It's starting to look like if you're from WA and you want to come home, then we'll trade for you, whether there's a need or not. The other three from last year - all good trades. Year before - Hamling tick, Wilson tick, Matera - he's gone backwards, and Kersten... ummm why (apart from he's Hammer's BF).I wasn't a fan of the Matera trade at the time, and he's done nothing to change my mind. A small forward needs to be opportunistic when the time comes and he butchers so many involvements.
Unfortunately the Colyer trade is looking similar, if not worse.
Right. Two blokes who don't play and a dude who was dropped to Peel.Switta and Schultz. Plus Matera by trade too.
F**k knows what they saw in Colyer but I guess you could argue him too maybe?
They clearly haven't ignored the need for small forwards in the team.
I love the “sack the fitness staff” comments. Makes me giggle. I’m sure if Cox didn’t hurt his hand last week, he certainly wouldn’t have done a hammy today. Hahaha.

You're not helping restore my faith in the List Manager.
100% agreeI'm not normally a pessimist with Freo but I feel like I have turned a blind eye for too long regarding the rotten support staff, skills, and team structure. We do well for the first quarter, hiding poor skills with immense pressure, but as soon as the opposition begins to mount that pressure back onto us or our players tire, everything goes to ****. It's like a bloody rotten shed, kick in the door and the whole thing collapses.

No worries bro. Save this chat for round 18. Let's have the same chat then when we are solid bottom of the ladder.
Talk then.
I am an inaugural member. I know how this season will turn out. I admire your confidence

Exhibit A of an eagles supporter. A grade flog. What were the commentators saying? 8 score involvements? Not bad for 10 months off imo. 20 touches 1.2Hey boys, how many did your prized recruit Hogan kick today ?
That's wasn't the argument I was replying to though. It was whether the penny had dropped at Freo that small forwards were important.

Ok let's see. Freo will finish bottom 4. Have not improvedNah mate, I think you should keep the flexing and save it for next years JLT series.
JLT > Premiership Season
You think it has? 2 picks in 2 years. Both mature age, both late picks. Clearly a high priority. Have a look who the good clubs are targeting. Speed, skill and smarts.
There’s only so many he can eat in a day. Full as a boot that boy
C'mon, one of the guys you were melting over the eagles picking up was a mature age mid-range pick too. One many laughed at on here due to the way one of our fringe players would blanket him in the WAFL every time they met. Judging using the benefit of hindsight is easy though isn't it?
Small forwards aren't traditionally a position that clubs spend high draft picks on.
Great post. Highlights a big flaw in our drafting. We prefer forwards to chase and tackle than hit the scoreboard. The ones we have don't even do much of the latter past about 1/4 time. About the only exciting small to medium forward we've drafted Sturt is years away and will have to do a 3 year apprenticeship at half back by which time all the flair will have been knocked out of him.One shouldn’t judge a draft pick by the opinions of Freo Bigfooty posters. WC obviously saw a need for speed and natural forward flair and went at him, with an earlyish pick. Took the risk on Rioli too. Because he had what they wanted, again, speed and natural forward flair. Both are working out just fine.
Venables is a medium forward that they went early on. Pettrucelle, the quickest of the lot, even though they had a few by then, went not much later. Waterman was a lucky father son.
And even after having all of those, they went and took Cameron.
The Tigers took Rioli and Higgins with first round picks. Shea Bolton with a second. Then have since stockpiled Butler, Graham, Baker, Castagna, based a game plan around it and won a flag.
I think you're still allowed to watch football if the team you support isn't playing finals.You boys never fail to disappoint hey!!
What do you guys plan on doing during September out of interest ??
Cameron was an academy player.And even after having all of those, they went and took Cameron.
