Chris Bryan is an absolute beauty, highly regarded by Schofield. Has pace and uses the ball extremely well. Played most of 2016 in the league side, injured early 2017 which cost him a decent run at the season.. Went back to North Beach first part of the year, before being enticed back to Subi, played a few ressies, finished back at North Beach.
Che has a lot of potential, if you get him fit and working hard could be a real asset. Can take a mark overhead and can kick goals from outside 50. Tried to get to Perth last season, Subi wouldn't release him.

Don't mind getting Rodgers back.
He's a hard nut with a penetrating kick.
Latch can play and only missed one year.
Dene White will need to earn a spot but we know what he brings.

Have I missed something? Where has it been announced Dene White and Latch are returning? I don't see them on the list I'm looking at which has Carl Green on it. Interestingly Michael Johnson, Tendai Mzungu and Simon Tunbridge are all on the list. Someone mentioned earlier Dean Munns from WP wants to come to Perth. I heard he works with Michael Sinclair.

Rogers will be a good get for Perth if the rumours are true.Always puts the effort in and his disposal is excellent. The current swans coach didn't appear to rate him for some reason. I thought he was one of our top 10 players.

Settle down DD. The club has made no announcements. You would of known if they had.
I would not have expected any announcements until after the AFL drafts over done and dusted.
All speculation at this point but have heard Latch and White are training although I could not be convinced that Dene White would play. My assumption would be that he is in some sort of coaching or mentoring role.
As for Rogers, no one has said he will line up. All that is known is that he has left Swans.

Sometimes getting fringe players can pay off, most obviously with Troppo. However, we have a number of players in our squad who were fringe players elsewhere and few who set the world on fire. Lague, Wilkins, MacFarlane, Schleicher, Giblett, Dennis - a couple are handy but we need more than just handy players to build on last year. That said, if they don't cost points, there's no harm in adding depth. Though he attracted criticism, I think Spencer White is a real loss. We have no other tall forward capable of kicking 5-7 goals in a game. Giobbi was only average, if we do get Rogers, he is a like for like player.

Ted,

The WP 'Reserves' player you speak of was Dean Munns, he never spoke a word to Perth and has signed on to the Falcons yesterday.

Luke English and Ian Hill both drafted and heading east. Such a pity neither will play a senior game for the Dees but congratulations to you both and good luck for long careers..
Very surprised Sidney Stack was overlooked. Surely he will be taken in the Rookie Draft.

Got a feeling they will pass on Sydney Stack Smokey. Seems he's got a long way to go when it comes to reliability. I did read recently he said he wanted to get away from WA.

Looks like you were on the money DD. Sydney Stack missed out altogether and wont be on an AFL list next season. This is a surprise to me. I would have thought that given his obvious talent, an AFL outfit may have taken a risk with him.
That said, he did show what he had in the 3 games he played for us last season. I would expect that he would put his head down, work hard and do everything he must to prove he is ready and able for an AFL gig.
I hope that he doesn't spit the dummy like some do and drown in his disappointment.
He should be a great asset for us next season and no doubt Earl, the FM and coaches aret right behind him and will give him all the support and encouragement that he will need.
Do the hard yards Sydney and go for next year's draft...it is not too late.

Yep looks like they all put Syd in the too hard basket.

Typical corporate AFL - talk the talk but won't walk the walk.
