...and as i stated earlier you have to fit all the aligned players into that spine and midfield!
2014 your East Perth non aligned players will stay...2015 different story.
I reckon you will lose a lot of players to the non aligned clubs.

will be interested to see the extent of Johnson's, Smith, Anderson et al love for EP when they find themselves playing second fiddle to the AFL fringe players.....Cruize Garlett fell out of love at Peel quick enough when he got bypassed for a Freo fringe player....it will happen......

touch wood when it does, when their ego's can't take any more warming the bench, playing out of position or playing seconds.....the other WAFL sides give them the cold shoulder and say thanks but no thanks when they come knocking.......

Karma's a bitch freeze. Can't see it happening, but agree...it'd be justice.
They will all flock around knowing there's going to be glory galore, but if they don't get to be part of it?????

I don't launch personal attacks unless I am face to face but some nonsense is being talked. It is a game of football after all nothing more nothing less. I doubt Buddha had the WAFL in mind on his path to enlightenment, Karma seriously these guys are not criminals.

No nonsense is when you say Johnson 'loves' EP 2019......he loves EP for paying him good wages...nothing more nothing less.....but good luck to the fella he would be mad to play for anyone else that stupid like EP to pay him big bucks....as you say it is only footy.....far more people do more worthy jobs and get paid less.

It would make me laugh tho if he went knocking on other clubs doors when Sinclair and Lycett are rucking and Colledge, McGovern and McInness are playing up front......and all the other clubs said on ya bike champ....won't happen tho, clubs like EF or Perth need his sort big time sadly!

No one's calling them criminals mate. Just saying that if the Eagles can pick them up a flag or 3, they'll hang around......until they find they're just back ups for the A team. Call it what you want mate, to me it would be Karma....Buddha and EFFC guide my life

Jamie Macnamara back for the sharks

I doubt you have ever spoken to Paul or any other player at EP. I have and almost without exception the players have a great affinity with the club. Even the ones I have spoken to that are leaving are still in two minds. I agree 2015 more may leave if things don't pan out well.

considering Johnson is employed by the President he is hardly going to coem out and bag the club, not too many blokes on a 150k package are going to bag their employer..

I'm sure they do, its a fantastic football club, rich tradition, great jumper and colours, strong finances and support, that's why it's so disappointing that they are going to assume a new identity as eagles reserves side.
