I am led to believe Subiaco may be the club of choice for a few of the boys. U would also think there would be a few leaving East Perth? seal, brookes, swan (retire?), (wulf retire?)
This is just my thoughts on east perth.
The swans one i have heard from a pretty reliable source. Be interesting if they would snag Krakouer considering they have no money.

Well cmon then name names from Swans then??

I heard from a reliable source that Perth have a whiteboard with 2 players from each club they are looking to poach. One name bandied about was Frank Stockley

Yeah I heard from a reliable source Swans have a similar whiteboard too.....EF has one, as does SF, Subi and Cl.......apparently EP and Peel don't use them.....

I hear Frank Stockley magnetic name tags are on special at Woolies....thus Perth, SD, EF, SF and Subi having them......I wonder if Paul Johnson and Joel Smith tags will be put under the red dot specials soon?

Talking to a fella in a Dunedin pub the other day.....surprised to hear Robinson, Roach, Hildebrandt, Twomey and Geappen are looking for new places of abode.....and before you lose your rag SwanDog.....these guys actually play rugby for the Otago provincial side

It didn't take long before the trolls came to this thread Mikeh

Hi swandog,
Im actually a swans supporter so not stirring at all. I didnt get the names but the source is pretty involved down at subi, lets hope for our sake it is not the case. But there are said to be 3 or 4 looking for the move across.
Frank stockley would be silly not to look at offers from other clubs. Wont really get a crack at west perth with keunen playing. Dont think Bill likes playing two ruckmen. And with Rodda holding his spot as a fwd/ back up ruckmen, franks chances look slim.

Yeh I wouldn't mind him (Stockley) at Swans mate, I did hear Roach was linked to Subi, but then I also heard he is off travelling with his missus to europe

I believe Luke Sampey has signed with West Perth.

I heard Payne was on his way to WP as well

Good story on Rory Lobb in the 'West' this morning

au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/wafl...-leap-into-big-time/

Was surprised at how tall he is, 205cm, find it annoying and amateurish that the wafl budget doesn't give us players height and weight. It says he only played one game of amateurs - surely he played junior footy?

I'm fairly sure Matt Orzel has left peel, he should attract a bit of interest if he wants to continue with wafl.
