Club Focus Fremantle - Chapman, O'Driscoll, Walker, Western, Treacy

Data from footywire. To check the draft order (updated weekly) see the thread here.

Elliot yes. Him Henry and Walters could work well together. What would Hoskin-Elliot cost at the trade table? A couple of years ago I thought he would be a gun. Connor Blakely probably available. Im not sure how much interest you would have in him. It would depend if the salary cap issues that some have talked about involving Collingwood are true.

I wouldn't want to trade WHE, somehow managed to stay relevant in games when we made it so hard for all the other forwards all year.

Hawks rumoured to be interested in Elliot this year, he pretty much plays the same role as Walters, although I imagine you guys wouldn't mind that.

Heard from a couple of media sources - Twomey and McArdle - that Freo are very much into Chapman.

The questions are:

1. Will he be still available for them to pick around 15? I doubt it.
2. Do they need another tall defender? Already have Logue, Cox, Hamling and Pearce

Always a tough one to predict, my mob.

please not another defender. Someone who can add something different to the front half of the ground is needed. From my very limited study of this year’s draft I see Archie Perkins as the right option, but freo will probably miss him by a few picks.

As much as I want to use our 1st rounder on a KPF, Freo will use their 1st rounder on a mid

I daresay we will have no choice. All the top talls will be gone by pick 15.

I daresay we will have no choice. All the top talls will be gone by pick 15.

The closest Freo will get to using a 1st tall forward is by recruiting another 190cm tall midfielder.

Yeah seems most of the decent tall forwards will be gone by pick 10.

Still.... I think Freo will get a tall forward on the rookie list

 

[Freomaniac]

So we had picks 12, 32, and 55.

Freo now has pick 56 and 63 from the crows but traded it for a 2021 4th rounder.

Fremantle did really well in the draft.

Fremantle have nailed the draft over the last three years. Now it’s all about keeping the young core together and adding some experienced senior players via trade/free agency to complement your list.

Did Freo go into a points deficit with the pick matching?

Nah we were punting late picks into the Yarra at the end there

All I cared about is hoping that our 1st round pick turns out ok.

I have posted this before and will post it Again....

Freos 1st round picks from 2007-14 is nothing short but disastrous. either injury prone players or average players or players that were talented but didnt have the dedication or talented players with off field problems.

2007: Rhy Palmer (Yep the bloke that won the 2008 rising star over cyril)
2008: Stephen Hill
