TOPIC:

Apeness sounds like another Gumbleton TBH....obviously with Taberner signing on the Hogan goss must surely just be all that.....Taberner, McCarthy and Kersten up front again...jeez Freo will struggle to kick goals again next year me thinks....

Got me stuffed why they retained Apeness, Suttcliffe and Sheridan. I guess you can't cut them all at once but can't see any of them figuring in Fremantle's future. Holding onto Taberner is a good move, it looks like he is about to stamp himself as a regular AFL footballer and it would have been embarrassing to see him go to another club and make his mark though if he could have been used to secure Hogan then it would make sense.

I thought Crozier had developed nicely and sorry to see him go but we might get lucky and pick up a good one with the pick we get from him or perhaps that is ontraded to get Wilson or Matera. Matera being the most likely like for like.

Ballantyne is going to be under the pump next year with the addition of Matera and Bennell if his calves hold up. I expect McCarthy will have a big pre season and come back a much leaner body shape so could be a big upside from him next year.

I guess when Ballas gets dropped to play for Peel folk can't whinge when he kicks a bag in the finals for Peel, considering he is a Peel local eh 42 and the Subi boys?

yes freez...I certainly have no problems with it as long as he qualifies by playing more WAFL than AFL during the season and gets over the required number of games hurdle whatever that may be next year as well as any other preconditions the useless WAFC puts in place.

Dean Cox off to the Swans.

Weren't Geelong after him?

The trades are finally starting to happen with Lever becoming a Demon and Devon Smith a Bomber. I think the Crows would be delighted with 2 first round picks for Lever who wanted out anyway. Also it appears that Zac Clarke has attracted interest from 5 other clubs according to his manager.

Interesting the Zac Clarke case. I don't think Freo had any option other than delist him with his injuries. I would love to see him get on another list and be successful, he always had the potential to be a very good mobile ruckman/forward but was unable to stay injury free for long enough. Good luck to him.

Yep, hope for his sake he can do a Vardy and put in an almost injury free season at a different club.

Freo Pick 40+82 for Crozier.Thought he was a better player than that...Adelaide done well out of the Lever trade..Lever and daft no 35 and Adelaide two first round picks next 2 years.
