Ah yes the Hogan trade. So did that set back for another 5 years? Are Freo in the bottom 4?By my count, freo have had more first round picks in history than Gold Coast. By about 2:1.
That’s despite dreading our first rounders for guys like hogan, when they could have had King.
No amount of arguing over concessions can paper over the amount of self inflicted gunshot wounds.
Very easy to breeze past Freo when they were 0-10 and crippled with injuries in 2016.Lol, remember you back in 2014/2015 making same mockery.

Ah yes this old chest nut.So many Freo fans up and about.
Amazing list management to not make the finals for 6 years and have Weller, Neale, Hill, Langdon, Cerra all ask to leave. Lobb is next, perhaps Logue - then who?
Call me old fashioned but I'm kind of glad we hung onto our better players when they were 23-26. They're old now and we're rubbish but we were good for a while and we'll be good again one day.
Calm down fella, it took you 8 seasons to breeze past us. That’s nothing to gloat about.Very easy to breeze past Freo when they were 0-10 and crippled with injuries in 2016.
Freo breezed past your mob this season. Why is that?
Hard to tell how many years it cost, but the cumulative effect of having so many players walk out the door has extended your rebuild by a number of seasons. We can say that Hogan has cost you a forward line though, and now that you’re finally a good enough side to play in a final or 2 after missing out for so long, its doubtful you’ve got the firepower up front to get you over the edge. Can’t get much more costly than that. Losing yet another player in Lobb is going to really hurt on that front too, especially now that he has finally earned his keep this year.Ah yes the Hogan trade. So did that set back for another 5 years? Are Freo in the bottom 4?
How's the Tim Kelly trade working out for you?

Man, the celebrating after that preseason win was something to behold alright!There was a large thread and a hashtag of #closertoaflag trending on the Freo board when they smacked us in the 2018 pre-season derby.
For obvious reasons it has been deleted and the hashtag quietly shelved.

Wait ? What do you mean 8 seasons to breeze past your mob? Yeah your mob had your finals run from 2015-2020. You also had your fluke derby streak between 2015-21.Calm down fella, it took you 8 seasons to breeze past us. That’s nothing to gloat about.

The Kelly trade hurt a lot less, we’ve ended up with a quality midfielder for the next 4 seasons or so, yeah we probably overpaid by 1 second rounder - it’s not like we gave away a Brownlow medallist for someone who’s kicking goals in another team. That’s a real doozy.
There has been teams that have won premierships with weak Forward lines. Swans of 2005 was one.?? You guys are not going to win the premiership without a good forward. I know you are not aware, but this is what you need in finals. King would have been that. Different ballgame come finals mate, no matter how many games you win during the season.
So yes, that has set you back 5 years.
Not sure what Kelly has to do with it. We didn’t give up pick 6 for him! And is still performing better than hogan.
Again..... Name all these players at freo that want to leave? Lobb? Maybe?Top of the ladder 2015 mate. Top of the ladder. 2014 finished way above us.
Yeah took you 6 years to breeze past again. Just reminds me of 2014/2015 when your mob was all doom and gloom about us and how freo was on way up.
Keep your players first and then we will see if you breezed past. Looks like many still want to leave.
Well what about this season?There was a large thread and a hashtag of #closertoaflag trending on the Freo board when they smacked us in the 2018 pre-season derby.

DockersWell what about this season?
Who's closer to the flag? Dockers or eagles?

That's a ridiculous take on things.There has been teams that have won premierships with weak Forward lines. Swans of 2005 was one.
Eagles in 2006 was another.
Swans in 2012 was another side too.
While we are at it...... Every team that won a flag from 2016 to 2020 won a flag with a weak Forward line.
None of those sides averaged 100 points a game in attack during the regular season. Ironic because that is what Ross Lyon sides at saints and Freo were faced with criticism for that reason.
A forward line of Fletcher, Q lynch, Jones, Chick, Hansen and Stenglien and swingman Hunter is not a half bad forward line to win a Granny with.Eagles in 2006 was another.
Sorry mate, when Lobb leaves you guys at the end of the year an undersized Treacy, a skinny 20 year old and a busted up Taberner will be the worst forward line in the comp hands down. Blowing your beans on another ruck at the end of the season won’t help much either.So Hogan cost Freo a forward line eh?
Also you said Freo doesn't have the fire power up front to get over that edge. Go look at freos wins this season, especially vs the demons at the MCG. That bloody 2nd half vs the demons was nothing short but impressive.
Rory Lobb wants to leave? Say if he does, any team that wants him, gotta pay overs.
He is contracted until 2023. So freo have the cards. I rather keep Lobb for 2023 for him to help Freo play finals again .
Also, say if freo trades out Lobb, still got Taberner, Tracy and Amiss.
This isn't freos 2012-15 finals side where freos kpf stocks were bare outside an aging Pavlich
Fluke derby streak, yeah right. This will be the first season you’ll finish above us in 8 years. I wouldn’t be bragging about it.Wait ? What do you mean 8 seasons to breeze past your mob? Yeah your mob had your finals run from 2015-2020. You also had your fluke derby streak between 2015-21.
At the same period, Freo had to rebuild from 2016-21. Yeah it was 6 seasons of no finals.
Saying that. Freo would of made finals in any year from 2019-21 if it wasnt for injuries late in the 2nd half of each of those 3 seasons.
Fremantle fans and worrying about what West Coast are doing instead of their own team - name a better duo.
Seen much of Culley mate? First impressions?WC fans puffing up when they dish it out but sooking it up when the boots on the other foot
