On the plus side... no byes and the odd celebrity game when a Shuey or Nic Nat makes a comeback and the wafl gets some media. West coast v subi last year was one of the better games of the season. Good attendance too.

Only thing JL is it might be Greg Clark instead of Shuey who tears us a new one when we play the ResToasters.

I have the same concern SS. Would he fit into WCE midfield if all their current guys were available? Probably not I'd say as he'd be behind Shuey, Yeo, Kelly, Gaff, Sheed, Redden, Petrevski-Seton and maybe Connor West. Plus I still have nightmares about Josh Deluca. Leading the Sandover when taken midseason by Carlton only to play a handful of senior games, spend most of his time in the VFL and never to come back to Subi. That won't happen to Clark you wouldn't think but I reckon we'll see a fair bit of him at WAFL level unfortunately.

Who can forget the late Shane Yarran kicking goals for Peel in the first Peel v Subi grand finals. That hurt. 

Deluca played against us too, I recall. 

BC, a fit and in form Clark would, imho, be way ahead of guys like Sheed, and Conner West, he's far more versatile and far more physical and will be moreso after an AFL pre-season that will be even more intense than a Subi pre-season.

Way ahead of Sheed? That’s a big call SS.
Anyway, there’s 17 other clubs that may draft Clark so all this talk of him playing WC reserves is quite premature.

Joyce and Strnadica invited to train with WC? Ouch! Be a few nervous EF boys on here.

FCKU!!!!!  No, double FCKU.  They’ll just keep them as list fillers.  I could start to get pissed off with the Eagles at this rate.

My guess is it's just a sneaky way to bolster their reserves squad. Probably looking to rookie list or pre-season list these guys, but they will play WCER. A way of getting around the WCER recruiting limits and 1 player per WAFL club rule.

This mob will sink to whatever unethical depths they see fit to get what they want.

If that’s true, then the system certainly is FCKD.  For cripes sake, the AFL has raped our club (arguably) more than any other WA club.  When is enough, enough?  But because I’m a very loyal person, I’ll keep following the Eagles.
