no name change, She knows her stuff.

Throw in Arthur Bennell, Ryan Maldenis and Rowan Brookes also.

Go and watch some C or D grade you will find players with more ability than some of these reserves. At WAFL level nowadays if your willing to do the training you can play reserves with only average football ability. At what point did I say we could cover these losses please don't invent debating points out of thin air. Or like Peter North post with no purpose.

As far as what is happening above the colts - Lets discuss the exodus you allege has not occurred.
Shaq McKenzie, Mitch Howlett, Brock Higgins, Jacob Payne, Brett Dobson, Blake Borrett, Jackson Slater, Chris Warrell, Marcus White, Luke Sampey, Dan Perkins, Brandon Hughes, Tyson Rudd, Steve Wityk, Matt Kelly, Trent Bradshaw, Dean Cadwalladder, Aaron Sweet, Mat Seal, Blayne Wilson, Ash Boyes,

I see way beyond colts and I think I no a little more abt the players than your post suggests you do, Wilson is NOT an EP player and Marcus white was a VFL recruit whilst Rudd came from somewhere else.

Apart from Seal, Sweet, Dobson and Cadwalladder the rest are not what you would call league players and some were at best good ressies players.

Mckenzie, warrell, Borrett and kelly left last year and Sampey left 3 years ago.

At least get the mass exodus right, as for Howlett the last I heard as that he is back at training so there is another error.

My view of EP does not start and end at colts level, my view starts at development and then follows the players through to their career no matter what they decide and if that means they leave then sobeit but at least I know what is happening and not just making up rubbish.

Informed and balanced thoughts as usual Grump.

BH the question is, is the number anymore or less than other years or clubs. In my opinion the number is not any greater than other years when our recruiting grounds was on the other side of the nullabor

It is all very interesting reading the list of players East Perth have lost over the past two or three years.

It would be just as interesting reading about the players that the other Clubs have lost over the same period and compiled by the same people that delight in telling us about East Perth losses. In particular West Perth and Swan Districts.

i couldnt care less who goes or stays at east Perth, just think its not good for the comp when you want clearance fees for reserves players who cant get a league game like Wityk

Spot on Mark.
The system is a joke and they are allowing Peel to actively recruit.
They make it up as they go a long.
No wonder the punters are unhappy.
