Ok guys ........
Any news about how the new seasons training is progressing?
Who are the newbies?
Whos returned with a bang?
Whos disgrutled?
Whos back from injury and looking good?
Ive heard we have three new indiginous players starting - any goss?
Hows the coaching group looking?
Seems the Carlton scout once again (he is a mate afterall) sits in on training - just a job or repoprting being made prior to draft?

Good day guys.Just having a look at the in and outs list.
Noticed that the names Lockyer and Mcphee are listed at Subiaco.
If this is true i will be totally pissed.
Seems that we have gone back to the about 2005 where Suby were pinching players from everywhere.
Also the WP player management need to have a hard look at themselves if this is allowed to happen.
Last year we lost Stockley and Latham to Suby and look how that turned out. Not happy

Frank, Lockyer is at Subiaco. He didn't sign with us because his management shopped around and Subiaco came up with close to what Locker was demanding. I wish the lad well but he is very much injury prone. In the three years he was at Sydney he didn't even get picked as an emergency. I cant say much about McPhee apart from he will find it very hard to make the league team with the quality of players they have. I suspect he has moved closer to the city for employment reasons. I wouldn't be too concerned Frank.

Frank,

WP did everything they could to keep him and paying big dollars for a bloke that who has only played 2 x league games for WP and not a sniff of an AFL opportunity was ludicrous. Subi are happy to fork out, Stockley I agree would have been handy to keep him, but Latham would not have got a game at WP even if he was a Premiership player for Subi, we had the 2nd best defence in 2014 despite our lowly finish.

Mcphee not good enough to get a reserves game in premiership team. No loss for the Falcons. Will make a fare player at Mt Lawley in 2016

I hear Shaun Marusic has gone back to Victoria and Callum Papertalk is training at West Perth. Thought Mitch Mcphee was good player , but have been plenty who have missed Grand Finals, dealt with the disappointment and just got on with it. Wish him all the best for next season

With Marusic gone, that's ten points in the bank so after the rookie draft we can afford another player or two. With Lockyer gone, that's twenty grand in the bank. I believe we should try and recruit a mongrel ruckman. Love Chris and young Southerland is up and coming but with Seva out for a year Chris has a big job in front of him.

Good to see the club made a modest profit of around $5000.00.

Where did Seva do his knee? Training?

DG, not sure, it may have been at the showgrounds against Claremont. I'm sure Leedy or Falcon will correct me if I'm wrong. BTW Cardy is holidaying in America, I believe he returns to Perth in a couple of weeks.
