Yes, Twomey is a very good WAFL player.

But on paper do you or any opposition supporters really see any genuine stars in our squad?

I mean, Twomey makes a difference of course but one bloke isn't going to lift a side up from 8th spot...

100% agree with you La Hincha, hence my comment about what's in the feed. Good luck against the Dorkers this weekend

Cheers mate.

I dont see genuine stars bensti but i think we have a better all round squad than last year. Recruits such as Delahunty, Twomey, Hilda have made differences but I'd suggest the young guys coming through such as the Deluca's have added a bit and also the likes of Phelan and Waters taking the next step have given us some grunt. I think we'll be there abouts this year but am very excited about the future if we can keep our young guys together.

Yes agreed.

I'm just concerned that opposition supporters will thrash out...it's all because of our highly paid star recruits...when in reality we don't really have any. I guess Twomey is near that mark. Horsley almost certainly but he is one of our own products of course.

Like you say the step up from Chris DeLuca, Rhys Waters and Chris Phelan has been key and we have a big bunch like those but with less games under their belts just waiting in the wings. I hope they stay patient. At some stage they will get their chance. Once we get a few more of those guys up to 20+ games lookout.

maybe its as simple as Subi has improved their side with the imported players and locals improving and the sides you have beaten have declined.
Twomey is highly paid, he is on 40k + your marquee allowance 10k, that would put him in the top range of WAFL players.

Well, he's a very good WAFL player that's for sure.
