The club would have known that McDonald and O’Driscoll were going/ more than likely going to be drafted.
Just as they would have known Grey and Fisher were on one season loans.
Surely planning on these loses would have started when the 2020 season begun or at the very least during the season.
They won’t be losses out of the blue.
I have no idea what the deal with Delahunty is.
What I’ve seen of the reserves there’s nothing much there that would go close to replacing those players.

It appears as though Grey and Fisher are staying with us. Delahunty however is returning to Melbourne for family reasons. It appears as if we have also signed an EF tall forward and we may have snagged a very exciting player from EP.

Strnadica?
Bonomelli??
Loersch??

Has to be one of those 3

Handy boost for our reserves. Any news on McInnes?

How can Fisher and Grey be staying with us. They reverted to WCE players at seasons end.
This was my point earlier. All this hype we hear about players staying or coming.

Fisher and Grey staying would depend on WCE deciding to allot their bit players to WAFL clubs instead of having their own team in the WAFL comp with top-up players.
Any tall forward at EF would only be capable of 25 goals a season at best. We need to find a 50 goal player...eg Waterman. We do not need to recruit ressies players.
Any heads up on this exciting player fronm EP ??
I understood that McInnes was a definite stayer.

It won't be Strnadica, he is lined up to be EF number one Ruckman after Griff has retired....Loersch it is I reckon....definitely capable of kicking 50 if fit and interested....hopefully Moss can be that shoulder Loersch needs, unlike Buffalo who didn't tolerate Loersch and his laziness....

Cameron Loersch 25yo 203/99 played 17 league games. Should be a proven league player by now if he ever was going to be. Played 6 ressies games in 2020 season for 7 goals. Buffalo Bill thinks he is lazy according to Freezn. Could he be another Chad Sandilands? It would seem that we won't be able to turn him into a ruckman then. We are renowned for taking average ressies players from EF.
And yet, it is not yet confirmed that he is the one that we have supposedly signed.

Smokester, Loersch more lazy as in reluctant to chase his man or ball out of the forward line. Definitely with ball in hand more then capable of kicking a few....that's if it is even Loersch....could be Teakle or Bonomelli perhaps also...Teakle more of a Ruckman TBH....could be more to Perth's liking.

Loersch was on Gold Coast list- the talent is there. He had a decent year in his first year but hasn't been able to get out on the park. He could definitely be an excellent pick up.
