Yes thats there are several other team related threads for the coming season so now its time for a thread for the mighty peel thunder who are written off year after year by many but the mandurah faithful have high hopes for the coming season that a maiden finals appearance can and will happen...With the return of Rory O'Brien and Danny Chatres and the signing of former Dockers player Heath Black along with VFL recruits Shannon Milward, Kain Robbins and Damien Lock the Thunder certainly have added some experience and on paper look a stronger side then last season when they finished 6th.

KEY PLAYERS
Zac Beeck - The former east perth ruckman was a great pick up for Peel last season and was dominant at times in the ruck which was one position Peel has struggled with in the past. Didnt have as many brain fade suspensions last season and once again is a key for Peel's chances of a maiden finals appearance in 2009
Heath Black - A new player to Peel this season after retiring from AFL Football last season and is expected to play a key role this season for the Thunder. He brings alot of experience to a young Thunder side and Muddy Waterman has already said he will use him wherever he is needed whete\her it be defence, middle or attack.
Simon Rosa - Was one of Peel's standouts last season and is an experienced midfielder who can also play half back or half forward. Is a leader of the club and needs to play well for Peel to challenge for the finals this season.
Dean Buszan/Kain Robins - Buzzy has been around WAFL traps for years now and has also called Thunder home for the last couple aswell and once he returns from injury is the #1 forward option with Ballantyne expected to get games at the Dockers....With Buszan missing the early games of the season Robins will be taking the key forward role.
Youngsters to watch: Ben Howlett, Alan Davis, Glenn Haggar, Jake Ferrier.
So all you Peel fans get on board and get behind the club in their push for a debut finals appearance in the WAFL at League Level.
--Side Note: Peel currently have 971 members and their target for this season is 1500.--
