Had a few come over and learn what it's like to taste success and not endure butt hurt for their whole careers - Spalding x 2, Steve Lally and Ian Newman spring to mind...and of course a couple of others who crossed over and played in finals and grand finals in Allard and Moir.

And how could I forget big Bryce Forman

What about big Guy Baxter Oooll?
If not League finals, most certainly in the curtain raiser!

Would have no doubt have tasted some finals footy - pretty handy ruckman in the old Sunday League days.

The Spalding's played junior footy in the East Freo zone so could of saved themselves the grief of playing at Perth. John Lawrence and later Ben Cousins were 2 they got away from Perth wisely choosing to play at the blue and whites. Lawrence went on to play in a league premiership and most certainly benefited from the decision to go to the stronger club.

Doddy was on SportsFM yesterday talking about Tucker and what we’re looking for- midfielders. Where do Leggett and Tropiano play, DD?

Cheers for that KC.....as Doddy said....lot of clubs talking to players at this time of the year...obviously very much a wait and see what happens over the coming weeks...one signing under the belt with Tucker....fitting a need for defensive height, good to hear also that Loersch is up and running post back injury, on song, he could kick a fair few in the WAFL, just needs a good run of games...tho the delivery at times leaves a lot to be desired, thus the need for some quality mids to deliver the footy to the likes of Loersch and Strnadica up front is a no brainer then.

no news on Paparone tho, I reckon he would be a very big in being able to play up front or up back.....one would think if able and available a few whispers about Paparone playing would be out there....midfielders it is in then....I wonder which ones Doddy had in mind??

There's rumours Daniel Leach is leaving Subi for EP Freez...he's a very good player but struggled to get a permanent gig in Subi's strong midfield....EF could do worse than to hit him up if he hasn't signed anywhere else imo.

He is a Brigades product as well BC from the GNFL.....not sure he is overly interested in playing for EF....hasn't been so far mate...

That could change if he wants to play more league footy although I just had a look on Subi's website at their senior playing list and he's not on there so could have moved on already.
