hopefully we're making big plays for Morabito and Hannath now that the rookie draft is done and dusted. an inside mid and a genuine ruckman would be huge in's for us as I don't think we'd need anyone else at this stage and should look internally if we did.

BC a ruckman is the absolute priority above anything else, Clang and Dela were great competitors particularly around the ground where they were essentially ruck rovers. We got smashed nearly every week in the tapouts which meant our mids had to work so much harder, a decent tap ruckman will release Cland and Dela and make life a little easier for the mids. Not convinced on Mora, would be a big risk to use 10 points on him, would be better to look for a couple of 6+ point mids from the SANFL/VFL, where we have done very well for many years.

Obviously I know nothing about footy then, thought he was a certainty to be picked up by somebody, will give us another season of highlights at Subi hopefully!

If an interstate recruit has played one league game of vfl, sanfl etc then they are worth 10 points seagull. If they have only played ressies then are worth 5

I notice Hancock is off and Bailey Matera is on our list on the club website. What's up with Hancock? Feathers also missing...

We're fast becoming the WAFL's Statue of Liberty.....“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

Strange days indeed!

Can now let go of that optimistic hope Sam Grimley may return to Subi for 2017 - he has signed for Heidelberg FC in Victoria.

A blessing in disguise in my book,Lions Den.Use those points to get a good ,durable ruckman and we will be set for another great season.DG,the WAFLonline site still shows Hancock on our list when I looked last night.Virtually a new recruit as he was injured in the first game last year.If he stays injury free,he is capable of having a huge impact for us next season.Our forward line is already looking imposing,especially with Liam Ryan and Shepheard being exposed to a full pre season.Then add the return of the classy Halligan,along with others such as Delahunty,Cockie,Dylan Clarke,Sokol and Wheeler and you have a mix capable of giving the other clubs nightmares.

I'm pretty excited about the chance to see Liam Ryan going around another year, great for the WAFL.
