The WAFL do have good intent with this with the points system but the problem is there isn't a whole lot of benefit to the player themselves. Worth looking at but I don't think it needs to go too far, it's not North Korea we're talking.
Jordan Snadden is out from wc. Another big midfielder hopefully comes back.
Snadden, Jansen and Griffen can all play as mids and marking forwards. We really need to be kicking bigger scores.
Griffin is a great get in. Let’s just cross our fingers he isn’t drafted by a club looking for more mature ruck talent.
We all saw what happened with De Boer and Mzungu at GWS. No one saw that happening pre the 2016 drafts.
Latest I heard was that Palmer is being courted by Claremont and East Fremantle people like Hans said.
Snadden is a good if we can secure him. Struggled for continuity at the Royals and was often in the seconds when experienced AFL players returned. Maybe he does become like a Dylan Main when outside of EP.
Jansen I think I’ve mentioned before is a very handy in. Was solid depth at Brisbane and without Rockliff maybe they could’ve done with him in 2018. Will do his best work as a grunt midfielder you’d think.

Sounds like BOB might go round again IF EF gets a few recruits and his body holds up...big IF considering his injury history. Need a tall forward I reckon, wonder if Peel will loan us Strnadica when they don't pick him....
Could try Griffin at full forward and use Symonds/Cronan in the ruck
Probably go the other way mate, think Symonds kicked 7 in a reserves match this year....also James Bristow is back so have a few options, but a tall forward would be handy....Howson, O'Reilly and Ellis are all options too....need Griff in the ruck, but yeah no harm in resting Griff up front....need to improve our forward 50 entries tho

Forgot about Bristow. Be good to have plenty of talls for a change.
Need some up back as well...Winton and Jupp bat above their weight but struggle against the Peel talls EP talls and guys like Keitel, Maister,Shaw etc...Bailey showed promise from all reports before doing a shoulder, while EF only possible draft prospect Chris Scott(BOG in colts GF) is 193 odd cm and a defender...if he goes then EF will be a tad undersized up back....if not then perhaps ok..only young tho. ...can't see any of Bristow or Symonds being versatile enough to play back....pity Stokes went back to Geraldton.
Not sure it's easy to find a kpb. We must have some spare points tho with Watson gone.
At present Bristow is EF highest points player at 5...so plenty of room, though if EF do get Palmer back, money might be the problem....Griff, Jansen and Palmer all coming off AFL contracts, surely they would be on well above the WAFL average....as would Jono Marsh....time will tell
Ex Essendon/EP player Nick Kommer signs on for 2 years...at 27 hopefully his experience will complement the array of youngsters EF have down at the club at present. Few more signings TBA I hope...would think ex WCE rookie Snadden will sign on.....Palmer would be nice, a tall forward and if not Palmer another WAFL quality mid would be nice....always handy to get those WAFL quality 1 pointers on board enabling a splurge on some 10 pointers...
Palmer may be waiting for the AFL draft. Could be a few players available then.
I remember seeing Kommer playing some good AFL games. If he is healthy be a very good pickup.

Andrew Swallow has retired from North Melbourne. He and his wife also from Perth recently had their second child. Good chance they would return to WA to get some free babysitting. Be an excellent player for us. Has lost a bit of pace since doing his achilles but great leadership for our young players.
Another big man. Cameron Loersch 203cm 103kg ruckman/forward was on Sun's rookie list but didn't get a league game. Don't know what that means for points. Good mark and kick. Has had a few minor I injuries. Was originally from Peel then South.
Loersch is more a full forward than a ruck. Not that agile but he may be the classic big man who takes a while to get good. We should be able to play him full time forward with the other rucks we have.
Loersch will get plenty support from Griffin and Bristow up forward....with O'Reilly, Howson, Mirco and Ellis at the club, EF seems to have a few options to goal....totally agree Andana....Loersch will predominantly play FF I reckon.....get Palmer and EF will have some good small forwards in Ryan, Perry, BOB snapping at the big fellas heels for opportunitist goal kicking.....
