Jimmy is a difficult one......a difference of opinion that can't be resolved.

Ryan Sheehan was exciting when he first came up from colts...but poor form and injury just wore him down.

I thought you had big raps on Lee ???
Where is he playing footy this year ???

Jimmy was one of the best colts players we have had in the last 3 years but it's a conflict of personalties that can't be fixed unfortunately.

I hope he doesn't go to WP but couldn't blame him if he did.

That's no good Ben - No chance of getting him back ???
Shit it's tuff to get them and easy to loose them ???

I wish him well.

No chance mate.

He could be a very good addition for us. 134 League games for the Double Blues, so he has the credentials. Hope he stays fit.

Yes he looks good. Interestingly Herring played in the same team & was rated one of their best up & comers...

Marc Stinga Re left half way through the year due to lack of opportunity.
Worked really hard to get back after breaking his leg the previous season
- was arguably the best in the ressies each week but not getting a league game.
Went to play with Jordy Adamson-Holmes and a few other ex-Subi players with
Bunbury Bulldogs and had an absolute birthday. Apparently dominated in the 1st semi and prelim - kicked 11 goals.

I guess Chop, not all good young players are going to make it.

I suppose since 2011 we've only lost 3 very good U/21 prospects.

James Lee (Colts F&B winner)
Brett Lofthouse (Originally from the Peel district)
Ryan Sheehan (Very good before injuries took their toll)

But at the same time we've gained

Dom Sheed, Rhys Waters, Justin Joyce, Buddy Pickett, Chris DeLuca Cardillo, Dan Leishman, James Garcia, Simon Moore, Charlie Le Fanu, Matt Bogensperger, David Madut, Cam Wohling, Myles Smythe, Dylan Clarke, Baldave Singh, Craig Hoskins, Bill Fetherstonhaugh, Mitch Harvie, Joel Ashman, Eddie Hill, Nathan Caccamo, Kyle Halligan, Alex Sheed, Luke Norriss, Christian Bottecchia and Stuart Berryman. (Well, Leishman is a bit older than 21 but a newcomer to WAFL footy)

What a exceptional group coming through together. If just half those blokes fulfill their potential we are in for some good times ahead.

Some absolutely amazing Colts/17's/16's/15's in the system too. We have arguably the best, second best and fifth best 16 year olds in the state. But don't want to look too far ahead. Long way to go for those blokes.

what about Tom Smith he should be an in??
