Grump off topic here so I hope you don't mind responding...if not that's ok... #38 Redhead in your colts program....the lanky gangly red headed fella seemed to have his own cult following during the colts match...super impressed with his work ethic and despite his gangliness still found a way to win the ball...looks like a real bright future prospect...just asking your thoughts regarding his ability...really stood out in the match last night...has he got the goods??

He is a redhead and his name is..... wait for it ....... Readhead. He is an overage player from NSW who as I understand it is from a league and basket ball background. The club thinks highly of him as he has been with the league squad since arriving. I think for a kid who is learning the game he has the goods and the boys rate him.

Before the bleaters jump on all clubs can have overage boys in the colts so no special treatment!

not having a crack here Grump but how does it work that you can have overage kids in Colts? I thought it was based on age....

Sorry I came across as a bleater Grump - there's no disrespect toward you in any way from me personally
The alignment will hurt great people like you when the kids are taken by the WAFC mate , don't worry we know it too

They changed the age bracket to fit in with the school year a while back.

So anybody born after July 1 1998 is still eligible for colts this year.

ok...cheers mate.

Hey Grump, do you have any idea whats happen to Mitch Dobson, he played well in the colts last year, doesn't appear to have played for the Ressies at all or has he gone somewhere else

Dobson had a power tool accident cut his hand badly.

Cheers Larry, for the update

To be honest too bad East Perth. You made your bed now you can lie in it.

If East Perth get rid of the alignment you think the Eagles wont just align with someone else. They will. They will be coming for a club that you support.

Why should any other club have to go through that when East Perth wanted it, went for it and are now sooking about it.

Too bad.

Think EF need the help TBH....only way EF are gonna get a decent tall like Josh Kennedy back kicking goals for them

IMHO no to the extension might be the best outcome.
Maybe a stand alone option becomes the saviour which is what the Eagles wanted isn't it?
Just need to get the top up rules right.
Whatever that may be.
