Re: Player Rumours / Recruits

Well if after winning 100k and having donations to get our two recruits last year, cutting full time staff and replacing with part time and yet we still have no money and relying on donations- we are screwed.
What the hell have the board and former CEO been doing???????

Donations WILL NOT keep us going, time for some change in how they run the club.

The Club is being very active, but it's not a great idea to flag your recruiting targets this eatly.

Why R/B these 2 player's I have mention are Westie Players nothing to hide they either come
home or go to the HIGHEST BIDDER like the last 5 odd years ???

I don't know, Scorps, but I'm sure the Club is doing everything necessary to sign any returning AFL players available.

Everyone needs to relax a little, the season only ended a few days ago, we have not even had the club presentations yet. Coach has been in place less than a week.

No other club (other than Norwood) has come out and said who they are chasing and I bet that was just a direct question from the journalist rather than them releasing the information. Norwood look like losing up to 12 top players this off season so they will need to be pro active.

Scorps, those that didnt comeback to us, I dont think any have really hurt us.

Going to be a long off season if everyone is panicking already.

Think Beech and Silverlock are more likely to sign than I was a week ago.

How likely were you to sign a week ago?

by Mark Beswick Thu Oct 10, 2013 9:37 pm

Less likely in both cases

We have pretty much lost our whole back line Fergy retired, Mangan back to Melbourne and Tippett unlikely to stay.

by redandblack Sat Oct 12, 2013 10:48 am

Joel was at the B & F last night and hasn't indicated anything about going . He's at the State DRaft Camp today, that may be the biggest problem.

So far, Fergie, Brad Mangan and Slattery appear to be our only 'outs'.

by Mark Beswick Sat Oct 12, 2013 11:26 am

Unless drafted - I am quite positive JOel will stay

The outs are as per R&B

Depending on who GFC appoint as coach, we might have some pretty amazing news in the future too

Have heard the Crows are right into Tippett...........

by Lachlan Sun Oct 13, 2013 11:05 am

Based on what I'm reading in the Sunday Mail its looks more likely we will lose Tippett.

Our recruiting committee are going to need to earn their keep this year if we lose Tippett.

We then need to find Two key defenders, a ruckman and a key forward

Is STILL staying in town? Shocked

by brodlach Mon Oct 14, 2013 11:45 am

Has Mangan definately gone? Mentioned on the SANFL site he has gone but I have not heard anything official

by Mark Beswick Mon Oct 14, 2013 5:19 pm

Nothing official but highly unlikely to be in the R&B jumper 2014

Mangan gone back home and Jono Beech re-signed.

by Mark Beswick Mon Oct 21, 2013 8:28 pm

Keeping Beech is a huge bonus - silverlock to go and we have kept a significant part of our list then - After that, we need a five or six recruits to replace the backmen and dd to our depth
