One star in Treloar one very good player at the end of his career in Jones and few handy players. In the period you have quoted we have lost Dunkley, Lipinski, Stringer, Smith, Macrae, Daniel, Dalhaus, Cordy, Hunter, Sweet from memory. I think like Australia we are in a trade deficit.

How far do you want to go back? Shall I keep going?
Not all were stars but some decent players in that list. Those in bold...
Dees gave up Docherty's pick so we were in the right
Can only blame Clarke, he put out a media release with us saying he doesn't care about the financials and he wants to come home.
Then Dees upped their offer and he changed his mind, Bond at the time said it would have made him our highest...
...We wanted to trade pick 20, Brisbane wanted 16.
Melbourne saw a opening flew to Brisbane met with Mitch Clark offered him more money, suddenly he wasn't homesick anymore and Melbourne trumped us with pick 12.
After all that we were squabbling over picks for Tom Sherridan or HaydenCrozier 😩
...Rhys Palmer dud
2008: Stephen Hill injury prone
2009: Anthony Morabito injuries
2010: Jayden Pitt retired with a heart condition
2011: Tom Sheridan or HaydenCrozier at pick 16 or 20... Average
2012: Josh Simpson attitude problems
2013: Michael Apeness injuries
2014: Lachie Weller solid player.

The kicker is the period from 2016(pre lim, very close to a flag) onwards to the present .
Played another couple pre lim plus GF and finals most years and yet to still have 2-3 first rounders flowing through EVERY year is insane.
Not even taking into account 2nd rounders aswell (which I think...
Yeah I remember I worked this out years ago and was blown away by it.
It's laughable anyone would compare us to them. Especially when Melbourne is a 2 hour flight from Sydney.
...chose over Jack Darling. 20 games in 3 or 4 seasons and forced to reitire with a heart illness
2011: It was Tom Sheridan at 16 and HaydenCrozier at 20. Average role players.
2012: Josh Simpson. talented but impatient and had a bad attitude
2013: Michael Apeness. Made sense as we hoped cam...
We appealed HaydenCroziers tackle in 2020.

...definite interest in is Will McLachlan who is the leading goalkicker in the Talent League.
The rest of the names were mature age: HaydenCrozier (30) from Surfers Paradise (and formerly the Western Bulldogs and Freo), Luke McKay (27) from Woodville West Torrens (and formerly Narrandera), and...
Freo has had this annoying obsession with persisting with bad bottom six players. Tommy Sheridan and HaydenCrozier still getting games after 40 matches... nuts.
Of those the only ones I'd give a star to are Hamling, Biggs, Martin and Crozier.
Stevens, Gowers, Lloyd and Hannan were serviceable and it could be argued Gardner belongs here aswell.
Jury is still out on the newest four.
I think the biggest issue with that list is we brought them in too late...

Would the Freo list under ross lyon have been better off with the draft uncompromised or a leg up like other teams have got?
if Port of Freo whom Ross was in a similar situation had the list build with another draft concession, father son it would have helped. Wether ken is the right guy or...
...to nail their drafts.
West coast in that 2010 draft got Andrew Gaff, Scott Lycett, Jack Darling and Jeremy McGovern. 3 of those 4 blokes played in the 2018 premiership squad.
Dockers in 2011 got Tom Sheridan, HaydenCrozier, Lachie Neale and Cam Sutcliffe. Neale won a brownlow, just not at...
How about Lachie Schultz, Blake Acres, Darcy Tucker, Lloyd Meek, Adam Cerra, Jesse Hogan, Brad Hill, Ed Langdon, Lachie Neale, Lachie Weller and HaydenCrozier?
All Colin Young?
I asked the question on Thursday - in recent years, across the entire competition how many former All Australians on the younger side of 30 have been omitted from the best 22? I can name Darcy Byrne Jones in 2023, Matt Crouch in 2022 and Jake Stringer in 2016. Oh, and Caleb Daniel + Jack Macrae...

Alex Keath: went from being near-AA quality + 6th in B&F in 2020 and 2021 and then completely fell off a cliff.
HaydenCrozier: back-to-back top 10 B&F finishes, offered a new contract in 2020 (taking him through to 2023) but faded away.

Sad to see Jamieson ("The Dram") Ballantyne depart.
Wasn't there anybody with a name something like Laphraoig Bushmills that we could replace him with?
Ok so we’ve already had Gavin Wanganeen and HaydenCrozier appear on the show under pseudonyms and now we get Chad Wingard.
Something is seriously going on.
Yes I am aware of who left and my response is perfectly encapsulated by my previous post. I don't care if you agree or not.
Except the great Harley Balic, we'll probably never recover from that one.
We got better footballers back
Acres doesn’t even hurt for me only the initial hogan trade where we could of nab a King.
Would you prefer Weller over brayshaw?
Hill over serong?
If you hadn’t had a fwd for 10 years
Cerra over Amiss?
Harley balic? Darcy tucker?
2024 Hamling?
