Just when I thought my source was doubtful, it's already on the Williamstown website!!!

So far we have lost our best midfielder / goal scorer and ruckman!!!

Good start to 2014!!

time for Myles to step up then Doggie......SF have plenty of fantastic talent waiting to fill the breach mate.....your reserves won a flag and your colts should of done the three peat......I reckon you guys will be fine......

Freeze, take the 2 best players out of any team it will put a big dent into the next year's preparations.

Especially when e are so young already the experience and form that those 2 showed was massive for us. No good signing a few to just replace the ones who go.

Jut went through the SF list from this year. Added up to a total of 106 points only. With the news that Tighe and Banner have gone it brings it down to 86 points used???

Surely that can't be right?? We wouldn't have 44 points to use for recruiting for 2014 would we? Seems like a hell of a lot.

Hams and Wilson (hopefully) are locals so they will be 1 point each and Pullman (if the rumours are correct) would be 5 or 7 I suppose. Going to leave us with 35-37 points to use after these 3 have been added.

Think we need to stay clear of the eastern states recruits due to the extra points involved and that they normally leave anyway and have a go at some good ones from other WAFL clubs that cost between 5 - 7 points and who won't travel over east.

Apart from Miller and Gumby I reckon our next oldest may be Bairstow at 25 yrs old??

And what ever happened to Shadbolt from WP and Selbee Le-Steere from EF / Balmain last year?

Doggie....it's hit and miss with the ES recruits mate....some stay for a good whilte providing top notch service.....EF has been lucky of late with the likes of McGough, Young and Weller, three fantastic servants of the EFFC.....then you have the likes of a Gabriel......who exit as fast as they arrive....

SF have Hams and Wilson back, surely they go a long way to replace Banner and Tighe some what.....Selby Lee Steere is average at best Doggie, good trier nothing more, nothing less....don't see the point in SF recruiting honest types like Pullman, Monaco, Bewick, Shadbolt etc.....some of SFFC youngsters should be given a go before the club starts looking at other WAFL players......madness if you ask me......yeah if it's a Johnson or a Smith than recruit.......but giving the likes of a Lee Steere a look in before one of your colts/reserves boys is crazy if you ask me.....

still early days mate, no doubt Hase has something under his sleeve

I see we have added young Verrier to our club list already as he was recently cut from Richmond.

Hope we have some more floating around.

For sure doggy...like a ruckman, a few gun mids & perhaps a key backman...???

geez you guys have Bolger......Johnson, Main and Sokol......and Vandeleur up back.....not too sure why you need to recruit?

Unfortunately Freeze as you well know they will be drafted. hard to play at SF then.

We need a ruckman as our first priority. If Bolger is good enough he would have played the last few years. If he wants to play league footy then its all there for him again.

1 good mid would be nice and a key backman. We have enough depth and youngsters but need some class. Hams, Wilson and Pullman will be great a ruckman, mid and a backman and lose no one else!!!
