Amon Buchanan the second.
 
He is bound to be drafted. Who knows what clubs think of any player but I would have thought he would be a good fit all round at Freo. The fact that Heath is there would help him settle in. I think I read somewhere that Freo was his preferred destination.
But Freo do some strange things at draft time.

True
But freo's "strange draft moves" of late have napped us some good players.

Murphy was a perfect example out of left field that was paid off nicely.
 
FFS, he kicked 4 goals and set up 3 others, IN A QUARTER! I know every young player is supposed to be the next ........, but being compared to Ricciuto is a big rap. Also won the b&f ahead of Marc Murphy and Beau Dowler last year. Seems like a very level headed young man and I'd be happy if we selected him with our 3rd round pick.
 
Problem may be that he's only 180cm. A rookie spot perhaps? That would be terrific if he were to last that long.

He's a passionate Freo supporter - we need to get a few coming through the ranks. Just adds that bit of something extra if they love the club even before they get here. So far we have Dodd, Johnno and Drum who cite Freo as their team prior to being drafted. Any others?

Yeah I love that too. Plus Des wanted to come to us when he was #1 draft pick as well as Hase who was a fan before arriving. And Blackie wanted to return to the club as well.

I do love the fact that we've got players who support us and want to play for us. To hear there's a kid in Melbourne who supports the Dockers passionately makes me grin ear to ear.

I think Des only wore a Freo shirt to the draft because we had pick 2 and he hoped that not so subtle message would discourage the lions from picking him up. If west coast had pick 2 he would have worn their colours to the draft.

A big performance in the TAC cup grand final saw Dale Thomas rocket from mid-first round to the number 2 pick. I wouldn't be surprised if Dean's performance moves him from a 50/50 chance of being drafted to a late 2nd/early 3rd round selection.

:o

Actually, my daughter, who is Hase's biggest admirer (after Jordo perhaps), once asked him who he barracked for before he got drafted. She was devastated when he answered "West Coast Eagles." :thumbsd:

Then she said, but what about now, would you want to play for them now? He laughed and said, 'no way, it's Freo for ever for me now.' :thumbsu:

Go Hase! :D
 
The story goes (apparently), some bloke king hit Blackie's bro (the same one?? I remember seeing his brother at the Family Christmas Do last year, looking after Blackie's kids while Blackie did the official stuff, and he looked a lot older than 17). Blackie came in to remonstrate, then the cops arrived. Blackie was the one in it when they arrived, the cops tried to separate it - Blackie pushed the (female) cop... and was charged.
