TOPIC:

Gee disappointed to hear Perth aren't overly interested in developing their own like SD try and do.....yep understand 40 years of failure can mess with ya head, but really thought Perth Footy club would be looking from within for success, not outside like they have done for last few decades.......20 players on a poaching list FMD...didn't Perth's colts go undefeated for a large chunk of 2016?

Freezin, 3 loyal 1point players returning to the club. That is pretty good recruiting. Add about 10 talented Colts from last season added to the senior list all of whom will get plenty of opportunities to prove their worth during the season.
Yes we are looking outside for a key forward and possibly a tall defender but if you ain't got them within you have to look elsewhere.
Your blokes on this forum keep talking about recruiting players from outside. What has happened to the once great EF development zones?

Good discussion, Might be useful to shift it to the Perth/East Fremantle thread though? Its a bit frustrating that my question about Crowley a few pages back has been submerged under a debate about Perth recruits. You have plenty of your own threads, why don't you use them?

Mikeh I believe Crowley was at Basso training this week.

Trying my best to behave here smokey....havent mentioned EF once.......as DW said Mikeh, Crowley doesnt add any pace to your midfield, definitely a mature head n body......what is Cary up to?

I'm sure you boys won't cope too well with another terrible season. Couldn't happen could it? Surely not? Now that's twice I thought my input on this thread was done and dusted but Swandog keeps reviving the debate.

You need to get your facts right DD, I know for a fact from inside Lathlain that they were/are talking to everyone and anyone in the WAFL and in fact had a list of about 20'players they were targeting from other clubs! and this was in August when the season was still going, so run along now

Well your source from within the Perth fc needs his ass kicked you are always spruiking like you know what's going on in the Perth FC.

The FACTS my friend are your FM has targeted and gone hard for two ex AFL players from the Perth FC in recent years from a club starved of onfield success.

MO you better have a word with your mate if you don't like me on this thread.

Mate I personally spoke with one of your highly credentialled assistants on the blower whilst talking business and when in general talk I mentioned Justin Simpson was thinking of retiring he jumped on it quicker than a fly on dog shit and said gee we might have get on to him for a chat to lure him out - words to that affect, I told him forget it as there is zero chance he would want to play anywhere but Swans, so get off your unfounded poaching rubbish and have a look in your mirror

yes I can understand you bogans wanting to keep on topic as the comments are coming so thick and fast from all angles it must be difficult to keep up.

Doc is training but club not expecting him to play, work will take over.

Definitely need some blokes who can run and kick long off the wings and flanks, nothing come through from the colts or reserves in that regard.

Tobe Watson our Colts F&B could be one MO except that he is being seriously looked at by a few AFL clubs for the draft.

He is not quick from what I have seen, plays around the ball.
Would be surprised if he got drafted, too light at this stage for his size
