A great pick up for us! Will have a big impact.
Pretty much a straight swap for latch as wolfey has played for High Wycombe,Swan Ath and NorthamFederals recently.

Where's Turtle gone with the news on this gun ex afl player who has more medals than 2 xflags and a norm smith. He must have won a brownlow and Coleman too. Can't wait to hear who it is or may have been.

I am wondering the same thing Mad Dog.

Is Joel Houghton expected to slot into our backline with Amesy and Homer?

He could do but I reckon he will play up forward and pinch hit in the ruck. It will either be him or Notte doing that role unless we get a genuine ruck from somewhere. They are good swing men.
Tall forwards Cary,Geapen,Houghton and tall backs Ames,Notte,Simpson.

Who is better Latch or Houghton?.......Houghton was very average at Perth don't you think?....He will be lucky to crack a top 22 spot for you guys.....reckon Nelson Ansey would be a better bet for you guys!

Ansey is very raw, a mile off league at this stage.

Swans need another forward, Perth need a backman, both are ok wafl players at best, good luck to both players and hopefully its a win win

You are right Freezin. Houghton has been an average yet perhaps underperforming player at Perth. He may be able to step up and breakout in a new environment. Good luck to him.
Latch, I know little about. It seems that he is a good size 196/90 and played 16 games for Swans last year. In a side that made the four he must have shown some promise.
I believe that he has a basketball background and only been playing Aussie Rules for 3 or 4 years and is known to Earl Spalding. Perhaps he, like Houghton, has some upside and the swap will be a win/win situation. Time will tell for both players.

So is it confirmed that robbo is making a return. Also heard the graham jetta still hasnt commited to next season.
