My guess is it may well be in the pipeline. Sounds like a perfect match IMO. He's a seasoned professional with a steely resolve and has the runs on the board. I think he's a WA boy from Broome if I recall. It's a long way to stray from home only to play in the vfl. ?We'll hear about 1AW's replacement soon no doubt. I'm really impressed with the club's appointments. I'm confident they'll appoint a quality person for the role.

Fair enough in its way, as it does give us some more small forward power. It does bode poorly for Kym LeBois, as we have been active in this area. At the moment I can't see LeBois making it. But he could well be the guy who spends a couple of years in the SANFL or whatever and returns to be a player. But things do not look good for him at the moment.I like the idea of getting a bit of experience in. Until 2017 the Baby Blues really didn't have a lot of experienced heads to follow, and the ones we did tended to be injured a lot. But in 2017 we saw Alex Browne, Luke Russell, Cam O'Shea and Ryan Wiggins recruited. Of those Browne failed to play a game: he had lost the desire after his drug ban. Luke Russell was a good player - pity he moved back to Tassie to Captain/Coach. Cam O'Shea had a great year and Ryan Wiggins played a single game, playing mainly in Tassie.If we can get anything like the results we got from Russell and O'Shea, from Josh Hill, Jesse Palmer and Sam Fisher, then we will be well ahead. The probability is not that high, but we live in hope.
