Started with Perth. Ex Queens Park boy. I thought he went to East Perth ???

surely Brian Peake must be up there.....Sandover Medallist, All Australian, multiple Premiership player.....don't think Perth have had many of those in the past 30 odd years .......Peter Stennett.......Kirk Herbele, Michael Saunders.....all quality players who sweated red and black for the PFC cause in the last 10 - 15 yrs......

In all honesty Mick Rea was Perths number one recruit in my eyes.....big fella who tried his guts out for the club, always double teamed, yet still kicked a shed load of goals, even though the delivery was crap at times!

I agree Freezin. Big "Stinger" probably was one of our best recruits. In my original post my footnote was E & OE and my big error was to leave Mick out.

Bomber Peake didn't play a lot of games for us at the very end of his distinguished career. He came over to us to knotch up his 400th game.

Michael Saunders was a very serviceable player for us and a role model for younger players. He has since continued to serve the club in several coaching roles.

Always used to loved Rea's falling marks in the goal square.....used to think 'how does that fat b'stard do it'.....good character at the time......tongue in cheek re: Bomber and the EF boys.....reckon EF have scored more quality recruits from the PFC than the other way round over the past few decades.....

I have to agree with you again Freezin - frightening stuff, eh?

IMHO,Gibelini was the best recruit we got from EF. We gave EF "Boondy" Allard, and the Spalding brothers. Can't recall off hand any others except a tall ruckman whose name escapes me ATM.

Stinger could always use his weight to great advantage. His timing was perfect and he would appear to be falling but would always be at the fall of the ball.

Another bad omission of mine was Dean Herbert (ex Richmond?) a premiership player for us in 1976.

Bomber should have been a Perth player. Played all his junior football at Manning JFC with the likes of Wiley and Spencer but went to EF under father and son rule. Spencer of course went to EP likewise.

Tall lanky PREMIERSHIP player Ian Newman!

Surely you cant compare the quality of- Robbie Hooker, Roger Kerr, Todd Jenkins, Matt Congleton, Conrad Chambers, Michael Saunders, Geoff Wilson, Matt Kennewell, Paul Lenaghan, Chris Maguire, Julian Burgess, Nathan Elari, Darren Capewell, Brian Peake (aged 38) & Bruce Tschirpig that P have snaffled off EF with the likes of- Earl Spalding, Scott Spalding, Steven Lally, Ian Newman, Glen Moir, Jeff Moore, Wayne Allard, Bryce Forman, Guy Baxter, Shane Stiles, Murray Couper et al freeze!!

others from Swans to Perth - Fruity Renfree, Mick Hastie, Greg Frost.
pretty sure Barry Kimberley was swapped for Ross Fitzgerald after the 82 flag, little Barney Rubble then went on to win 2 flags and a Simpson in one of those GF's...Fitzy did come back to Swans at the end of his career..
Renfree played in a flag in 84 and then went to Perth not long after..

Fruity Renfree went to P in 1990 MO thus meaning he missed a second flag with the Mighty Black Ducks ..tho he broke his leg in 89 and probably never played his best footy there after!
