I think Longmire has done a great job so far, expect higher scoring next year especially if Taberner continues his improvement and Hogan can stay physically and mentally fit. Of the two small forwards, Schultz looks more damaging at the moment, Crowden is a real tough nut and a great tackler but currently lacks the finishing polish that Schultz is now showing. Plus need more goals from Fyfe and the promising band of the young minds. Backline looks very solid especially with those 3 injured boys to come back in for '21. They should be in the mix for the lower end of the 8 next year if they can keep their A graders on the paddock.

Hogan now showing his mental fitness,
What a goose.

I think Freo will surprise a lot of people in the next few years. They are building, but not like the past.

Wow, how good was it to see them with a proper ruckman against Naitanui Meek was VG all match which more than the jumping bag does all season.

I agree Grump٫ Meek looks better than the currently over rated Darcy already to me and definitely better than the other option "i don't  want to  play in the ruck" Rory Lobb

ToO Lobb is too timid to be a ruckman and never going to make it as a forward with that Fred Flintstone jitters run up that Josh Kennedy had for a few years. He is a dilemma and as you say the clock is ticking on Sean Darcy. He is a good tap ruckman but needs to trim down and maybe that might lessen the soft tissue injuries. Meek has been on the list for a few years so he should be ready by now.

So DD you're saying Lobb is a crap ruckman (and i agree) and a crap forward (and i agree)٫ so losing Lobb actually possibly helps Fremantle this year?
Just asking because that's not the opinion of the vast majority it seems who seem to rate Lobb so highly

Robb is a forward who can do some deep forward ruckwork, thats about it, his run up is horrendous worse that JK's used to be but his conversions not bad. hard to match up on as a 203cm FF.
