Hold up, Freo's drafting record post 1999 hasn't been that bad considering the picks at our disposal (Trading is another issue entirely).
Lets pretend for a moment that Freo's drafting is allot worse than most of the competition...What does that have to do with a club choosing to play it safe draft day?
Rich is no Judd or Ablett...Hill is closer to those types.
Rich is potentially a Kerr or Bartell type..
However way too early too call, lets remember we are TWO games into their careers...
How about west cost taking a punt on NickNat??? That sit well with you?
Typical eagle arrogance to dish out advice to the mob down the road that isn't good enough for their own team.

It has been stated that WC knew Melbourne would not take Swift and therefore WC took Shoey... Well done Melbourne they are not in a position to take that risk with their current list...
The fact that Rich is a Kerr/Bartell type is beside the point... Freo do not have the luxury of giving up this type of player (few teams do? Maybe why Carlton didn't pick him...) It is a crazy/stupid argument!
I didn't really want to bring West Coast into this... Funny as a MOD you would do this... You have caused the Thread to go off topic which I thought was something you should prevent...
As for West Coast - I guess the Club owes the supporters a lot less than Freo and we are in a position to gamble a bit more as we have not turned over a quarter of the list like Freo did.
