A lot of clubs landed A graders during the trades.

History tells us they will butcher the draft picks they received......

Its great that you are up and about based on the above

Spud no Fremantle supporter denies losing Hill is a big blow but he didn't want to leave, it was Misses Hill who didn't like the post code. Apparently the post code of St Kilda is very appealing to Misses Hill along with Brad's 900k a year salary x 5.

In case you have forgotten I'll remind you, we gave Hawthorn pick 22 for B. Hill which was the compensation pick for Chris Mayne.

So in effect we've turned pick 22 into pick 10 improved this years second round pick from 26 to 22,get St Kilda's second round pick next year and get two players in their early 20's that were pick 19 and 7 when drafted. Not hard to work out we've had a big win overall even for a spud like you.

there was 2 decent players who moved clubs - Kelly and Hill.
the rest were bit part players in their teams.
Langdon cant kick, not that good a player.
Freo's biggest problem is keeping blokes on the park

Dynasty... I will let you in on a little secret about drafts picks, they guarantee nothing. Gold coast post 8years.. Carlton & Fremantle post 20 years... hint, hint.

Maybe I don't understand, are draft picks for Freo like winning a derby against the Eagles?? is that what it is?

But you take your B Graders that will replace Neale & Hill and go celebrate. Meanwhile, if you want an example of how to recruit for a premiership, take a look at what hawthorn have been doing the past 3 years.

Is this a hobby listed on your resume Spud or is it more like a passion or an obsession? If it’s the former that’s ok it’s healthy but if it’s an obsession then you need help.

I just don't get the mentality of some of these people DD...you have your tuggers and I have my STD...I wonder what jollies they get out of trolling around on certain threads?

STD? Sounds like a disease mate. At least we have a laugh it would be boring without them.

It is a disease...and a nasty one that makes you itch and covers you in a rash...

I really don't think it's trolling when it is very clear I enjoy watching freo suffer.

I like to think of it as an alternative realistic view point. Under the AFLs newest football manager some serious quality has exited freo, let's not make it sound like it's a great situation.
