Could say this about literally any player. Hell, it's been said about Murphy Reid too.

At some point you have to blame the drafting and well, there's been plenty of posts here highlighting how few of them are still with us. And none became stars at other clubs with better systems after they were delisted or traded by us unless they were already good players with us, like Barrass.

See also: Brander at GWS.

Don't get me wrong, I also do blame the drafting.

I get your point about players like Brander also not doing much, but then again we don't have a lot of our delisted players ending up with other clubs for a reason.

We'll see how Chesser does at Carlton with keen anticipation...

Don't think there's a definitive answer either way tbh

Its some bad drafting, and some bad development. Good teams just do everything better which is why they are good.

One positive at our club is, to me, its does look like talent identification has improved quite alot in the last year or so. Our shambles of a WAFL team is another story

3 issues

No early draft picks for several years

Horrific injury run, early retirement of star players

Not taking advantage of free agency like the top clubs do now
 
Where does Sam Collins rank in the 'worst delistings of all time'?

Oh, Freo.

On a par with " Peter Bell " but at least Bell come back for a second tour of duty after he picked up two Premiership Medals at North.

But probably sits comfortable along side James Clement.

Not quite Andrew McLeod levels
 
Did I read somewhere that Freo somehow could've had Matthew Lloyd?
They certainly could've.
Fremantle had the rights to recruit Andrew McLeod for their inaugural AFL squad in 1994 but instead traded him to the Adelaide Crows for Chris Groom.
