No idea, only know what happened with Boeky.
So Sharks paid Boekhurst up front but not Palmer ?

Considering Palmer didn't show to a meeting when arranged with EF, took ages to come to a decision, don't blame EF thinking twice.... surprised SD are happy to pay Palmer very good coin even though EF was his apparent first preference....but hey Boekhurst is at EF, Palmer is at SD...both good gets and hopefully offer their respective new homes good service.....

EF do lack leg speed so Boekhorst is a key signing....with hopefully LA fit, Jansen and Snadden on board midfield wise Palmer isn't a priority. Up front hopefully a fit Hampson, BOB and Kommer along with a keen Fletcher, Palmer not coming won't hamper EF goalkicking up front small forward wise.

Who else at the club has some zip? Also who thinks Chris Scott could slot in up back after a fantastic colts season last year and sadly missing an AFL drafting gig? At 193/4 cm Scott does look promising....also Lachlan Bailey is of a similar staure....still lack that beast controlling tall defender though to counter the likes of a Keitel, Maister, Shaw etc from opposition clubs.

Not sure if Hampson is still at EF and Palmer had other reasons attached to him why EF didn't sign him.

Haven't heard other wise re Hampson Dogman....be a strange move for Hampson to leave considering the recruiting depth wise EF have done over the summer....BOB apparently is back and training well according to Ti Em. As for Palmer, I guess every player comes with baggage, be interesting to see what Palmer brings to the table for SD as it is what Boekhorst can do at EF...at 24 compared to Palmer being 29....all I know is that EF need Boekhorst's outside run more so than Palmer's experience....got enough wise heads in EF squad already....LA, Macca, Eardley, BOB etc

if he isnt at ef dogman where might of Hampson gone?

as for palmer I reckon wiley could answer the reasons why & I am glad we didn't then

Hampson is very exited to help the group we have win a flag and is going nowhere.

Great to hear Rock re Hampson... hopefully his hammies can be eased by less midfield time with Jansen on board, LA back fit and the likes of Holmes, Bennett, Harding and Burton coming through... hopefully Hampson can kick some goals up front this season....BOB maybe used forward up front....good to have options on game day.....tho with Hampson and BOB injury history of late...one can only wait and see I guess....
