Apparently D day for WCE and their SSP upgrades. Sounds like 1 available spot could balloon into 3, due to Darling and a few of those recent WCE long term injuries. Considering Strnadica has been based at WCE for the whole preseason, he would be terribly unlucky to miss out, whilst Joyce and Naish were the only SSP train ons to play v Freo yesterday. Can't see WCE blindsiding any one by pulling a Rogers or Schelensog or Strom rabbit out the hat unseen.....so it looks like Strnadica, Joyce and Naish will battle it out or all three will be accommodated..... bugger for EF if it was the latter....

NicNat pretty much announced that Strnadica will play at West Coast this season, in a interview last week.

As an opposition supporter I feel for you lot. Historically you've had your best juniors ripped out of the club before even playing a league game and now with all this supplementary and mid season draft crap you're losing your best seniors as well. Great for the players but it must be frustrating for coaches, sponsors, supporters and the like.

Shit luck really, I definitely had old easts to go deep into finals this year, if this is the case I'm not so sure now

These drafts are fkd, just another dagger to the heart of the Sharks and ultimately to the WAFL.

Is what it is, good luck to any player getting a last minute lifeline....but what will be worse, is if these last minute lifelines play majority of the year in the WAFL for WCER....just freebie additions.....

I would say that today’s announcement on top up players will mean that Strnadica is definitely lost from us….but then we already knew that.

Out: Dixon, Joyce and Strnadica

What a shit sandwich for the Sharks.

Great news for the kids though.

Always on the cards with those WCE injuries.
Great opportunity  for all 3 boys to reignite their AFL careers. Good luck to them.

Goddard certainly goes a long way  in replacing Strnadica. 

Schoenfeld and Murdock returning from early 2021 season ending injuries will help offset not seeing Joyce our main 2022 recruit......

Dixon to me is the biggest loss, especially so late preseason.   Dixon and O'Reilly seem to stay fit and clicked up forward late 2021....resulting in those Subi and WP wins. Jonno Marsh will obviously play more forward now. 

Just really hammers EF depth losing those 3 players, injuries will obviously  happen at some point, then it will really bite.....frustrating  thing is those 3 are gone all season, not just for a block of weeks....

Surely this is Cody's big chance Freezin? Anyone need a half back flanker with specialist full back kicking out duties?

DD, considering where Perth ended up in 2021, I'd be more interested in who has the FB kicking out duties for the PFC this year TBH.....because who ever did it last year for Perth obviously didn't do it well.....kept on boomeranging back in, as quick as it was getting kicked out?
