hey guys
mad wafl supporter especially west perth.
just wondering where you think the club is heading now that a few of the older boys have announced their retirements
i have heard off the grape vine that the club is looking at recruiting a former coaches son who plays in the vfl.
anyway go falcons
thoughts?
 
B logan is going to play on next year according to footygoss. But yeah look like they will struggle next season unless they recruit well over the summer. IS this recruit any good who is he?
 
apparently gieschen from port melbourne
had a good year playing 3/4 of the games in the firsts
only 179 or so but great runner so should do well on the bigger grounds
 
We need Key position players as well they are harder to come by. Is P Smith coming back next year. Thinking about it i am really concerned about West perths chances next year. T lo and chambers may also be leaving. Heap of the guys in victoria would make it playing i the wafl that where wests need to look. Murray is a great example

Too many WAFL clubs are going for the "easy" option of recruiting from interstate. eg. Subi, North (formerly East) Perth, West Perth.

West Perth has a good zone, give the juniors from this zone a chance and build to a premiership, rather than try to buy a premiership.

WP, East and South Freo have great zones. Claremont get all the private schools.

I believe the other clubs have dud zones. Luckily for Subi they have a bit of cash and can buy some decent players. East Perth live off the Toast.

Have to feel a bit sorry for Swanny and Perth. No money + Dud zones
 
yeh my thoughts too
what do you guys think of darren harris?
my impressions are he is a great coach
 
any west perth or wafl supporters know of any possible recruits from the VFL or SANFL that coach harris of west perth is looking for for 2005
with the loss of experienced players we need some midfielders.
anyone have any clues?
go falcons
thanks guys
 
It just gets worse for west perth. Chambers and T longmuir both heading east. With Afl trade week over clubs will be finalising there list before the draft, lets hope west perth can pick up a couple of delisted players.
 
yeh just saw the news
poor falcons
they will have to recruit some interstate talent you would think

You're kidding right!

South Freo don't have many kids to pick from at all. We have the smallest zone by far- next is East Perth i believe. The largest is East Freo which has almost 30 -40 % more kids to pick from.
What South freo do is WORK their Zone very well and we have a good Country area to pick from. But then again some other clubs have great country zones to pick from.
As for Perth and Swans; they have a very good zone to choose from

you may be right
does anyone know of any possible recruits that west perth have been trying to attarct
i hear they have already got a couple of ruckmen and are looking at a midfielder from the vfl and a midfielder from the country.
any one know anything
they need to boost their stocks to cover their losses over the break
 
I'm from Albury-Wodonga and Darren Harris and Geoff Valentine were in town at the weekend interviewing prospective recruits.

Corowa-Rutherglen's Ryan MacKenzie, who won the Ovens and Murray league best and fairest at just 20yo, and North Albury's Matt Murray (younger brother of former Port Adelaide player Derek and St Kilda player Alan) were among the players they interviewed.

MacKenzie looks like joining East Perth though and Murray, if he goes anywhere will go to West Perth.

West Perth is interested in Steve McKee but he may return to his original club, Myrtleford, also in the Ovens and Murray league.

Interestingly, Brad Murray is from Myrtleford and they are having a huge crack at trying to get him back also.
 
thats interesting just read then that mckenzie signed with east perth.
anyone else know any other players that have been interviewed over the last week or so
