it is always good when the WAFL can attract some profile players , these types of names build interest in the comp.

Baz I suspect , based on no actual evidence but just opinions, that he would not get one with schofield, I reckon that the two personalities would be a clash, just like armstrong was!

Swans and their young players will enormous benefit from having him there.

A brief break from my break to comment on our recruiting of Crowley and potentially Warnock. I agree 100% with Grump about the invaluable knowledge that Crowley can bring to our your midfield both from an attacking an offensive perspective.

With respect to Warnock whilst we have some promising young ruckmen coming through it most certainly will help Blakely and hopefully provide a level of impact similar to what Seaby has provided.

So after a quick stop off at Basso to restock his stimulants supply Crowley is off to his second team of drug cheats.

Would have learnt the ropes from the likes of masters of the trade Chicky & Fletch in his $cumiaco days!!

Are Swans eligible to pick up a clearance fee from Essendon for Crowley?

THERE SHOULD BE MASSIVE 6 digit payment from the AFL/ESSENDON per year for any player taken by the disgrace known as Essendon.

We should be demanding from the VFL/Essenscum 2x lots of compensation-
1x for losing a player & 1x for losing a coach!
We are less than a month out from scratch matches starting ffs!

as if the WAFC will do anything about this debacle, they would be too scared of losing an invite to a free lunch or a junket to Melbourne

it looks like swans get pretty much sfa other than reimbursement of expenses already paid to crowley...that really stinks and another exmple of the WAFC selling WAFL clubs out.

Swandog doesn't seem to think Crowley's departure is a blow to you boys BH.....so I don't think SDFC need any form of compensation TBH.....it's not as though he has donned the great B&W jumper in his footy career is it?......it's definitely a rough pill to swallow for you boys, can see EF swallowing it soon with Watson and Subi with Grimley......now Port want a replacement player for Ryder, reckon they will get compensated well before any WAFL/SANFL/VFL club will!!
