Paul Koulouriotis?

Good one BP, maybe central's will entertain him, at 32 would be a good pick up

the one that is coming back I am happy with
welcome back *****

For Westies sake I hope its a better Porps than what we saw last year. Looked absolutely cooked and was quite sad to see him plodding around doing stuff all getting towelled up by kids.

Lee wrote:Correct, BP

Sorry, BP, just kidding, it's not Paul.

Will be announced today, I think.

Yes, Lee, I figured that was the case...

My post wasn't just the first ex-Westies aligned Power player that sprung to mind...

Jason Porplyzia officially signs with the Bloods for season 2015...

Ryan Willits...

SANFL web site wrote:The Bloods have also welcomed back former Power bigman Ryan Willits, who last played for the club in the 2012 SANFL Grand Final.

The 27-year-old – who measures in at 198cm and 98kg – has spent the past two seasons playing for Montmorency in Victoria.
‘’He will play a very similar role to the one he played before he left,’’ Marks said of Willits.
‘’He adds depth to our talls in the ruck, up forward and down back.’’

We're hoping he'll accept lead tenor in our choir.

Fingers crossed.

Maybe now Daniel Webb can play the majority of his time in attack, where I personally think he is best suited...

Might also depend on how that knee of Justin Hardy's is coming along, I suppose?

Good one, Lee...

You'll also be pleased to know that Mason Middleton is coming along OK too, Phil.

That is good to hear, I'm really pleased for Mason...

But, there might not be any room for him in the Bloods forward line...

I've got to go, Lee, have to make a quick call to Ro..., never mind

Wow who would have thought

given the history of Ryan at Glenelg when Rubbers' was the coach, one now must think (i always did) that it wasn't Ryan that wanted to leave at all, it was all Port being sooky sooky la la because of a trial match ffs

Jono Beech invited to train with the Crows in the lead up to the draft...

Bloods fans would hate having him play against Westies, for the Adelaide Crows State League side...

Good luck to him, though, I think he is good enough to be on an AFL list...

IMO I don't think he is up to AFL standard

Good luck to Beechy. Nice to see Brucey and Porps back at the club

Me too, although would be happy to be proven wrong. Has been a sensational SANFL player and there's a lot to like about the way he goes about his footy.

Totally agree Scrunch, nice bloke too and a good SANFL player.
Just don't think he is quick enough or much of a defensive side to his game.

A couple of new players at The Parade, with some former SANFL alignments...
