Brooks has played some good league footy hasn't he, or at least has the potential to develop a bit later, ie Currie?

Ricky Butler played country footy this year anyway, whufc.

Info on Slattery from a Westies insider (played with him):

"He makes some bad decisions and can get very negative. But is bloody good on his day. Knows how to get the ball. Reminds me of Robert Harvey. A bit unlucky not to get drafted a few years back."

Stephen Brooks I have heard is training with Sturt. He is Ok. Gives 100% struggles kicking but would be a good Full back.

Thanks for Slattery westies.

Plus Stewy Dew to this all looks good for 2007.

Callinan will be a super pick up if we get his signature

what is the latest on Troy Makepeace

the whisper on Dew is he is almost over the line

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2006 8:43 pm**

Paul Thomas has said that Makepeace ain't coming.

Troy Makepeace signs with Casey Scorpions
Wednesday 13 December 2006
The Casey Scorpions have made one of the most significant signings of the TRUenergy VFL pre-season, locking in former Kangaroo Troy Makepeace as a playing assistant coach for the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

Makepeace has been a key component of the Kangaroos backline in recent seasons and brings the experience of 139 AFL games to the club.

Now bury that story "he is gone"

Who will become the Mark Cosgrove of the SANFL. Diet anyone?

Posted: **Thu Dec 14, 2006 8:36 am**

He's played professional football for nearly 10 years and his weight's never been questioned, pace maybe, and we're all aware that he's chunky - but Port's never raised an issue with his weight.

Although it is interesting that Cossie and Stuey come played cricket for Salisbury/Northern Districts.

Anyway BP - remember Grenville Dietrich? Diet should not have been in his name...ANDDDD you've got the Hamburgler Twins in your coach's box
