Jimmy Miller relocating to Melbourne

We are in for a world of pain. Must be 15-17 players gone in 3 years, most of them premiership players!! Didn't know about Dragovich and Miller leaving is a massive blow on and off field. Schlensog wanting to play but not at SF is a sign of bad bad things. 
 

Dogman, Jimmy Miller is a huge loss, would be in my top 10 players in the comp. Wonder if it's a case of had enough of the current regime, or getting a better deal over at Port Melbourne due to the salary cap restriction placed on SF due to the cap debacle.

Jimmy Miller got an offer he couldn't refuse at his age 
the VFL reserves is deliberately cashed up by the VFL
WAFL clubs don't have a chance competing with it

Has he gone there for work or purely for the footy opportunity / cash?

Never got to get any value out of Ah Chee. Dragovich only coming back for a year is strange too. Higgins, a failed comeback due to injury. Broadbent, never eventuated unfortunately. Schlensog was expected to come back but that seems to be not happening which with Miller leaves us in a shocking spot.

I reckon Stephens and / or Drage may get rookied somewhere too.

We need about 10 players now and some chemistry quick or else we could be battling for some years to come.

Not being a smart arse.
But I wonder if you managed Broadbent the right way.
You got him from Peel because of more opportunity.
But seemingly didn't give it to him.
I would love to see the DEES pursue him, again.

Kobe Watson to Port Melbourne in the VFL, same as Miller

Connor McDonald from PFC to SFFC.

Who is Connor McDonald?

Younger brother of Logan.  I believe he wanted to move to Swans last year so something's going on there. Sounds like he's not getting the attention he thinks he should be getting from AFL clubs and thinks it's Perth's fault. 

Might be part of the deal involving Schlensog being cleared to Perth.
