So it appears Stack is not coming back to the club. Frankly, I'm happier taking the transfer fee, and I'd be happier still if there was any sign the club was planning on spending money on recruits. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but I note Stack's manager is Peos. He represented Leggett, and made comments which were critical of PFC during that saga, as well as running a breach of contract claim so ludicrous its hard to believe he is an accredited manager. But he also managed English. So three Peos managed Perth players have wound up at rival clubs. We have enough problems to contend with without a manager who seemingly doesn't respect the club steering players away from us. That said, of course, we can hardly claim to have earned the respect of Peos or anyone else. 

You just beat me to it Ted. As soon as I heard Stack’s manager was that dog Peos I knew we had no chance.
However I don’t think Stack will be a significant miss. I can’t see Stack committing to WAFL training and playing. These blokes are great playing AFL but they tend to lose their drive when the pay packet shrinks.
 

If there is a clear trend here that Peos is deliberately steering players away from our club then there needs to be an investigation by the WAFC or in fact the AFL as I imagine they are bound by a code of conduct.

Any deliberate ploy to steer players towards or away from certain clubs would be totally unprofessional and surely in breach of a player managers professional obligations.

Would of thought Peos has PFC best interest at heart by actually steering Stack well clear of Perth then.......

Perth have to get Stack back. Free hit really and a 1 point player. German and Priddis will get the best out of him

Our returning AFL players those few that have returned have been a disappointment for mine.
I would love Stack back at Lathlain but the success of it would have huge question mark over it.
I am shitty that English went elsewhere.
He has proved a very valuable WAFL player.

Seems Mundy may not being playing in the WAFL.
if he is coming to Perth it must be in an off field role.
Suggestion has been made that the tall forward, tall back and a ruckman have been signed.
Interesting to see what develops here.

Any 1 point player of that talent is worth going hard for.  Imagine Stack and English running though our midfiled with Clarke and Byrna.  I get Stack might bring trouble but at 1 point its worth the risk for 1 season.  Ainsworth didn't last long either and probably cost us a lot more. 

Brady Grey is the new Indigenous Player Liaison and Development Coach at Fremantle.

Not sure what his workload would be like but hopefully the club can sit down and have a catch-up with him and see if he is open to or his work schedule would allow him to play WAFL football in 2023.

I heard that two assistant coaches have walked out. Apparently Germans old fashion coaching style didn't hit home with them and they walked out.
