That makes him very lazy Freez.
Teakle 21yo 202/86 untried at league level

Think that may of been the reason why Buffalo persisted with Bailey up forward instead of playing Loersch...Bailey a bit more mobile once the ball came to ground....

Teakle has played two league games mate and Essendon invited him over at the start of 2020 pre-season for a trial...played v WCE in a scratch match....found it hard behind Griff the skipper to get a league berth rucking wise....

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.

Vozzo arrogantly stated on ABC radio a week or so back that spreading their players around the WAFL clubs is not an option. They either have their own team or it’s a host club scenario again. His words not mine. Therefore if they have their own team we won’t be getting Grey or Fisher. If they want a host club then the only way we will get those 2 is if we aren’t the host club. The host club will be for their list players not top up players.

I can't see our Football Brains Trust letting Teakle go easily. My money would be on Loersch or Bonomelli and i doubt Perth would want Bonomelli- a young developing tall. Wonder if it was for $$ or player swap- we'll take Sinclair

Don't start that again KC. You have no chance with Sinclair. There will be no player swap.
Teakle from Northampton.. that changes things. He should have the football genes but EF don't give away Northampton boys often.

I'd say a ruck would be one of either the EP or EF recruits, since this is a weakness of on our list (not suggesting there are not others). Which means if the EF recruit is a forward....

Yep EP had a lot of tall timber, hope it's either Amos or Hooper not Ganga Jang or the other skinny one.

Loersch.....

Correct. According to the article we are also looking into Josh Smith (WCE) and Ajang Ajang (EP)
thewest.com.au/sport/perth-football-club...eason-ng-b881712437z

So, we have some new names reportably to add to our list and keeping within the points cap.
Cameron Loersch (EF)
Ajang Ajang (EP)
Josh Smith (ex WCE)
Jye Clark & Corey Hitchcock (C)
Luke English (Returns)

We wanted a tall forward - tick
We wanted a ruckman - tick
We wanted another midfielder - 2 ticks
Have we addressed our most urgent needs? Perhaps only time will tell.
