East Perth coaches included head coach Tony Micale, former West Coast Eagles David Wirrapunda and David Hynes and ex-Busselton player Brendan Lee.

Talent manager Garry Moss said the club was looking for individuals with the potential to play colts in the next couple of years and to join its under-14 and under-16 development programs.

South West football development manager Shane Atherton said it was fantastic the East Perth club decided to bring such a high calibre of coaches to Busselton.

Ben Cousins had been tipped to attend but had to pull out of the trip.
