SORRY SORRY SORRY.

Hey all, Have been given some mixed info. The assistant coach is NOT Maskos but I have now been told it is Mark Foster, colts coach at East Freo. Seems Maskos was approached but South's upped his remuneration to stay. Either way, I am more than happy to have Foster as he is another with a great reputation in developing juniors and East Freo have had more AFL draftees than most WAFL clubs. My boys who have been part of the colts & development squads over past few years, also say that Foster is very well respected amongst the youngsters & knows what he is talking about

This also seems to be the reason for the delay in the appointment of Earl as he was very particular in grabbing one of these guys knowing their strengths with juniors. Earl could have been announced a few weeks back but we wanted to get the good news done in buckets rather than dribbles.

People can criticise the appointment but he is a proven AFL player at one of the biggest & Proudest clubs in the AFL. He also made his mark in the AFL days when it was at his toughest and has been involved in AFL assistant capacities for some time and with some very good experienced AFL coaches. He also has Perth blood through & through, as has most of his family. For those that know the big Duke, he is a straight shooter and very driven. Rather than be critical regarding his appointment in lieu of superman or God, i think this is a very good positive.

Again sorry for the wrong info initially.

then why at EF colts medal night it was announced Foster was reappointed as EF colts coach for 2015?.....good luck to the guy for securing a league assistants spot if you are right swanky.....hopefully Chance Bateman will be in line to coach EF colts in 2015 then

We have not had an election for over 10 years and now is the opportunity for change which is badly needed IMO.
I hope that there are some out there willing and able to put a hand up änd who have the football and business nous and the contacts and the influence to bring fresh ideas and change to the club.
There are so many Perth supporters out there who have been in hiding for far too long. Time for some of them to come out of hibernation and help make a difference.

Would be fantastic to see some former players involved as President or as Directors. We must be the only WAFL club without a former player on the board.
