Well done Ark.Was Brian Adamson from SA.Was trying to think of good players from SA.Plenty of our played over there.

Brian Adamson was from South Perth fellas he did play in the SANFL with Norwood for a year or 2 where David Palm is originally from but then came back home to WP.

A few more E/S players from each WAFL club AR & GTR are-

CL- Barry Beecroft, Peter Melesso, Geoff Miles
EP- Glen Robertson, Brett Stephens, Peter Thorne
EF- Paul Abbott, Martin Mellody, Adrian Bromage
PE- Brenton Cooper, Daryl Freame, Bruce Tschirpig
SF- Basil Campbell, Wayne Delmenico, Richard Geary

Great work BH.Some handy footballers there.

Doug Farrant premiership player at Perth 76 and 77
David Pretty 1974 losing grand finalist at Perth,won the Simpson in that GF.
Along with Mike Redenbach the above 2 were part of the Cable trade wth North Melb.

Brett Yorgey (David Rhys Jones brother in law) was a very good pick up mid 80’s

Not to forget Ross Young and it was Perth that bought over Marc Webb

Sam Hunt was pretty handy at fullback for South Fremantle. A 2009 SFFC Premiership Player.
I heard someone at the Club say Sam Hunt was the best Eastern States recruit since Len Clarke, 1970 SFFC Premiership Player.
Ryan Cook from Collingwood, South Fremantle's longest serving captain.
Noel Carter as mentioned. From Tasmania, Richmond and SFFC 1980 Premiership Player.
Wayne Deleminco & Derek Shaw another couple of SFFC 1980 Premiership Players.
Jess Sinclair & Heath Black were very handy for South Freo and both SFFC 1997 Premiership Players, from over East, allocated from the Fremantle Dockers.
Just a few off the top of my head for South Freo who were pretty handy.
Edit: I forgot about 1970 SFFC Premiership Captain Coach, Hassa Mann, from the Melbourne Football Club!

Big Bob Johnson would have had to have influenced the WANFL the most.

Maxie Kelleher at Swans.

I concede that Subi has had the occasional recruit from Victoria in recent years but of those who made the move my favourites were Michael Rix, Matt Boland, Dave Robbins, Mark Haynes was a terrific player, Callum Sinclair even though WCE pinched him after a year from memory, Jason Bristow, Brett Mahoney, Richard Ambrose.

Basil Campbell? Where did he originate from? Bruce Tschirpig I'm pretty sure came to us from EF.
