Wasnt it when Mal Atwell became President at EP that a number of players departed due to having their contracts monetary wise diminished due to their financial position at the time and were cleared for decent coin?

SF certainly did well out of it- Edwards, Arnold, Hayes etc
Kickett, Thorne & Scott to CL
Spencer, Sparks, Carpenter to SU
Allen to SD
Michalczyk to WP
Solin, Nolan to EF

Thats just off the top of my head but there were others as well and some moved to the VFL as well.

Yes, EPFC were broke and the new President had to sell the players to keep the joint afloat.

EPFC tanked by the late 80s and early 90s and then financial problems would resurface as a result.

Well we never jibbed any of our creditors,or had the WAFL intervene and pay our players wages,so we did the fiscally responsible thing,and as a result suffered on field for many years.

The Solin boys were good value for every club they suited up for.

Freezin, I worked with Rob as a firie at Fremantle station. A good fella. Enjoyed a chat and a laugh.

Certainly, more responsible than the way WPFC walked away from their debts, still astounded they were allowed to get away with that with no sanctions.

SF last premiership team had two Royals in it , Brock Higgins and Zac Dent.
