See the club is talking to Michael Johnson,great news imo and if he’s not up to playing(his body that is)then a coaching role could be on the cards.
In the same article it looks like Simon Tunbridge after a year off could be ready to go with us next season.

Subiaco will talk to him last.

Good news 30+. We must work hard to make ensure that Johnno comes back to our club in some capacity be it in a player/coaching role or just as a coach.
After a year off and away from the pressures of the AFL system Simon Tunbridge may be able to get his body right for WAFL footy. He has always been injury prone but if he is willing to give it a try then we should all get behind him and support him. .

I'm not sure he'd push anyone aside in Subi's backline astro considering the likes of Lockyer, Litherland, Heal, Kennedy, Greg Clark, Jacob Miller are all still relatively young.

Thought Johnno was off to Gosnells?....Surely Freo will find a niche for him in their NGA set up....

Freezin, they are all jumping ship down Freo way...why would any want to stay involved? Lachie Neale doesn't.

Tendai happy there mate with NGA kids and playing A grade at Trinity........but hey a fit Johnno would be a great get for you boys...as well Tunbridge too....though the key factor here would be fitness for both I reckon.....

Yep a big ? re Tunbridge but if he can get his body up to scratch and he really wants to test the waters then all strength to him.
There must also be a big ? on Johnson playing again. I believe that his role, should he accept it, would be on the coaching staff but if we could convince him to give us one season on field also then well and good.
Lot of water to flow under the bridge yet.

Firstly i would prefer to see Johnson back at Perth where he originally came from, but also believe Subi would not pursue a 34 ? year old player unless it was someone like Gary Abblett! I believe we have a policy in place regarding the profile of recruits.
