Sad to see, but expected. John's presence was enormous to us this year. Thanks, Butch, for all you did for the club.
Sam Milne has joined Trent Goodrem and Kyle Jenner in announcing his retirement. Both Sam and Trent are staying on at the club though, in non-playing capacities.
Cheers

Disappointing for the 'Dogs, definitely a loss.

[Brodlach]

Would imagine it’s Jono

[Jackal1]

Would think so...most people know he was very close to joining the Eagles a few years back when he exited the Crows but he remained very loyal to his true club which was good to see.

Jonathan Beech will make his return to West Adelaide in 2021 after taking a year off from SANFL football. After winning the Roger Luders Award for most goals kicked in 2019, Jono decided to have a year off and move interstate and felt 2021 was the right time to come back to the West Adelaide Football Club.“I am really looking forward to being back at the Bloods in 2021”
“I have enjoyed my time in Queensland and am excited to re-join the playing group for pre season.”
Jono won the West Adelaide Best and Fairest award in 2014 and was a member of the 2015 Premiership side and is a highly respected player at West Adelaide and the broader SANFL community.
Known for his courageous marking and elite goal kicking, Jono was picked up as a rookie for the Adelaide Football Club where he spent two seasons and played three AFL matches with goal on debut.
The West Adelaide Football Club welcomes Jono and the entire Beech family back to the West Adelaide Football Club.

Great news for Westies, and the SANFL comp.

Jono Beech came out to the school when I coached the sons footy team.
He was great with the kids.
Some of the players we’ve had out over the years are only there coz they have to be but Jono was great.
Seemed like a good lad.

[Jackal1]

Will Gotch be his coach ?

[Brodlach]

Will Gotch be his coach ?

I think him or Andy Collins

[Jackal1]

Is Scott Thompson likely to coach Norwood ?

Jono is a wonderful guy, and the rest of his family is amazing as well. His father Mick, sister Sheri and young brother Kylan all give up their time voluntarily to assist various charities, in particular St Vinnies. Kylan is also an up-and-coming field umpire; wishing him well in his Year 12 exams which he is sitting at the moment. The family have had to cope through troubled times as well, losing Jono's mum through cancer a few years ago.

Joseph Sinor named Club Champion 2020 at last night's Eagles dinner. Hayes #7 (Nick) off to Victoria next year. Poole now unrecognisable without his "trademark" long hair and beard. The little Viking is no more.

Big loss to the Eagles with Hayes leaving though its probably a sign of the times with all clubs to struggle to keep those players aged 25+. One of the League's best contested marks and good for 20-25 goals per season. With the AFL draft likely to pinch 4-5 players from our club it will be a challenge to recreate this season but the club's depth will hopefully see us through and create opportunities for others.

Big loss in Nick Hayes. Hard to replace.

Does no one lament the "movement" of Poole's beard and hair? It has been a distinctive trademark for years.
