Yes, Ool, we all hope that Subi can pick up another 2-3 top recruits. Otherwise you might lose as many as two games next year.

Nah..thats not right Freez. EF get to feel good about themselves in that they got rid of Hampson and Marsh went to a good home. You can't ask for any more than that.

Now, now the erstwhile Custy won't accept this and will no doubt be onto his moderating mates.

Behave mate.

What we had was a downturn in the economy and end of the mining boom which meant less was spent on corporate hospitality by business. WCE and Freo had a dramatic drop off in sales of corporate packages as well so Subi ended up in competition with the 2 AFL heavy weights. The last few years of the seats deal saw losses which resulted in the club handing back some seats to the WAFC on AFL game days that they couldn't sell. QBE honoured their sponsorship this year but we'll need a new primary sponsor going forward. According to Jim who went to the AGM, an announcement on that is imminent.

Poor buggers

Could our side for 2019 look something like this? Just need a ruckman to finish off or maybe give Tim Sutherland or Josh Chapman first crack.

I'm also concerned regarding the ruck stocks going into 2019, is Mitch Andrews still a chance? He could tide the Lions over for 2019 until other candidates come onto the market for 2020.

Yes...I'm with you ooollll….I still reckon we could poach Corey Gault from the bogans...now wouldn't that get the bogan faithful up and about?

Hadn't thought of him, if he a chance? That could certainly get them blowing the froth off their hot continental cuppa soup on a cold day at Basso, get them up and about no doubt.
Be good for his development though, along with plugging a gap for the Lions in 2019.

I said on another thread to stir up the recently departed Sean that Gault is probably at a loose end at the moment as from what I've seen of SD in recent years, I don't reckon they even start pre-season training until about round 4.

That will suit Hampson then BC....apparently didn't start his preseason at EF till then either......
