Agreed LB but we wont get there unless everyone joins the journey.
Leadership from the top down is essential and nothing should be left behind.
Communication starts at the top IMHO.

Kerry Anne resigned about 1 and a half weeks ago. I believe she use to put most news up on the web

Which few are they Grassy?

We have a long hot summer ahead Grassy!

Most of the rumours about player movements come from the media or by other members speaking to other members or volunteers at their respective clubs.

The only time I have seen a club come out and speak about trying to recruit an opposition player was Peter Capes comments in regards to Aidan Tropiano.

Clubs only usually but information out when a player has signed.

This is straight from the club website.




Beattie says the club is in the middle of negotiations with other potential recruits.
 
“The priority will be, like Clem, other one point players that have left the AFL,” Beattie says. 
 
“So Tendai and Brant Colledge are heavy targets given the fact they are Perth boys who’ve come through the system.
 
“We want to get them back first and foremost.
 
“We’ve been negotiating with them and hoping to sign them in the weeks to come.”

My response was two fold.

First,we find things like this out in the Media,more than our own Club.

Second,we'll believe it when we see it.
i.e. Bouncedown,Round 1,2017.

All 3 in Red and Black Guernseys.

All i can say is if we have signed those 3 we will have a midfield of top quality.

30+, as rumours go it seems a pipe dream. If it became reality it would be awesome.
But our club has waited so long perhaps us long suffering supporters deserve to wake up at last and find that we were not dreaming.
It does sound a bit too good to be true.
Imagine...Tropo in and under feeding out to Jones and DeBoer to clear, with Mitchell and McKenna running everywhere and Tendai and Sinclair breaking the lines from halfback and Clem cleaning up deeper back and with Jacobs and Wolfy coming off the bench with Whiteeeyy....oh sh*t I just woke up.
Nice dream though.
We still need a couple of talls and another ruckman.

We sure do but i'll take those 3 as a start in our recruiting campaign along with Clem of course.

Yep, agree those 3 would be awesome.
But two of them will cost 22 points I think.
How do we then recruit the talls we need?
