(From an outsider to your club)
David Madut for one >>> may be just what he needs to step up

I expect Subiaco to be in the top 5 with the depth they have in last year's reserves sides and their colts system

Eagles reserves will be strong again only thing that will derail it would be mass AFL injuries , suspensions etc

Southerner -- thanks; yes I think you could be right about David Madut.

I'm far from convinced about Madut from what I have seen. Athletic ability is a long way from football ability in my mind, and a point lost on AFL recruiters. If big Frank goes down we may be in trouble with the backups (Creeper? Madut) still developing.

I predict a slide to eternal oblivion for the team formerly known as East Perth.

Jordan Bestry was the other one I had to think of & maybe Wheeler to pinch hit around the park if needed

Have to agree that McDougall could be the one we miss the most as he provided the tall forward /marking target and ruckman for us last year. There is no obvious replacement for him though i do rate Clancy highly for his work and I was very impressed with Jordan Bestry for his game vs EP where he took on Johnson etc in that game and did well. Madut is still learning the game and is very raw at this stage.

Agreed our rucks are probably going to struggle against the likes of seaby but we struggled even with McDougall.
