East Perth advise Ben Middlleton has crossed from Peel to East Perth

Ben Middleton will be a very handy pick-up for our beloved club, OTO.
I thought he was very unlucky to miss selection in the Thunder's successful Grand Final team.

Let's hope he has a word in Michael Randall's ear to keep him in Royal Blue.

Chance that Pegs may stay on for 2025, both Rothams still in negotiations. Up coming draft results may lock in a couple more blokes at WP.

The club met with Josh this morning, The West saying he is at the Falcons. Muddleton will be spewing he moved if the Ferals get stung with -8 or -12 points.

On 6PR this morning, Langdon confirmed that the Perth and East Perth penalties are true. Three games penalty each. I suspect with Perth; it's a soft cap misdemeanor and with EP, who knows.

the premiership points are only one part of the sanctions
wait for another slug that is a deduction of salary cap
it can explain sudden departure of players
and if the penalty is something like 3 games , then expect heavy reduction of salary caps

The departure of players is a normal and predictable process. The somewhat over reaction by some folk is just silly. If EP and it appears so has breached something will be penalised I think that we will cope and still be competitive at the end of the season. It is a bit dumb but still part of the WAFL scene.

The players who have left EP are quite easily explained and not really surprising given each players circumstance.

That is pathetic if true. An almost irrelevant competition will now be completely irrelevant next season. 
what is the point of even fielding teams next season for Perth and East Perth.

That was Friday was it Winger? Can you remember approximately what time of the 5 hour program? Id like to hear it. Did he sound emphatic or something like it's rumoured or I heard?

This is complete bullshit if true and will be the death of the competition. You are effectively knocking out two teams before the season even begins at a time when the comp was just starting to become more even and competive with a few dominant clubs becoming less so.
