TOPIC:

What does anybody know about East Perths big 3, Johnson, Smith and Lee? Are they all contracted and likely to stay?

All super keen and happy to be Royals, Tiger of old.

I reckon all will stay Especially Lee. If any of those three were to move I would say Johnson and Smith would be more likely than what Lee would be.

Johnson in love with East Perth, Smith if he plays football will be at EP. Anderson another A grader Very settled. Throw up any other names your interested in.

Lets wait and see how they feel when the dozen or more aligned players come into there team.
I imagine they would be second choice players for key positions...eg what happens to Johnson when Sinclair and Lycett are playing?????
Theres only so many talls you can play in the one team...never heard 3 ruckmen in the one team!

will be interesting when Lycett, McGovern, Sinclair, McIness all have to play in the same team as Smith and Johnson..
though in Smith and Johnson's defence leaving East Perth means giving up 100k jobs so they are probably happy to play magoos

Exactly my point.
Johnson,Smith and Co will probably be at East Perth in 2014 but i reckon the aligned clubs will feel the full impact from home grown/non-aligned players in 2015,could be mass clearance applications lodged in 2015!!

Theres no doubt East Perth will have the best rucks/Key forwards in the comp by a country mile!!

Do these puppets have a salary cap of some description or a points system they must follow?? like the rest of the clubs....or are they just exempt from all of that?

We had the best spine last year by the length of the flemington straight but no Trophies. Midfields win finals.
