I suspect there’s no cavalry coming to save us. The tall backman and tall fwd were most likely Michael Hartley and Kaelan Bradtke and they aren’t coming. 

Is he the one we couldn't find accommodation for his kids and dogs?

I hear what you are saying DD. Most likely back to the VFL or, if he stays in Perth, perhaps WEC ressies or Freo.
It just means we have to be smart and do our best in negatiations. He is back on our list along with Sidney Stack. 
Either we get the player or we get the money.

Well I'm sick of hearing we've got a war chest, extra points and salary cap but still coming 4th or 5th in the recruiting stakes and losing more than we gain. Something needs to change and change fast.

Well this statement finally makes sense! Nice one DD 

 Cooper and Harley Sparks from EP have just appeared on our extended list (along with Stack and Narkle). Both have had some league experience. Does anyone know much about them?

Sons of Russell Sparks I believe Satan. I think Harley has chalked up 22 league games and Cooper just a few. Good pedigree.

Is that correct?

I recall being told that the brothers are no relation,and for mine Harley in particular has a touch of class,and an unacceptable loss by my club,who are once again under performing in their pre season recruiting..

Similar to RL I had been told they are no relation to Russell or Kevan.

Thanks RL, we certainly know the feeling losing young promising and established players that you can’t afford to lose. I heard they held out for more money after Carey Park showed interest. They are now on our list so I assume they got what they wanted. 

I just had a good long look at our list. Looking at some positives - it may be a good thing that we have lost so many senior players from last year - even players I rated very highly like Gibba, Fisher and Fraze. A new coach needs to stamp his ideas across the group and have a bunch of players that are excited.

Reckon Baxter Philip, Conor McDonald could be very exciting.

AJ, Jack Avery, McPartland, Nyika John, Oscar Bird, DBW, Marshall Jones, Kristan Cary  and Connor Sing to finally show that they belong every week.

Coniglio, Byrne, Sinclair, Regan Clarke, Matt Tayler, Kieran Hug, Mitchell Brown, Austin Davis to keep doing what they do.

Throw in the new talked about recruits. Get some value out of the recruits we haven't spoken about (Lachlan Paton for example)

Retain an interested Narkle or Stack.

Unearth 2 diamonds in the rough that have been flying under the radar.

And things may be very nice indeed.
