I wonder if we have tested the waters there? At 198/92 and age 28 Andrews could be what we are looking for to lead our ruck. Would add experience.

Smokey i think it has been finalised,his photo is already up on there website.

Didnt someone post on here earlier that we tried to get a player or 2 in return but Claremont said get stuffed or offered us duds so it was settled as clearance fee only??
Does ring true though i reckon other clubs would treat us like idiots when it comes to players in and out of our club
When was the last time we played hardball with a player wanting out?

Club newsletter out today... Ugle cleared to Peel and three Peel players now listed with Perth.

Toby Gianotti 24 small defender 30 league games and 3rd in Peel F & B in 2012. 5 pts

Liam McKenna 22 State 18s 2010 3 pts

Kelvin Lawrence 22 17 league games. Rookie listed by Melbourne 2010, 3 pts.

Perhaps they each have had limited opportunities at Peel due to alignment with Freo.
Only time will tell whether they are ressies players or can step up to league.

Cost us total of 11 points. Interesting that Ugle only cost Peel 3 points ?????

That's bullshit.
Ugle is an ex AFL player - out of zone recruit.
I would have thought at least 10 points.
Commission making up rules again.
It stinks.

What happened to the ex AFL listed player supposed to come our way.

The world is taking the mickey out of PFC surely.

Sheer utter incompetence.

Ugle was ok last year, no world beater, these guys seem similar, so id say its fair.

Ugle for his age and a first year player was pretty good i thought.
The upside is that was his first year and he will only get better and it wont be with us.

Make no mistake these 3 players from Peel will be plodders.
Like do we need a small defender...nope!
State 18s rep that was bloody 5 years ago what has he done since!!

This club of ours is spiralling out of control,its on the road to nowhere!
If your over 6 foot you are not welcome at this club!


I think its time re-Ugle that the other wafl clubs grow some balls and tell the commission that it wont be tolerated any longer the unfair advantages in attemps to get this failure of a club a flag!!
Refuse to play them!!

That's a joke that he is worth only 3 points. Should be 10. He has played AFL. Remember Sibosado was 10. Bloody joke.

Lawrence spent a year at Melbourne.

Also I think McKenna will be a good pickup. Read the article and he tested pretty well at the draft camp. Seems like tue last two years he has had limited opportunities at Peel. He had 28 possessions in a game last year and then got dropped.

The AFL listed player was Kelvin Lawrence. Spent 2011 and 2012 at Melbourne.

That deal smacks of incompetence.
Our first need as a club is a football department that knows what it is doing.
The last big thing recruit from Peel did real well didn't he?
Where is David Johnston now?
As 30 plus says these will be plodders.
A season of Reserves football out of them.
