WA players possibly coming back to WAFL

[Tundrawolf]

That would give Souths the basis for a pretty strong team, with Jaymie Graham staying committed to Souths as well.

The basis for a pretty strong team but we seriously lack pace. In need of a quality ruckman, a key defender and a quality mid or 2 (preferably with a bit of toe). We've got some quality kids coming through that can provide the pace.

We are also in talks with Clayton Collard.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Also stated in the Sunday Times today that Souths are in the running for Chad Jones' services, along with Claremont and East Perth. According to Hagdorn he's unlikely to head to SA.

 

[Tundrawolf]

When's the last time Souths had a quality ruckman? (Serious question, I think you'd have to go back a fair while, maybe Pears?)

A forward line with Farmer, Collard and Sampi could cause the opposition more than a few headaches.

Adam Hay was a quality ruckman....until a lack of judgement cost him all respect he had from his team mates and the club.

Ricky Mott & Matthew Capuano (albeit for just a season) before him.

I would say Kristin Thornton will be coming back home which is the consensus with my mates but no ones actually heard anything from him yet. Which WAFL club did he play for...the same as Ash?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yeah, Peel.

 

[bigburger]

Ash doesn't play for Peel. He plays for Perth IIRC.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I think he shifted to Perth in 2008 after being cut from the Eagles rookie list. He was recruited from Peel, as was his brother.

 

[wce_all_da_way]

I always thought Ash Thornton had been at Perth his whole career.

I guess not, but I'm positive he's spent more than just this year there.

 

[reggie]

Nah, Ash Thornton moved to Perth this year

 

[Norman Ross]

Kristin will be at Sydney next year as a Rookie.

He is going to nominate for the national draft, Carlton and a couple of other clubs have shown some interest but Sydney have given him an assurance that should no one pick him up in the ND, he will be re-rookied by the club.

Aghh I actually thought that might happen. I didn't think Roos would leave him high and dry after what happened in the preseason this year.

 

[youarewrong]

Peter Matera will be an Assistant at the Swannies next year.

Big shock that S.O'keefe left Souths, he was some player.

 

[4th Tier]

Courtney Johns is currently training with EF.

 

[Masten_Magic]

guess the players which where waiting on the draft

 

[LemmingMaster]

Courtney Johns is currently training with EF.

While he was judged rather roughly in the AFL, this should be a good pick up for the Sharks if we get him.

 

[Masten_Magic]

sampi is playing for south freo this year
offically

 

[ImperialPurple]

Any news on Jeffrey Farmer?

*crosses fingers*

 

[kane249]

Rumour is Shane Woewoedin has been in touch with Adem Yze about lining up for the sharks next year

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

This morning's West reported that Courtney Johns will return to the Sharks.

 

[slugger]

I'd heard Yze was likely to play for Box Hill, Hawthorn's VFL-aligned club.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Talk is that Yze has already signed on for the Sharks.

 

[Tundrawolf]

Moody looks like he might be lining up with Perth this year.

 

[ImperialPurple]

That'll cost them a few points in the salary cap system, won't it?

And just replying to your comment on the other thread about being because Freo didn't pick him up... I reckon not. I reckon with Jarman at the helm, Perth will be recruiting pretty aggressively... Moody will have to reconcile his "loyalties" to Souths, it'll have had nothing to do with Freo. IMO.

 

[westcoast#21]

Yze with the sharks? That should be intresting to see how that plays out.

Yze and Johns? Hmm the sharks to be on the rise in 09
