Mitchell Lague hasn't been confirmed by the club but is on the WAFL website as a Perth player.

Lague is listed on Perth website albeit in EP kit. A 3 point player.

Every pre season there's large numbers trying out the reallity is that very few are standouts.
More for depth than anything else.

Yep, same every year. What we need to find is one marquee player and at least two maybe three seasoned and well credentialed players including talls..a 60+ goal kicker, a strong tall defender and a ruckman.
We will not get away with not recruiting.
And bear in mind we have to fill quite a few losses..Tropo, McKenna, Latch, Sinclair?, Jacobs, Stack and others.
On the positive side we should have back from injury Belly, Leggett, White and Garstone. But that alone will solve nothing.

Smokester considering Liam Ryan was the only 60+ goal kicker this year, don't fancy your chances mate....are White and Garstone your 40+ boys mate?...chuck in Ninyette( if not drafted) at 30+ and things do look brighter.....but injuries and depth will always be an issue at Perth, as it is and has been at EF.....wish you guys all the best recruiting wise

It does seem like, we get one player but lose 2 every year.
But for mine it's the lack of information coming from the club that really pisses me off. We hear little snippet remarks, "like a lot of new faces down to training" etc etc but nothing concrete or informative. Then on game day, it's the same face with maybe one or two coming up from the reserves or colts.
Meanwhile all over the social media and the Web there is plenty of reports about who other club are chasing and already signed.... JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH PERTH!
Tell us who you approached and what your doing about recruiting, even if you failed!

Congrats to whichever one of you boys that rang pr this morning about Wellingham. A great and passionate call. You were dead right in what you said and it was good to hear Hagdorn agree with you. At least someone can see what’s happening to the WAFL and the mismanagement of it.

what was said 58?

Yes I heard it great call, they agreed that he should of gone back to Perth basically.

My take of it was that he said what others have. How can a club like the WC Royals be allowed to have Wellingham when they have access to all the WCE players particularly when Perth are struggling so badly. The WAFC rattle on about equalisation but do SFA about it when it comes to the 7 WAFL clubs. The caller has to be congratulated on his passion and I hope he doesn’t walk away from WA footy as he said he would. We need people like him.

yep...no argument from me...cheers 58.
