TOPIC:

A fit Mora would be the WAFLs best recruit. The same was said about an injury prone bloke named Menagola and it almost proved true but then he played a dozen or so of the best games seen at WAFL level for many years and almost snatched the Sandover. If you could get 12 -15 games out of Mora and have him around at finals he would be very influential and perhaps the reduced rigours of the WAFL comp and training could suit Mora and allow him to play a bit more consistently. That was the case for Brad Smith, his knee was pretty ordinary after he came back from WC but he dominated at WAFL level for 3 or 4 more years.

looks like we've picked up Adamson. he didn't exactly set the world on fire at WART but I guess averaging 19 possies per game isn't too bad and Schowey obviously sees something in him. any other news on arrivals/departures?

Training kicks off tonight for most of the squad with the rest joining in next week and the week after.

Thanks BB....interesting to see who fronts and who doesn't....

Wonder with Subi picking up Adamson, Trops has said thanks but no thanks?....saying that Adamson will be lucky to get a gig with you boys....midfield depth aint one area you boys are lacking. Surely a few of Subi's 2nd tier boys, might be looking on saying WTF?....touch wood EF are casting an eye over Subi's list......got two spare spots with Krakouer and Menagola jumping ship.

Report says Subi were seeking bigger bodied mids after being out muscled by FART in the GF. Would have liked to see Max Walter given a decent go as he fits that big bodied physical approach they are looking for, but Adamson is only a 1 point player being a free agent so not much of a cost in that area.

Still waiting to see what they do regarding getting a proper ruckman. Apart from injury prone Madut we really don't have anyone worth a league game at the moment, Clang and Dela aren't proper ruckman and will serve us better as KPP or ruckrover types.

yep..agree freez...hopefully Boges and Walters will get a crack as it could be we'll see a few retirements and blokes struggling to keep their spots in the midfield. in particular Brett Robinson and Mahoney will be under the pump. what we really need is a ruckman so hoping the club is talking to guys recently delisted like Mitch Clarke, Hannath etc.

Well that would delight EF fans who are crying out for a key forward. FMD

Adamson certainly recruited due to value for points rather than standout quality as a player, but adds good depth to the midfield so happy with that pick up.

Agreed Lions Den.Very smart recruiting by Subi to pick up a 1 point player coming out of the AFL system,the only recruit available under such a background.Another example of why Subi are the benchmark of the comp.Adamson could also be more than just a midfielder with his physique and I reckon Schowy may well use him as a tagged.
