Fair enough, lets hope it does. All though Andrews was not 100% sure if he had the time to commit to a full WAFL campaign.

Claremont do have an advantage here, Subi have the money, what chance the Dees???

How would it be to our advantage smokey?

Our FM Dale Ballantyne has previously worked at Claremont, not sure if he was FM or another role. I'm pretty sure that is what Smokey was referring to.

I believe that Dayle was a premiership player at Claremont, Not certain which year or how long he was involved.at the club.

That may be the case Mr AFL but if the door is slightly ajar we should be right at the front of the queue.

A big welcome home to Gordon Narrier and Matt Rogers and great to have Chris Bryan become a Demon following in the foot steps of his grandfather and father. Sort of like a dynasty Chris.
Our midfield is suddenly looking very healthy.
Now for that ruckman and that 60+ goalkicker and bring on season 2019..

Maybe blood is thicker than water.
Welcome back Gordon and Matt.
And welcome to the Club Chris, hope you give it your best shot.

I got the impression after listening to the interview that recruiting a ruckman isn’t a top priority like it should be.

I agree 30+. He did confirm that Spencer White has left the club and talked about Narrier, Rogers and Bryan.
When quizzed about any other anouncements he mentioned about talking to several players but wasn't overly convincing although he did say a full forward was on the shopping list.
Sadly no mention of a ruckman. The closest he came was in addition to a FF another tall was a possibility. Perhaps that is a ruckman but perhaps he can't say so atm- I hope so.
The interesting thing that he said was that the club was still in talks with Johnno about continuing his WAFL career and noted that would be a big plus for the club if that was to happen.

Can someone set up a GoFundMe page? I need the money for the age reversal and growth hormone drugs I need. I reckon that's our best chance of getting a recognised ruckman we've been craving for the last decade and a half. We've only been teased for 2 years in that time with decent sized ruckmen that looked the goods but departed after one year. Those being Warren Carlyle who was a ripper and a couple of years ago Angus Graham built like Tarzan, I won't say played like Jane but certainly was a Jane when he walked out on the club after one year into a 2 or 3 year contract and took another ruckman with him in Stevenson.

Anyone know if Latch is returning?
