I am interested to see how long this takes. It’s going to sound like making excuses for Freo and downplaying it for WC but it’s ******* hard to win a flag from over here. While WC have historically been one of the best run clubs in the AFL it’s worth noting the first two happened being basically a state squad and they’re not indicative of modern list building.
The other two flags have A LOT to do with pick 3 in 2001 being basically the greatest draft pick in history given it gave them an all-time great which then turned nicely into a generational KPF and a handy 200 game player in Masten after winning a flag.
I don’t think this is going to be as simple as “we are WC, we win” but the time to their next GF appearance will tell me a lot about how historically s**t Freo is.
