I did say "some way" Freezin but at 22 a lot of upside I'd dare say. Funny how you remember looking at the budget to see who someone is because you are impressed by them. I remember thinking who the f... is this guy? Was Ryan Murphy No 12.

No error Freezn was just talking about Tropiano and Murphy.
If you read my post.
You can read?

Not sure Masten would get a kick on my grand mother.
And she died in 1933.

I wouldn't be counting my chickens on Tropiano boys, I've heard he's no chance to go back to Lathlain

Well he wouldn't be on the WAFL list if we didn't have the clearance.

Wrong

Well of course how silly of me.
NA play in the AFL.

Same principal applies as any returning or delisted AFL player. Other clubs have approached him that’s why he’s on our list. That’s not to say we aren’t trying to convince him to return but my gut feeling is he won’t. In fact he stated it’s AFL or bust so doesn’t sound like he’s interested in playing WAFL again but either way if he signs with us or another WAFL club we win.

DD Perth should get some decent dollars if he's traded to another club, Sandover medallist and SANFL premiership player should demand top dollar.

So we've signed Kieran Delahunty from the NT Thunder and Ryan Murphy from Claremont. If we are able to sign Aidan Tropiano then both him and Murphy in my opinion help cover the loss of Clint Jones in the midfield.

It will be interesting to see where Delahunty will settle. Do the club intend to use him more as a ruckman who pushes forward or a forward who pinch hits in the ruck. From what I've read about him they say he's pretty mobile so I'm leaning towards him playing in the ruck more than he does forward, alternating with Dakota Baldwin-Wright.

Hopefully there's a key forward out there that's capable of kicking 40 goals or doing the grunt work. I've said it before but it would be great to have a player like Clancy Wheeler in his prime. Does all the grunt work for the other forwards to reap the rewards. If we have a player like that it allows Ninyette, Bennell and Roe to crumb the packs where they are more dangerous.
