Game Day 2014 National Draft

[clogged]

Like Priddis ... but can kick.

Maybe my memory is focused too much on the end of Kerr's career, where he didn't do much. He did play very well in his early years, but he was always 3rd in line after Judd and Cousins. His output dropped considerably when Judd left, and then plummeted when Cousins left.

They left at the same time.

They left at the same time.

The illusion was from that huge lay off Cousins had at the start of 2007.

 

[jusjoshin]

They left at the same time.

Oh yeah, they did too. I was thinking Cousins started straight up at Richmond, but he had a year on the sidelines didn't he (2008).

Still, after 2007 Kerrs form took a massive dive.

West Coast recruited very well when Rob Willy was at the club with Malthouse .
Worsfold inherited a great list but during his time as coach the ball was dropped .
Smart however had a very good eye for talent but was let down by Swab and Connelly who chased instant success .
Smart is still having an influence on who we recruit today with the 2 picks in the latest draft from Swan Districts .
The guy I would love to have back at Fremantle on the coaching panel is Larry Kickett .
Yes he is still coaching and involved with Premiership winning country football teams .
Woodside employed him for quite a few years as an social worker and football coach .
He is now coaching a team in the eastern wheat belt area I believe .

Why the Kerr love from a Saints supporter on the Freo board?Everybody is agreeing with you, Kerr was awesome, we all just happen to think that Barlow is pretty good too, if not a slightly different style of player. Stop trolling for a fight.

my apologies, i didnt realise this was the freo board (you wont believe me but what ever). i thought it was the main draft and trading board. i had clicked on participated in the iPhone app

I dont think I have ever witnessed a Freo supporter overrate our players even once.

Was just on the Wet Toast board. Must say they are quite obsessed with Freo as of late. Apparantly the Rnd 3 derby is going to define there season.

Then they have a sect of posters who can't get past comparing Lamb to Blakely. Putting down Blakely as ordinary while talking up Lamb's X-factor, sounds more like they are trying to convince themselves.

Plenty of Weller/Duggan and Blakely/Lamb discussions to come in 2015.

Comparing these players is a ridiculously stupid and impossible to do at this stage of their careers which is why it comes as no surprise that it's coming from that board.

The moment I discovered how truely obsessed with Freo eagles fans are was when I was flying home from the 06 Grand final (I was sure we would make it). These three eagles fans behind me on the plane literally talked about Freo the entire flight. They had just won a flag! These oldies literally spent 5 hours talking about Freo. That was when I knew.

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

WC seemed to try to balance out the selection of Duggan, who looks like a good player lacking x-factor as do many on their list, with Lamb, who looks more like a boom or bust prospect. They should be happy with their selections although personally I prefer Weller to Duggan at that selection, and Blakely sounds terrific and dangerous. I don't think they need Blakely, and while we possibly don't either he just looks too good an option at that selection.

Our requirements are different with players such as Hill, Fyfe, Walters and Ballantyne oozing x-factor, and I am pretty happy with the decision to select players who seem to have high chance of turning into very decent players. Both Blakely and Weller look like potential A-graders in the making, while perhaps lacking the x-factor.

That's because they wouldn't know what a good young midfielder looks like.

Love the Freudian slip with Robs last name...I think that's why he got the chop from West Coast.
Cutting someone's lunch.

I read his post as being ironic. Now i'm not so sure.

I don't believe that!
Everything I have ever heard and my limited interaction with Rob Wiley is that he has terrific character, fantastic developer of youth footy programs despite having had a terrible run in his personal life with his wife dying of cancer very young.

Yes, all above is correct and the rumors are 100% false.

Whenever on BF they try and make the claim that we are obsessed with them I just point to the 2013 thread on their team board solely devoted to following our finals campaign, pretty much cant beat that..
