TOPIC:

30+, most departures were retirements or in cases of Bevan and Morton, going back east. Busher has gone to be with McMahon (mcdud,s love child and not popular with playing group)
PFC is down without doubt but player losses are not altogether the club's doing in all fairness.
As Dogman says, Peel are rotting the player transfer system re the rules concerning the alignment clubs.

Not rorting the system.
They are doing it with the backing of the commission.
EP can't do it.
It stinks.

I think the point is Smokey that if the club was playing finals or on the cusp of a flag these guys would not be leaving in the big numbers that they are/do.
It works the other way as well,attracting top people/players to the club.

I dont know why the other wafl clubs dont get together and threaten action at the free ride Peel are given re-players going there and the overt the top points they are given,refuse to play them!

The clubs will never refuse to play them 30 plus, they need the revenue from the match and a lot of clubs couldn't afford to take the financial hit of a fine if they did boycott.

30+ I agree that some players are looking for success elsewhere and are easily attracted to move for it. That is the legacy of a club that has had no success for 37 years.
In fairness the club is desperately trying to address things and it is not easy to come back from the dead. At least they are trying.
Will Lazarus arise? Only time will tell.

Fair comment 30+. No more excuses I agree. However, as Mr AFL points out not all outs are nessesarily disgruntled players.

There are a few players training with us but there hasn't been any confirmation yet as to whether they have signed. I guess we will have to wait until the new year.

Still hoping for one, possibly two big name signings

There will be zero big name signings
You can take that to the bank
