Ted, we will have to agree to disagree. IMO Gibba was cooked and had little impact, same with McInnes. Fisher had less impact than he had in previous seasons, Chopper was slow to get going when he first came into the team but was a good onfield leader as the season went on. Bush was a good player and was missed when he did not play. Ainsworth an accumulator, yes, but his little chip shots usually set his team mates up further down the field. Not a good disposer of the ball.
Nicho is the big loss. He made the WAFL team of the year as CHB.,
We have to believe some of the younger players who got experience last season will step up further in 2023...Perkusich, McPartland, Quartermaine, Sing, Philip, etc

Looks like a pretty good pick up. Numbers at Coburg are solid without being outstanding, and seems to hit the scoreboard a bit which we need from our midfield. 

The West says Ewing from Peel to Perth for Brady Gray

Ewing seems to be a modestly performed fringe player, so hopefully it means Ewing plus a pile of cash for Grey. 

Charlie Thompson looks a good pick-up. Watched his highlights and he appears to be very pacy and looks to like being first to the ball and has good ball skills. A good size and hopefully will kick some goals too. Welcome to the club Charlie.
Have to wait and see with Ewing. Obviously, he battles for league games at Peel. Played 26 league games so probably no cash involved.
We have not had much luck in the past with ex-Peel players.

Agree Smokey he looks just what we need. Things are starting to head in the right direction but still a long way to go. Lathlain redevelopment has also been given the go ahead I see.

It appears it won't start until the end of next season and then 2 years to complete construction.
Sad, but the old grandstand will be going. Way past it's use by date.
Looking forward to seeing some plans.

I have heard many times about the Grand Stand DD. Where is the intel from this time? Where do we get to see some architectural plans and costing estimates - which determine the build?
