    Your club's best 3 consecutive AFL National draft picks

    The 2008 draft for Freo goes a little further than the first three. Hill, Ballantyne, Suban, Clarke and Walters were five consecutive picks in that draft. They all played in the 2013 Grand Final five years later and played 100+ games for the club.

    Ross Lyon: Will He Coach Again?

    No it was three. Four if you include the replay. 2009,2010 and 2013.

    Will the Tim Kelly trade go down as one of the worst ever ?

    Why is this on the main board? It's clearly a troll and deserves to be on the bay. Kelly had a disappointing year but still had his moments and will be an important part of the Eagles team going forward. Clearly this is nowhere near the worst trade ever.

    Should Richmond play Week 2 at Adelaide Oval

    It may also be 'smart' for St Kilda or the Bulldogs to play at Adelaide Oval as 'practice'. There's no guarantees Richmond will go through

    Fremantle Under Longmuir

    What's funny is that twelve months ago I was seriously worried about the development of Brayshaw, Cerra, Logue and Darcy. I wasn't sure if they were going to take the next step. The point that myself and other Freo fans are trying to make is that during this season - nearly all of the players...

    Fremantle Under Longmuir

    Adulation? The OP's intention of this thread is to criticise Longmuir and his game style. I think the early responses hit the nail on the head. It's too early to judge as we are less than one (unusual) season in. I think we'll be in a better position to assess next season. Additionally, your...

    Fremantle Under Longmuir

    However the sh*t really hit the fan after that article was written. Bolton lost 9 in a row and only one win from his next 13 matches. I hate to even mention the following three seasons under Bolton.

    Fremantle Under Longmuir

    To go back to the OP's original thoughts - as a Freo fan, I'm pretty upbeat about our direction of travel. I wasn't convinced with Longmuir at his appointment but been very impressed with the development of the young players and the progress since we lost our first four. Ross Lyon loved the...

    Most likeable players

    Nic Nat, Josh Kennedy, Boak, Bradley Hill, Pendles, Harry Taylor, Sloane and Dane Rampe for me.

    News Willie Rioli: tampered with drug testing sample; tests positive for cannabis

    I agree on the weed however they need to set a precedent with tampering. It leaves a get out of jail card for players to ‘only’ receive 12 months if they are taking PEDs. It’s pretty heartbreaking as marijuana is clearly not performance enhancing and Willie seems like a genuinely good person.

    Eagles attempts at goal kicking.

    I think if you look at the accurancy across the competition it would be down from twenty years ago. A couple of things to note. Firstly, in the early 90s forwards would stay in the forward line with many not having to leave their forward 50. The way the game is played these days, forwards need...

    Ross Lyon is synonymous with Ugly football

    Few years? I'll give you two more. In five years time the following will be in their prime: Fyfe 27, Walters 27, Hill 28, Clarke 28, Suban 28, De Boer 28, Morabito 27, Pearce 28, Sheridan 24, Neale 25, Crozier 24, Sutcliffe 26, Hannath 27. Not to mention Barlow at 30, Mayne 29, Spurr 31...

    Natanui? Really?

    Said the guy who started a thread once he saw Natanui wasn't included in a AFL weekly highlights package.

    Kirk to Freo

    If they kept up while Cousins was at his peak I'm sure they will be fine.

    Nic Nat Complaining About Ruck Tactic.

    I don't like the tactic by Pyke but can't the Eagles make a formal complaint to the AFL? They love to have a public whinge on the Monday. Same happened before the Derby, Kerr complained about the tactics of taggers and he received a number of soft free kicks the next week.

    Carlton Website - Brendon Goddard player profile?

    Re: Herald Sun say Goddard to Carlton... lol. Didn't notice that. This guy doesn't know his arse from his elbow let alone prospective trades.

    Carlton Website - Brendon Goddard player profile?

    Your clubs lowest point?

    2001 was a devastatingly low period for the club. Maybe it was my young naivety at the time however but I was still optimistic about the future. We had a lot of close games, we just couldn’t get over the line. We couldn’t win games. We were missing Bell for most of the year but there was...

    First Year AA

    Thats a bit harsh. He's 5th on disposals this year behind Ablett, Montagna, Swan and Chapman with an efficency rate of 72%.. Very similar to that of Ablett's and Chapman's and 6% higher than Montagna's. Last weeks game wasn't his best but his form this year has been fantastic. You would imagine...

    Harry O’Brien is irritating!

    So true.. Iv'e been waiting for something this witty since the UK 'office' finished about 7 years ago.. Understand its great that he wants to make a difference but the way he goes about it and strives for the attention is cringeworthy at times.

    Polak has arrived

    I dont think you ever did hear that right... Freo supporters all knew the potential and talent he could produce, and i can clearly remember the tiger supporters calling him a dud and not worth more than a 3rd round pick when trade week was on last year...
