Agree SS , I think Harris will make a big difference down at tiger land and they don't need to improve a lot to be in the top three teams next year.

If Darren Harris can fix Claremont's close losses into wins, even if he only improves them by 50%, the Tigers will play finals in 2017.

Very early days considering we haven't actually recruited anybody yet. I hear afl clubs are very interested in de boer and silvagni, also litherland, we may lose Bolton and big Darcy Cameron in the draft, Mitchell is a big uncertainty, so it's hard to get an idea of what sort of a side we'll have next year at this stage.
So do East Perth have to pay us a clearance fee for compensation pick Mcginnity?

Darcy Cameron will be drafted.. That's for sure.

One thing is for certain after finishing 5th. 5th and 7th under Broadbridge, Claremont have to improve under Harris, when a close game is up for grabs, some current players on the list went missing, so I will be watching to see how Claremont improves in that area.

I reckon if Broadbridge and McMahon couldn't do it Harris will battle too.

Did you even see any tiger games last year veteran? Fact of the matter is with what Claremont had on their playing list, they should have played finals in 2015 and 2016

That's what I mean.
Think about it now.

Tigers kick off their 2017 pre:season on 14/11/2016 with a 2km time trial, word is that Harris has said if your under done don't turn up!!

Welcome back Tom Lee

Has that been confirmed?
