TOPIC:

Jansen back which is handy but not A grade. We need to be getting all ex-Sharks. Can't see Sandi or Taylor wasting their time with WAFL to be honest. Palmer may be a chance.

No chance Marsh gets drafted.

Sandi and Taylor are good characters who know their roots...doesn't or didn't Sandi help out EF rucks from time to time?....reckon Taylor could even be EF next coach after Wiley.....

Marsh was no A grader nor Eardley either....could easily see Jansen be just as effective....be handy having Jansen and Marsh through EF midfield both 192 cm big bodied mids....just need to find some outside pace to complement them and Eardleys inside grunt....like Tim em Marsh doesn't look overly AFL motivated....plus his kicking was always AFL suspect.

Agree with KCEF, Sandi won't be interested, but Harry may be coaxed into the club. The only problem I see with our upcoming colts and ex AFL players is that Subi may be out shopping and we won't be able to match their offers.

The signing of Jansen is a positive start recruiting wise. Let's hope that there are several more to come.

I see fraser perry has returned to the club
also big jimmy bristow I believe is back

Puppy good to have you posting again mate.....Dillon O'Reilly an out?...not sure about that one mate....the kid whilst colts eligible next year will play league next year before getting drsfted for sure.....Lester-Smith?.....did an ACL didn't he this year?....is he an out because of a delayed start for next year...or has he retired?.....pity about Adamini if he is an out too.....

58....looks like you were spot about Palmer....thought he was older....at 28 his experience could be handy.....

Thanks Freeze.

Actually you are right, I have not analyzed the colts list. There are several players listed as colts that should not be on my list. I have updated my list to remove those players who are still colts with EFFC:

I hope that Lester-smith has not retired. Maybe he will miss a year like Ellis or less hopefully I just noticed that he was not listed as a player for us at present. I also think losing Adamini is a blow. EF have 66 senior players listed on their website at present. They will probably reduce this down by 5 or 6 to finalise the list.

I thought Jonathan Griffen was going to play for the Sharks next year?

I have been hoping to see confirmation of that DD, but have seen none yet. Hopefully it does happen soon.
