I see Cooyou has been delisted by GWS.....didn't understand his drafting in the first place, but another small forward to go with an ever growing list of them will no doubt help EF depth.....that's if he doesn't jack it in and headback to Gero.

Or follow his ol mate Kyanga to the West Coast Royal Eagles freeze!! But with the WCE takeover down at Medibank you might get him & Tyson Rudd back!!

Kyanga stopped playing at EP towards the end of the season. Where he is now who knows.

Gee better get in and get that Flag in 2013 guys as 2014 a lot will change.
Adam Kelly and the EFFC are not happy as it will effect their club. And so they should be as they have provided more AFL players to the AFL than any other club.

Beaten 2012 grand finalists East Fremantle are concerned at being significantly weakened when their AFL-listed players join East Perth and Peel from 2014.

But Claremont, while concerned about the process followed to strike the deals, are confident of maintaining a strong WAFL presence without theirs.

Chief executive Adam Kelly said the Sharks, who had 16 AFL-listed players in 2012, were concerned at how they might cope without them.

"To lose that tie is really disappointing," Kelly said.

"I think we had something like eight (AFL-listed players) on grand final day and there's no doubt whatsoever it will have an impact on our ability to be as competitive as we would have been if we stayed under the current arrangement.

"It's just disappointing to think that these guys, some who we see on an infrequent basis and others on a regular basis, will have that association broken.

"They have been terrific for East Fremantle, it's something we really appreciate and I know our members really appreciate the service they give the club.

whilst I can see Kelly's concern Cardy, I reckon EF won't be as hard done by in 2014 as many people think....I'd be more worried if EF reserves or colts were useless.....EF had pretty good depth this year and TBH this WCE/FREO happening hopefully will keep those unlucky EF fringe guys at the club now.....

but from the sounds of things only Sutcliffe and this years draftees from EF to WCE/FREO will go over anyway....not the likes of Menagola or Dick...I may be wrong though?....Dalziell and Brown will still probably struggle to play AFL unless injuries arise....Brennan and Griffen only played 6 WAFL games for EF anyway and probably even less in 2013.

Be interested to see who EF lose from the league side this year to the draft....Duffy, Symonds and Henson maybe.....already 35K in the bank from Johanninsen upgrade at the WBD....plus Simpson, Howson and Paparone from the draft more than likely....a possible 140K to go out an attract a key forward, ruckman and key defender perhaps....

Yep he is his brother and i bet Malaxos wont be showing him the door if he rocks up for training! Quality players will at a premium from now on

Any of you EF boys been able to talk to the players about the host club farce? What are they saying about it? Are any of them pissed off and not looking forward to playing against their (ex) team mates? What's the feeling at the club?

I can tell you shark that none of those AFL listed boys want to play at either the West Coast Royals or Fremantle Thunder! I wonder if Nisbett or Rosich have actually asked any of the players their thoughts?

Spot on BH the boys are spewing as is the club.

I think we'll definitely lose Duffy, Symonds and Paparone in the draft and then there's are few others like Henson, Howson & Simpson that are a chance as well.

Will need to find a ruck and CHF for next season.

Can someone confirm that we will have Cripps at EF for next season, or does he go straight to EP?

Straight to EP rock.
