IMHO !!!
E&OE

Geez I bet Gus Seebeck , Mick Rea , even the late Chris Stasinowsky , Neil Fotheringhame , John McGuire etc would be miffed smoke

Yep, Mick Rea was a great recruit. Last Perth player to kick a lazy 100 goals in a season. Perhaps he could have got the gig in place of Cooper.

Gus Seebeck won a Sandover but jumped ship back to Souths the next year.

John McGuire played most of his games at EP. He didn't play many for Perth.

Stasa was good at his mecurial best.

Fothers was a good player also but IMO hard to fit into my top 10.

Who would you have left out of my original list.

I thought Fotheringhame started at Perth before moving to West Perth & then Subi??
Ross Fitzgerald & Drew Cornelious were good players for Perth from my mob.
Mark Washfold, John Gavranich from WP were good
Lindsay Kanther would have been a good recruit from Claremont if he didnt do his knee early on but also Peter O'Connoll, Kevin Worthington & the Farmer boys were handy from Tigerland!

No Beas - Neil Fotheringhame was from West Perth

Good question Smoke - maybe I'm just topping it up to the best dozen or so


Edit: I just remembered the other guy from Richmond - Darryl Freame

No Southerner
Neil Fotheringhame's career-
P- 1975-79
WP- 1980-83
S- 1984-85

well there ya go .... memory is a funny thing .... I stand corrected Beas cheers

BH, I think that Lindsay Kanther's knees were f**k*d before he came to Perth and he did not play any games for us.

You are right. John Gavranich and Drew Cornelius were great stalwarts for PFC. Perhaps I should have started this thread as the Best 20 Recruits. If I made it over 50 years I would have had to include Mal Atwell.

Yes, Fothers started at Perth before going to WP and S.

A couple of other recruits who did well for us were Ross Prunster (ex WP) and Stephen Mount (ex Richmond and SF)

The Farmer boys were very handy. Would Mal Brown, David Glascott, Wayne Blackwell, Tom Mullooly and Alan Joyce have qualified as recruits???

Only if you were looking for candidates for the worst recruits. Alan Joyce and Tom Mullooly would be 1 and 2 on that list.

Adrian Barich wasn't a bad recruit worthy of top 20.
