I agree, they have as much if not more talent on their list and should not need to rookie list 30+ yo players.

West Coast picked up another 34 year old in Petrie , they are being sponsored by an aged care home!!!

How on earth a 316 game player be called a rookie is beyond a joke!

Who's going to turn down @250K a year to play Footy. I imagine that is what he will be on

Dont know how true this is but if GWS throw him a lifeline i reckon he'd take it.

Far be it for me to complain but he wouldn't leave Perth if he didn't wish to. Or is he being forced to leave? If he wants to leave, obviously thumbing his nose at Perth footy club and the Wafl. I think the media call playing in the Wafl as 'being banished', and make it sound like a punishment, to use their terminology.
Jus sayin'

Fucken hell you must smoke some good shit you really do come up with some pearlers. Rookie listed players are on 80k. If they play league "AFL" they get match payments on top of that.

Sounded very fete accompli to me hearing him speak on 6PR tonite!

Well it's a fete acompli that he signed with Perth and not Swans for two years and GWS for one year. By my calculations he'll be back playing for the Demons again, just delayed a year.

PD-- I am pretty sure the EP premiership side contained at least there PFC players: Cable, Miller and Mick Ray, but I may be wrong; a bloody big curse indeed.

I would think the 2 years he signed with Perth is now null and void as there would have been a clause in the event he got rookied so it will be open slather again when he is done!

Pretty sure that Mick Ray played in the '76 Grand Final,but not the '78.

Stinger Ray played in 78

In your mind it would be but you obviously ignore the fact he is loyal to Perth and showed that by signing with us despite your clubs best efforts. Good luck to him he's been thrown a lifeline.

Maybe you should ask your "inside source" at the Perth FC about his commitment to Perth.
