Also Bob Shields has said that he expects to have news regarding the new General Manager before Christmas.

Has he actually been cleared yet. He is still showing as a number 99 on our website list of players, same as Tropicana.

It was suggested that Kieran was a mobile tall in the mould of Lachlan.
Good to hear he is running well.
And at the Club before Xmas.
So will do a full preseason.

Well he's training and been announced as a recruit. I would assume he has been cleared.

Maybe not cleared yet as he is not listed on the WAFL website.

Sounds like Brian Cook is getting the job done.
All good news.

Appears a very good result for a tall

Now we’ve got rid of dopey Atkins all of a sudden we are getting fair dinkum about recruiting but are restricted to 110 points.

What’s the punishment for? Back to back 6th spot? We should definitely receive compensation points for McInness and I hope the club is lobbying the WAFC on this. Just doesn’t make sense to strip us of points when we are primed to finally have a big impact on this competition. If we made finals and a grand final in the last couple of years then fair enough take the extra points away.

Exactly what I said on the clubs facebook page when that article was written. With no reply

STD apart from CJ recruiting was dormant under Atkins reign and membership went through the roof after change of president make no mistake about that. Marty passing through the exit door was the last piece of the puzzle.[/quote]

Again membership did not go through the roof. At halfway point of the season we were under 1000 members. The next 500 members were practically giveways to boost and manipulate numbers.

Might have been asked and answered before - but is there any reasons why Brian Cook isn't placing his hand up to be General Manager?
