The EP club certainly tried to get transfer fees for the players whom suffered during the de-listing process. The other clubs, rightly, refused to pay the fees as EP would benefit twice from its treachery over the alignment: Eagles players and money -- that would have been a no-no.

The West Australian reported the saga as 'ending WAFL careers'. In terms of fees asked, WP was asked to pay '$7,000' for 'a player whom did not play for the club last year'. According to the West, EP maintained that clubs must pay what a player is 'worth'. Despite what you claimed about no player wanting to be cleared, actually Larry, 'Aaron Sweet, Ryan Maldenis and Jacob Derickx, who have 194 league matches between them, have headed interstate' One can only guess Larry at the amount of money EP would have asked for in payment for experienced league footballers listed by the West above?

If west perth got $30,000for stockley and paid $20,000 for krakeour still had some change left over

Freeze as 42 alluded to those frauds despite gaining 45 WCE players for nothing then have the gaul to put up a big transfer fee for boys who cant even get a look in in their side that is why the likes of Seal, Derickx, McKenzie et al have all left the WAFL system!
And on your other point I wouldnt suggest any of those Eagles boys are average WAFL players, average AFL players maybe but most of them are good WAFL players hence why they were drafted in the first place!

isn't it funny that south did a deal to get Brock Higgins and the sharks got Danny Chartres and Boston Williamson and perth got Rowan Brooks and Blake Borrett.Their is life outside the wafl.Dericx got coaxed over by his brother to sydney so you might want to edit that one out.I suppose the swannies gave free transfer fees for krakouer and twomey.Ha.In the end some guys get more money in the country or interstate or want to experience a different environment.

Rumours are great.According to a west perth supporter in 2013 three east perth players were in the bag and heading to joondy.Must have got lost on the freeway.

What i know for a fact was that players walked last year (noted in earlier posts) and more are on the way out this year. Take this as confirmation and from talking to those who still hang around the EP change rooms

Seriously though Ark would you like to know the mystery player and the real story. Or are you like Astro don't like to let facts get in the way when you post.

Larry Bird wrote: Your naming random players no specifics some of the reporting was over the top I confirmed that with club directly when these rumours surfaced. There was just no truth to any of it. Players playing over East is not because they couldn't transfer I assure you. Please take what gets fed to the West Australian with a grain of salt. Which player did you want specific info I may be able to help you.

LB you surely aren't casting doubts about the integrity of one of your sponsors? Surely, if there was any doubts about the integrity of The West that your club would not have them on the back of your jumpers? I am appalled that you could even imply that is the case LB.

Very funny, integrity I have no clue. Quality of journalism and the quality of their sources (Bert Wapony) is ordinary IMO.

Surely, a sponsor of the club you support wouldn't write unsubstantiated or untrue stories about the club it is sponsoring?

Is this North Korea, no freedom of the press. Your clearly a communist.

chaddy22: It is philosophically incoherent to be able to de-list players, but then demand payment for them. The Commission should never have allowed it in the first place. Players have disappeared across Australia, it seems, because they were booted out of the club. Obviously, in some cases, other WAFL clubs decided to pay the money, which is entirely up to them

We paied $30,000 for Stockley so we can keep up with the EP Eagles in the finals: WP made money; Subiaco may win a flag. Similarly, WP seem to have decided to keep their money in their own pockets rather than assist your finances; rightly so

Astro: It will be interesting to see how many of their 'listed' players decide to chuff-off at the end of the season.

Swan42: that is genuinely funny; and I mean genuinely funny.
