I have sorted Freo's players into the following lists:

Very Good. fyfe, mundy, serong, Brayshaw, darcy, Ryan
Good. Sturt, Switta, Walters, Young, Taberner, Hamling,
Average. Shultz, Logue, Crowden, Wilson, Pearce, Cox, Fredericks, Treacy, Colyer,
Depth. Tucker, Banfield, Acres, Hughes, Blakely, Meek,
Too Early to tell. Henry, Valente, Chapman, O Driscoll, Western, Walker,

The point to all this - I think for us to be a serious finals contender we need more players that fall into the good/very good category than the average/depth category. At the moment we have too many average players. (And yes, going off his 2021 form, Pearce is an average player)
 
Good:

  • Darcy emerging as one of the best rucks in the league.
  • Brayshaw developing into either a very good or elite AFL midfielder.
  • Serong building on his Rising Star form.
  • Producing a high level of scoring shots (particularly early in the year) and seeing an improvement in our offensive gameplan.

Bad:

  • Tackles and pressure.
  • Accuracy
  • Walter's poor form continues.
  • Failing to retain Cerra.

Ugly:

  • That percentage.
  • Getting blown out against Carlton, West Coast, Geelong, Sydney, etc.
  • The injury list.

Sturts played about 1 good game. Think we can ease off him being "good".

Regardless of who we replace Cerra with, focus for pre-season should be: 1) accuracy 2) tackling skills 3) strength & conditioning

Totally agree that Young is already good. A good run with injury and he will be our best player within 3 years. I seriously rate him that highly, his ability to both read and then create the play means he will rack up massive numbers off half back and be involved in everything.
I think Walker, Frederick, Sturt and possibly Switta are possibles to break into ‘good’ status next season, while Mundy will inevitably drop at some point in the next 2-7 years.

Mundy will inevitably drop at some point in the next 27 years.

People’s punctuation these days !!!!.
