Great news re Joyce, definitely adds some grunt at the contest. Josh Cripps looks another likely too.....yep agree KC, Strnadica back on board would definitely be the icing on the cake recruiting wise....wouldn't mind Harry Marsh either, if he was interested in one last chance to play along side his brother.  

Cheers for that strono, haven't looked at an online budget this year....more interested in when those non local players points begin to decrease. ..after 3 years?

Given the rush of signings, you’d think that’s probably it for a while. Only one that is disappointing is no progress/update on Strnadica. Given that Joyce and Dixon signed straight away, you think Strnadica isn’t likely to play. Hopefully the kid is alright and we see him back at the Sharks at some stage

EF have a good array of talls even without Strnadica KC. Obviously having the young fella back would be the icing on the cake, especially if Goddard has moved on. No further goss re that WP player....perhaps it's the same player Winger says is having tsf difficulties at Perth..... think preseason starts end of Nov, so more news then I guess.

So ex EP player Ben McGuire signs on with EF.....cousin of current EF player Reuben McGuire......mid size player with a bit of zip.....not sure if it was a player swap or tsf fee..

Disappointing to see Goddard is no longer on EF list.....family reasons apparently so playing ammo's next year....big loss as it sounds like Strnadica won't be on board for 2023.....up to a few youngsters to fly the rucking flag in McGuire, Cripps and White....though there is big Ed....maybe Doddy can work his magic again

Certainly is disappointing news about Goddard.  Any news why Strnad won’t suit up?

He has nominated for the AFL draft. Will need to wait and see until after the various drafts.

He might end up back with the dorks.  I read an article where they said they’re after a ruckman in the draft.  Go figure!!

That makes a lot of sense as long as he’s prepared to accept he’ll be insurance when Darcy or Jackson go down. That means he’ll be back in teal and playing against the Sharks. 

My first thought was that Subi had loaded up their truck with brown paper bags, but after Custodian’s comment, you could be right.

Think in today's footy, most midfield set ups can counter any opposition ruck tap dominance.....EF have good quality depth in their midfield, and with the likes of Dixon, Marsh x 2, O'Reilly, Leggett, Montubaun and Simpson up front, EF hopefully won't miss Goddard or Strnadica's presence as much as folk think.....
