I think they have to wait for someone to nominate. Although over the years the umpires literally just confirm who it is and get on with it. i.e. “Darcy, English. 👍”
For me I’d like us to bring in Baker and Bolton. Baker, Bolton, Freddy and Switta would be a sweet group of small forwards.
Leave Chad and Pickett for down the road, although if we bring them in a player or two will have to leave (which, being us, is inevitable).
As has been said in many different ways, we are timid and cannot cope under pressure.
I just have no idea how you try and fix that over an off season. Remember Adelaide trying to attempt it with their infamous camp program?
Bit of a side-bar but Richmond played that Tom Lynch contract super well by back-loading it to when they dipped down the ladder.
Kind of the inverse of us with Lobb and Neale.
Never follow the draft too closely but I was pissed we didn’t take Bobby Hill - we went with Sam Sturt at 18 from memory. I loved the idea of keeping the Hill name synonymous with Freo. Plus we needed (and still do) small forwards.
Also wanted LDU over Brayshaw. Just seemed like the guy to...
While I agree with you (this rebuild has taken way too long), asking ‘how long should a rebuild take?’ is really difficult to answer, simply because every team is different.
Imagine our list, but we get to add Sam Darcy and Jamarra-Ugle Hagan to it on top. Imagine if we got Essendon’s draw...
Pies have always been terrible at trading. Imagine their list without F/S pickups (Daicos boys, Moore).
Hawks will likely jump us. We have to win one of the last two. Think Port is likelier… Massive game.
