TOPIC:

OTO I guess the difference between Hille and the others is that Hille played 19 leagu games for EP last year, the others did they play any?....all of them are fringe from the sounds of things....though Dent who went to SF seems to be rated by Grump, which is good sign. Can't blame EP playing hard ball with Hill.....I see Payne went to SD for 10K......

one time only wrote: Sorry to hijack the EF thread for a moment, but just following up on Freez's post

East Perth will have a core group of about 12 players to take up spots not filled by West Coast players this season. If Hille knuckles down, he should be one of those.

But you have to initially wonder about his mindset, considering the Club have already cleared 6 players to other WAFL Clubs this season..

He was seriously 'pissed' as were a lot of other players, supporters last year when in the last game he was dropped and some muppet like Lamb other another got a game in his place. I have known him for quite sometime and he is an outstanding young man not just for his football but the other stuff. He was at training yesterday and played in the scratch match, did enough to suggest his heart is at the club. It is the issue for the club and players and has been made more annoying by the weagles controlling the whole selection process, no EP representation at the table. i am sorry this is on the EF thread but was started by another!

Despite the injuries we did finish last season a 10 goal better side than Swans.

Means jack shit the last game of the qualifying last year, how did you fair the week after? We won a 1st semi the next week while your mob were overdosing on Mothballs yet again

Au contraire the game meant plenty - that semi final spot you are so proud of was nearly squandered and I get to say we finished the season a 10 goal better side.

I notice Sam Read is now donning the number 99 jumper on EF website. . Usually a sign that an individual is on the list but not on the list....not a huge loss TBH....a steady defender at best .... hopefully youngsters in Scott and Bailey can step into the void.....
