TOPIC:

on the EF facebook page, someone asked the same question re: Cripps for 2013....the club replied Cripps would be with EF for 2013.

Simpson and Paparone are definite draftees I reckon....Duffy and Symonds could be late picks, whilst Henson, Howson, Marsh and Byron-Pendergast rookies.

Yeah another Ruck, CHF and CHB are the go in 2013 for EF.....though I have hopes with Weller retiring and perhaps Brown getting more AFL time that Chalwell and Matty Jupp will step up in 2013....up front EF will be hoping Monaco pulls his finger out and Perham carries on from his 33 goal effort in 2012 up front.....but I guess if Gabriel steps up after his so so 1st year of playing on WAFL grounds, perhaps Young could play FF on a permanent basis.

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?

Dictators don't ask permission BH!!

From the sounds of things Simpson and Duffy stay in EF colours, when not wearing Freo's colours, in 2013.....With the likes of ROB, Hadley, McGough, Henson, Tropiano and Boyle as EF in/under mids, it will be good to have an outsider flashy type like Simpson to carry the footy and provide some midfield spark in 2013....be interested to see if Duffy gets some midfield action too.

Would of reckon Marsh would of gone close to league in 2013, good luck to the kid in 2013....alas Beasley/27, like me, is gutted Paps has gone to Brisbane....no longer can I quote Paps in my 2013 match reports....sorry 27!!!

Rookie wise the likes of Henson, Byron-Pendergast, Symonds and Howson could be in the rookie firing line.....would be handy if Howson stayed at EF.....tall goalkicking forward EF could need in 2013... to go with the likes of a Monaco, Perham and probably Young...though I do think EF should invest that 130+K from the drafts on a tall defender/tall forward and another ruckman ( esp. if Pendergast and Symonds go). Would love for EF to go after Cl Andrew Ruck, but I hear SF are in the box seat to claim another player from their affiliation with Claremont footy club....Peel/Freo, EP/WCE and SF/CFC!!

So Howson gets rookied by Freo.....no doubt he will be EF tall forward 'recruit'
for 2013.....I reckon Howson would provide more up front than what Monaco would any way....though a lot to ask for a colts player to step up and kick 40 odd in his first year of league footy.....

antoni grover is on the sharks radar.....watch this space

Bradd Dalziel doesnt even want to think about the prospect, and i would think no players anywhere in the comp would be happy about all this

Not in $ubis plans obviously?

monaco to sf
yeo to subi
fasola wont play with another wafl club...still overseas
schofield training at the sharks....just to squash any rumours he is going elswhere
gabriel back in victoria

Training somewhere doesnt necesarily mean they wouldnt go anywhere else, but a handy get if you do get him

So this is where everybody is hiding. Nice. I quite like it. Strono, do you know if Scott Hancock is backing up again? I thought he showed some promise in the ressies towards the end of last season.
