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)
