TOPIC:

baz...cicco's infamous brown paper bags coming back to bite you blokes?... Mind you..being a Subi supporter I'm not sure I'm in a position to chit stir too much given we have a history of recruiting high profile blokes on the smell of an oily rag......apparently

South are offering big money this off season that is fact. They have one young player from EP.

Kerr needs to come home and play at Sharks. Too many ex afl players are turning there backs on there clubs that gave them that chance to play afl. Now it's there turn to repay there club. If he goes to another club he's scum

don't understand SF......always picking up players from other clubs, even though their colts finish top 2 most years.....how many CL players have they recruited of late, always dipping into Moss St....keen on a few WP boys....now EP boys.....for a club with apparently no money they seem to recruit pretty well(numbers wise...not necessarily quality wise) every year......

MSS.....Kerr aint scum if he doesn't come back to EF......I'd rather the transfer fee than have him play for half a year and break down....

Looks like the only thing Kerr will be signing at the moment is divorce papers.

Freeze as you well know our colts have been very successful and have been drafted heavily over the past 5 years. I won't go through all the colts players who have played for the league side over the last few years but there are heaps mate.

I'm not sure who the EP blokes (plural) we have recruited lately??? I'm sure you will let me know. Has me puzzled that one.

Maybe we should raid Peel every second year like EF do?? That seems to be allowed. As for the CL blokes in Saunders, Ross and Gillespie . . . all were not getting a game in their league side - hardly poaching and buying playings. WP - you mean Bewick and Harvey. One has gone and the other (Bewick) again wasn;t highly sort of at his original club.

As for money at SF - yes we had a big loss but we still can spend to recruit. It isn't like we don't have money. We will spend as normal on football, we still have sponsors we just won't be pumping cash into refurbishments and clubroom improvements any more as that is done. But we still have the money their each year to spend on players.

Hams, Schloithe, Sellar and Pullman would cost a bit of dosh so we obviously are still very active and haven't shut up shop. Banner, Tighe and Grima would have cost us a bit so we have probably come out of that even or slightly ahead.

Be interesting to see who this EP kid is but I have my money on the young SF fellas from the colts getting first crack like Sokol, Pickett, Verriers, etc.

I heard that Higgins from East Perth is training with you. He would be a good replacement for Tighe.

drafted heavily of late ...and promptly come straight back after a year or 2.....Carter, Verrier x2, Schloithe etc come to mind......so since none of those boys got an AFL league game, one can say 'hardly drafted' can they mate?...

yeah true about EF raiding Peel every 2nd yr?? .....but then SF seem to raid more WAFL clubs than EF and others do every 2nd year don't they mate? ....

got no probs with SF doing it....just find it strange with all SF colts success, SF seem so keen to fill their boots from outside their zone every year....find interesting SF can recruit heavily yet they have no money..sounds like the fella who can't afford to pay their bills,yet they still can buy fags every week...

..good to see SF utilizing their local community though and baiting players with 'crayfish' instead of white goods/flash cars/mentoring positions....thank fudge Sellar hasn't got a seafood allergy Doggie?

how many games do you give Hase before Woosha starts signing off the crayfish invoices?.....I reckon Stavros will be gone if EF fail to make the finals this year....

If we have got Higgins from EP that would be a very handy recruit for us. Played 30 odd league games and is exactly what we need since the departure of Tighe. Hope we aren't going too tall with Saunders, Pullman, Gillespie, Mugumbwa, Sellar, McIntosh, Borovac, Ross, Gulley and now Higgins it seems. Still I suppose we needed them last year and they certainly won't go to waste.

Freeze just to correct you only one Verrier was drafted, just so you know. You need to do a little research of the SF league side over the past 3 years to see just how many colts have played league footy. (Not to mention the ones who couldn't because they got drafted.)

We both know SF have had lots drafted recently. Shaw, Kersten, McCarthey, Johnson, Vandeluer, Carter, Dell'olio, Bootsma, AhChee, Newton, Main and I will stop there (yes Hams, Schloithe, Verrier, Andreoli and Mitch Carter have come back but they were also drafted in the first place which is probably a little further than most of us got to) but we have also has many colts play league and will continue to do so.

The question I would be asking if I was a Sharks fan would be why can't you guys get any recruits, especially now with all the AFL boys gone you should have no trouble enticing players to fill many a hole??

Hmmmmmmmmmm - wonder why??

Just for you freeze. This is the side I posted a few weeks ago. Thought I would highlight the players who have come from our own colts system for you since you seem so concerned. Plenty of SF boys hey =)
