Where to now? It's 2020 and it appears we most certainly had no succession plan here. More and more it looks like we should have placated a few egos and maintained a quality list manager. There's a fair chance Agresta will do the job now, and if not, we could end up with someone with a profile not much bigger than his anyway.

Seems like we were given a flurry of information by the itks when SOS departed and zero since. Not sure we can read anything into it, though you would hope there would be an announcement of some sort if SOS isn't being replaced.

Seems unlikely that any big names are going to leave their club in the lurch so close to the season starting. The ITKs have said we aren't looking at certain individuals, but I can't help but wonder if we were looking at one of the ones who re-signed with their club.

I also wonder if some were scared off by the apparent bad blood when SOS left.

I'm not that worried about getting a big name, I would like one from an elite recruiting club though. That was why Walls/Freo didn't rock my world. It would be amiss of Liddle to weaken the most critical department in the club though.

I think Freo's drafting has been half decent in the last couple of years.

We have most definitely weakened the department, in some attempt to be united and of a singular mindset going forward. I've always been of the view that you support your staff until their performance in their key area drops off. I also don't mind conflicting ideas.

Surely this person has to be in place before any football is played? They have to negotiate expiring contracts, receive scouting reports, attend junior matches and other AFL matches for potential trade targets. Then there is the mid-season draft as well.

not to mention availability for regular public floggings.........

If you were to name top 8 for recruiting in the last 5 years I'm not sure Freo gets a spot. I think Carlton would. Not many on this forum wanted SOS gone, but we weren't the ones working with him.

Not sure. 2014, 2016 and 2017 were successful drafting years for Freo. 2015 wasn't but not necessarily their fault (Balic and Shane Yarran), 2018 too early to tell and no early picks. 2019 looks very good on paper. Walls was head recruiter for 6 years. The core of their future team comes from this group just like ours does.

I think Freo over the last 4 years since they started rebuilding has been excellent. They have brought in a lot of quality youngsters and also some handy senior players. I’ve been impressed with them

If two people in a department always agree, one of them is irrelevant in any discussions.
