I can't really see Kersten getting a game next year at Geelong with the likes of Hawkins, Stanley, Clarke and the likely inclusions of Henderson and Smith. They are going to have a lot of talls going through their forward line.

We are all hanging out for an early trade but, deep down, all us poor flogs know that nothing will happen until 45 mins before next Weds deadline.

Every club knows that Freo are desperate for a key forward and will play hardball with us. This is the legacy of 6 yrs of poor list management.

Looking at you - Mr Bond.

But the club's judgment, while spot-on at times, also has brought us Scott Gumbleton and Colin Sylvia.
It's no different to hiring an employee - you can read their resume, get them to do extensive behavioural and aptitude tests, group interview them, check their references thoroughly - but sometimes you can still get a dud. It doesn't mean the model is a failure - overall it works, there's just an element of risk with everything you do. You make your best move against what's available in the market.

Those who expect a 100% record of success are delusional at best

6 years of poor list management has gotten us to a grand final, consecutive finals, our first brownlow medallist, finishing top for the first time..

Sure it's not a premiership but we're thereabouts with one of the strongest midfields around and will be for years yet - hardly a failure. We net McCarthy and a tall or two and suddenly the list managers will be geniuses. A fickle bunch our supporters
