These are blokes in their early 20's who play good footy but do it and enjoy it with there mates. Apparantley these blokes are still training with the creeks but keeping it hush until they get a good offer and are very keen to move on. This once again proves a point and it happened at the bays two years ago when bassani first took the reins, he got the job and with him came 8 or 9 blokes, these 8 or 9 blokes, got good coin, most of them didnt stick around after the game and didnt train except for heuskes and JB and although the team looked good on paper, it didnt jell and most of the local blokes tossed it in because they knew most of the recruits besides the two mentioned above were in it for the coin and not the team.
its sounds good to buy a premiership but can be harmfull in the long run, i think credit has to go to willunga, if they did splash the cash atleast most of the blokes have stuck around and are good team men. Think the club has adopted a culture which most clubs would love to have.
So we've eventually got these names!.. Verco and Walsh.. Like Orange Slicer mentioned the Verco's (Rupert & Will) are both St Peter's boys so I can't see them fronting up for Scotch.. Will has actually brought a mate with him to the Creek and he's since signed a clearance. I don't think his mate would be pleased if he jumped ship now!
As for Andy Walsh he's from Adelaide and he's played one season with us (last year). The travelling was a bit too much being a struggling uni student so he told the club in the off season that he's gonna be playing in town somewhere. Last I heard he was training with Mitcham. His brother Tim, who also plays for us, has been in Canada for about a year.
