Aiden tropiano has come across before the June 30 possibly due to lack of opportunities in sharks midfield! Should bolster our depleted midfield stocks!

I have long been a critic of our recruiting and this is just another "depth" player at best.
Does he make our midfield any better...probably not!
Afterall didnt we for a number of weeks have a 10 point midfielder playing ressies??

We get the leftovers,players that cant cement a league game elsewhere.
Nothing to get enthused about here.

Along with a new coach we need a talent identifier for our local district as well as a new recruiting officer!

Isn't the recruiting done by the Football Department. i.e the coaching staff and the football manager.

If so they should all be looking for new employment...they have all failed miserably in there roles.

Aiden Tropiano has proven to be a good pickup I think. Finds the ball and seems to work hard to make as many contests as possible.

That takes the ledger to 10 for decent recruits however the duds are still a fair way ahead haha.

Just a wishful thought. I wonder if Bevo could give his mate Ryan O'Keefe a call and see if he would like to play for the Demons (Perth) next season.
Let's not die wondering.

Fraser McInnes apparently re-signed by WCE, so won't be seeing him back in 2015. Despite lack of opportunity have heard Simpson glowing in appraisal of Tunbridge, so doubt he will be back any time soon.

On the plus side by the time the two of them eventually come off the WCE list we may have a coach.

Whilst I loved ROK as a player at 33 years of age and with a points value of 12 I don't think he is what we need.

If he was a one point player then by all means sign him up but for me 12 points could be better spent elsewhere.

Haha seems like that doesn't it Baseline.

Heard McInnes as well as Pat McGinnity signed one year contract extensions. Both will come out of contract at the end of 2015. Next year will be break or make for McInnes.

Tunbridge has had limited opportunities but he seems to have impressed Adam Simpson. I think they are surprised with how big his engine is and I remember someone from the Eagles mentioning that he could run through the midfield.

Angus Graham and Shaun McKernan are looking for homes, both talls from memory.....any chance you boys may snaffle them?
