Pretty much like Will Brodie, for tallish type players cant take a contested overhead mark (compare that to Hase)

Look at what Tom Green didn't do in the contest.

No back up?
Draper?
We brought in Mcdonald?
We have drafted 2 key backmen with second rounders in the last few years.
We have back up. Whether they are good enough or not is uo for debate but coming at the club for this is ignorant imo

His equal lowest clearances this year and his only sub-11 CPs game this year.
Honestly, the better response is that it wasn't just down to Ras, Johnno did his bit too. Considering so much of what we do revolves around clearance and contest, blunting the impact of maybe the best contest mid in the game is a pretty big deal.
Really though? Draper is a NGA pick. McDonald is a delisted free agent
It hasn’t been a priority. Unfortunately Fremantle can’t have players in the state league waiting to have a chance, as Victorian clubs are always pouncing.

I think Boomer93's post was fair. Pearce himself was an end of 2nd round pick and we've invested similar draft capital into Davies and Ollie Murphy, not to mention a 1st round pick into Logue.
Not sure how much more of a priority clubs usually put on key defenders unless it's the rare cases like Weitering.
And I'm not following your logic that you expected the club to have a quality back up while also conceding we can't have quality sitting in the state league without them being poached.
Wasn’t a priority bc up until 2022 we had Logue, Hamling and Cox. Two of those guys were 24. And the years before we had even more. Probably thought we were set for a few more years longer. It’s not like we had the draft picks to get a ready made KPD in the draft and not feasible getting one in trade with how much they are.
We got a KPD with our first pick in 2022, and our second pick in 2023. Recruited a solid VFL defender in OMac. Draper in the NGA too. Couldn’t have really done much more with our hand. Unless you wanted us to trade away for a first rounder to get the best KPD in the draft?
I stand by my comment. His legs are like seagulls and has always had issues with them whether he has played most games or not it’s an ongoing issue. Brayshaw or serong are the true leaders of the club. Whether the players see that or not lol
Time for the boys to act like men and throw some testosterone around and get the w this is arguably a season defining game .You don’t want to loose this and then head east to face the pies after a L. Time for a statement by the freo team. Let it rain purple
We played finals with Brodie in 2022 and since then our midfield has often been bullied by bigger midfields so I understand the criticism. It's also understandable that he just goes through the motions at Peel now after being locked in the basement for over 2 years. It would be deflating.
At seasons end they should really pay Brodie out and delist him. If he can't get a run with Young, O'Driscoll, Fyfe, O'Meara all injured he'll never be picked so it's a waste of a list spot.

Brodie stopped being as effective in the second half of 2022 as teams figured him out, I don't know why he's such a saviour figure.
Losing Mundy after 2022 made a big difference to our midfield.

Tonight at half time, we're gonna honour a player who also could've found being dropped to the WAFL deflating and go through the motions. He ended his career as a top 6 Docker of all time.
It'd be one thing if there was loads of oppo interest in him. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's a Brodie problem.
Freo basically never pay players out. To your point, he's a waste to keep around right now. But especially if we lose Ras, probably not worth paying Brodie out. He's the type I can see suddenly training the house down in a contract year.
The club gave him a long deal in March 2023 which makes it even more of a head scratcher.
By giving him a long deal then not picking him when O'Meara, Young, O'driscoll and Fyfe were all injured is a waste of 400k and a list spot.
There's guys like Mitch Crowden and Brady Grey that I thought could be handy role players but were delisted which is fine. But signing a bloke then never picking him when your midfield is under sized is bizarre.

Lacks pace, slow decision maker, poor skills.
If he goes to WC it's quite possible that he'll play every week because their list is so poor but we won't miss him IMO.
Guys like Weller, Cerra, Logue have left with much more ability than Erasmus and we haven't missed them.
I'd take a 3rd rounder in a heart beat.
Hey now, don’t worry about tactics. Everyone says we “must win” therefore we win!
Even though we’re unbalanced, way too tall, scared of the bright lights, and tactically poor. We need to win this so it’ll just happen apparently.

Please do. He's not even Priddis levels.
