Anybody know much about this Laine Wilkins fella from Peel?

I remember him kicking 4 or 5 goals for the WA 18s against Vic Metro at Etihad about 5 years ago mate but he has hardly had a look in down at FART since they bent over to be Freo's bitch!

Not sure Sacko, he's not on either of the lists yet.

Cheers mate. So you're telling me he's primed to dominate WAFL at league level and become a prominent member of a finals bound team? Well that's what I gleaned from your post anyway

Apparently we've signed him so hopefully he can play

Definitely has the ability to be an elusive forward at WAFL level mate has a penetrating long left foot ...but obviously FART value Freo's rookie listers from over east more than they do local Peel boys!

Has played 29 league games.
Running wingman.
Draft prospect a few years ago - state 18s academy.
Played only 4 last year & 17 reserves
10 - 2014
15 - 2013

Alignment has got in his way?

Cost us points?

Well geez his resume doesn't read that well. One thing we don't need is C graders that can't get a game at Peel. We'll see I guess

The irony is another ex Perth player named Ugle probably took his spot. How's that working out for Ugle?

As always the scratch matches are going to tell us a lot about what the coach has in mind. There has been some significant changes to our spine and seeing where all these recruits fit in will be interesting in particular Cary, Etto, Millar, Mills and the fella from Peel.

I expect Graham, Jones and White will all be round 1 starters however we may not even see them in the lead up games.

Apart from the new blood in the team one guy I am really looking forward to seeing is Liam McKenna. He reminds me a bit like a pendelbury type player.

A lot said here on our back line. I recall someone from the SF thread saying that Mills has played HB from Colts level so be interesting see him too.

Don't be surprised if they play Power and Borrett in the scratchies for Ruck duties as they look to finalise that second ruck position. Both have had glimses of potential but neither are as mobile as Eyres IMO and he will both prob play magoos again this year.
