Logue amounted to nothing more than a medium sized defender.

the podcast wasn't bad

Zero chemistry with Mundy. Clark and Drisco are much more entertaining.

 

[freo84]

He was.
A pick 8 and can’t really do anything but run to spoil. Waste.
McGovern is a rookie pick.
Stewart was a pick 50.

Shai Bolton was in the same draft. Pick 19. Even at the time I couldn’t understand why Logue was so high. All reports just said he’s an athlete. So?

Logue amounted to nothing more than a medium sized defender. Could’ve been a decent medium forward such as Mayne, but wanted to be a defender.

It's not Logue's fault we took him at pick 8.

 

[CapitalA]

Maybe if we had a coach players actually wanted to play under we could start luring those sort of players over like Fagan did.

Maybe, but Brisbane is also a lot closer to vic.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Maybe, but Brisbane is also a lot closer to vic.

Less media attention as well.

I think that is a big appeal of both Sydney and Queensland teams. If we get pickett, then our forward line is roughly this.



Treacy, Jackson, Amiss
Switta, Pickett, Dudley, Reid, Bolton

Reid and Bolton 50% midfield time.

Depth
Voss - very good depth. Riddle looks good as well.
Sturt - if he can get fit (I have my doubts), he is great depth player.
Banfield, JOM, Erasmus, Frederick etc

 

[dont bowl there]

Players aren’t going to QLD cos it’s closer to Vic. As go the dockers said, they can sell an under the radar lifestyle that some players really love. Basically the same reason why some players choose Geelong over Melb sides. It’s not something we can ever compete with given the Perth fishbowl but that could appeal to some as well.

 

[Wizard]

Luke Jackson is starting to look more and more like a first ruck by the week.....

 

[yeahyeahyeah]

probably put Bolton in the forward line too

 

[go_the_dockers]

Ok, we are playing 8 forwards.

Reid and Bolton 50% Midfield time.

 

[Purple Suit]

You were the number one cheerleader for getting him in , I was one of the main ones arguing ti keep drafting

Not much use us talking about it really

Why did you bring it up then?

Murphy Reid is currently leading the rising star voting with his start to the season. If we didn’t get Bolton, we would have two extra kids but the chances are they just play WAFL for 2-3 years anyway. The mix was a good call and will look genius if Reid for fills his potential.

 

[thistimeforsure]

He’s a must have.
Drafting.. for what reason?

Walls is pretty bloody good at it

Stick to what you’re good at and good things happen

 

[thistimeforsure]

Why did you bring it up then?

Liked the look of quite a few of the rookies playing at the moment

 

[Stevooo3940]

Cox needs to go. So disinterested and looks nervous. We always talk about him intercepting when we have Pearce playing but it just doesn't seem to happen. Can we offload him to one of the SA clubs and pursue Leek Aleer? Not getting a look in at GWS unless injury strikes. Out of contract at season's end and has talent to burn!

We don’t need another KPD. Draper played that role last year and was fine in his second season. We’re too tall as a backline.

And Leek Aleer isn’t going from being depth at GWS to depth at Freo. If he becomes best 22, we either stay a ridiculously tall backline or Draper requests a trade 2026 or 2027. It isn’t happening.

If Cox gets traded we bring in a small/medium defender with an above average kick on them.

If Cox wants a trade it would most likely be to one of the SA clubs so Id rather trade him and get picks that we then use to help get Picket. Id be happy with a trade of Cox (picks from a SA club) and our first pick for Picket currently. We desperately need Picket and we (in my opinion) dont need Cox at his current level of performance anyway.

 

[gungho]

I'm pretty sure Cox is on a long term contract isn't he? You can't just trade away someone like that unless they request it.
Another reason to not rush into long term contracts.

 

[freo_leo29]

I'd look like a first ruck against Bailey Williams

 

[Purpletown]

Cox is an expensive, long term liability currently. His only asset is his marking and if the ball hits the ground then he gets found out.

His forward craft is questionable and he prefers to play as a back.

He may be able to recapture his best form with some extra motivation from the coaching staff and the selection committee. I.e. drop him and make him work hard to get back into the side.

 

[greatgatsby]

Longmuir is right not to channel Goodwin on this but Cox has had a lot going on personally. Maybe let him work into his season a bit.

 

[Mainy66]

I notice that Zac the son of the coach is playing colts for Subiaco this year. Whatever happens with JL, let’s not burn a bridge with him - his son might turn out to be a jet.

 

[Moo]

The list is in as good a shape as I can remember (which basically includes these guys)




We've got talent across all lines and it's where we're at ....we can all play would've and could've in retrospect.

Logue as a draftee had athleticism off the charts and might have ended up as Patty Cripps type but I'm OK with that dice roll.

Focusing on the now - Shai just has something, in what was a game not near his best he still demanded a lot of attention and he's the type of guy that in a finals series can just win it. Glad he's in purple.

Plenty to like, list management here becomes a fine tuning event. Don't need to push all the chips into the middle, don't need to sell the world for Kosi or Warner .....have the feeling Melbourne will be knocking on our door season's end looking for picks to convince their fanbase that the rebuild is starting.

Warner - he is either with us or Sydney ....West Coast is going to be a train wreck by season's end.

Our list changes will almost select themselves over next couple of seasons - Sonny, Aish, & Fyfe all on final year. Erasmus probably shopped or walks (also final year).

Next year Banfield and Brodie are out of contract.

I like your thinking.

Let's go a step further and find 5 or 6 really good colts players, emancipate them and have Pav adopt them - father & son our way to the top before the AFL outlaws this loophole.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Does seem that way. Especially watching the footage of the boys entering the rooms after the game.

 

[sumavich]

Apparently Sam Mitchell was here yesterday, talking to Oscar Allen, also interested in Harley.
Might have to check if he spoke to any Freo players?

Arrr, the 1885 team .
What a train wreck (steam train) . The coach was shit. Mumbles when talking with the press.
Slow ball ball movement, I blame the mids, to many place kicks.
Shit draft in1884.
Missed finals again.

Doesn’t he have a team to coach
