CORRECT!
eye test in the morning. But will still go with the names mentioned as pretty sure Swans need a ruckman/forward and Pattison is still in his prime at 26. Plenty of good footy left.

I think maybe it is boumann the swans are chasing and have heard he is pretty close to signing... Shepp bears are also bout to announce some signings from tasmania appartently! Silly season up and about isnt it?
Huge news if so Hank. I hope you have some good mail.

Out Campbell in Weeks, where does that leave Bowen to play? bloody huge news if true
I would play Bowen CHB as that's where he has played alot before going forward at Rochy. Might be 2 pronged forward line?
The recruiting of players for Rochester so far can only be described as first class as not often you can replace a Guy Campbell within your club but I believe they have. Also replacing retired players with similar like Anderson and Sharp along with keeping the nucleus of the 2nds and thirds coming through. Should be very competitive and on a par if not leading recruiting sign ons but think that will now be it. Probably could use a ruckman but McLinden if fit could play there as well.
United still the one to beat. Rochy have to win a final to jump in front.
Seymour and Mansfield very quiet on recruiting front. Where are these 2 at and anyone know of any signings?
My mail is that blake will be bringing with him a recently retired ex team mate who has something in common with him..... Dropped for a grand final ....fact !
It is true mate-signed sealed delivered! I believe that there could be some more big news in GV footy soon
Bomber Wojcinski?

Knowing scotty Grigg I know he'll be playing his cards very close to his chest. There was a whisper that gun SANFL on-baller josh cubillo, was in talks with tatura at one stage & would be a huge acquisition. I'd also expect griggy to give some very talented nt recruits an opportunity at GV level & has a heap of connections in melb, so, in brief, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't assemble a list capable of going back-to-back.
The mail is that they think they've covered their losses .

big losses in crawford,broadbent,murphy,shaw,little,trewin,ryan so if they pick up 4 or 5 they be bout same again but kirby and wellington are a year older to so they could have a down season!!
have heard they're chasing about half a dozen from melb.. and having a crack at 3 from bendigo... including interleague captain simon rosa.. so sounds like they wont be having a down year from lack of trying thats for sure...

would rosa be a chance to head to rochy with weeks.. If tat sign 5 or 6 guns and i expect m,pna to sign 4 or so quality to then honestly next yr could be the best standard of gvl footy for a long time and thats without knowing what mansfield or seymour or echuca are going to sign! Amazing season coming up i think!
Any early flag tips or top 6 or morrison medals tips, i know its early but worth a chat
Top 6 ?
United
Rochester
Tatura
Mooroopna
Kyabram
Seymour
In no particular order! Swans/Mansfield will press hard for a top 6 spot. Mansfield could unveil any number of recruits with their contacts.
I didn't think Ryan was leaving Tat, Unless you where confusing him with AB as I know he is/has moved back to Sydney with his Mrs? & saying Kirby & Wellington being a year older they could have a down season is a big call, I know they are early 30's but they have both come off very good seasons Kirby especially....
Also I know that Josh Fraser is choosing between Tocumwal or Mansfield, & with Craig Kelly being his Manager throughout his AFL career I know Mansfield will be giving it everything, but also know he has met with Toc & really enjoyed what he seen up there??
Dont think Rosa will leave Square as if they don't have a coach shortly I reckon he will end up doing it. Rochy tried for 2 years I believe and probably in all honesty could not afford him with the others on board already.
Rosa has also been linked to big offer at Barham who would pay plenty to get him. I believe he will stay at Square at least this year.
Also agree with other comment about Kirby. Was sensational last year in finals and the big blokes don't get any smaller during the game.
