I heard Jack Fletcher has moved over to Subi. Didn't play a game last season for us due to injury.

Rock: thanks -- hopefully the blue and whites and subi will have recruitted handy players.

what power fwds will he be stopping....if anything they will all train & play harder to get into league
with the lack of talls we have we are not going to knock back this kid as a fwd/ruck

Hey strono, did you actually read my post or did I word it badly? There was one or two positive articles written about him since he was picked up, so as I said, he would be handy, didn't suggest we knock him back. As for the power forwards, it was simply a question as you and some others are a lot more informed about our players than me.

Freeze, suggest you read my response to strono. I think the boy will be ok as I read a couple of articles about him in the past. As for the power forwards, don't hang me for asking questions mate.

South through and through, still have red and white in your veins, but not a great deal of interest in the wafl now days
We would interpret that as not south through and through and not red and white running through your veins much anymore anchor

He will be handy for the Sharks lets hope his few years in the AFL system has given him better insight into the requirements of being a consistent professional footballer. Work ethic and dedication were always the achilles heal for the big fella.
I think he was a part of swap arrangement with the Thunder with another junior at the time and found his way to the bulldogs via that arrangement. Good luck to him

Too time moves on.Once upon a time barracked and played for Mines Rovers Football club in the Goldfields Football league.I still barrack for them.But when moving to Perth I was a Souths supporter.Was for many many years before my brother played for them and many years before I made the move to the big smoke.
Fremantle came along and I moved on.Still love my Blue and White Diorites, Mines Rovers FC on the Goldfields.I still love my South Fremantle FC,but have moved on.
Yep I have moved on, unlike so many here.

Are you suggesting we all should move on and gravitate towards an AFL team anchor? You may see me as old fashioned, but while I'm a rabid WCE supporter, they will NEVER take the #1 mantle over the Sharks in my life.

Looking forward to see what young Loersch and our new recruits bring to the club.
