    Toast Welcome to Freo Odin Jones (Pick 5 in 2023 Rookie Draft)

    Worst case scenario - he amounts to nothing and gets a year studying the best ruck duo in the game. Best case scenario - he looks to be a quality talent and creates some headaches for list management in a few years time. Another scenario - he turns out to be another bullocking Treacy-type...

    Toast Fremantle's 2nd 2016 National Draft Pick: Sean Darcy [Pick #38]

    As someone else previously pointed out - Suma no doubt had 2 articles written months ago and in the barrel ready to go the instant an outcome was announced by the club. Swag leaves: "Freo are at crisis point with key players walking out each year, they need an internal review clearly" Swag...

    Not gonna lie, that possibility terrifies me. The fear of the 1st defeat is no doubt a big motivator in itself. I'm sure Volk feels like a great weight's been lifted - but he's probably set for life in many ways as well as the burden of expectation no longer being there as far as his dominance...

    Oppo Camp Former Freo player watch

    That'd hold significantly more weight if the compensation formula wasn't held under lock & key by AFL house. For all we know - he certainly qualified for some degree of late pick compensation. Call me cynical, but I bet if it was a Collingwood veteran - they'd have extracted some sort of low...

    Wife wonders why i'm so pessimistic about Freo's chances and general direction all the time. I say to her - "that's what 28 years of frustration and going backwards will do to a man". As a casual supporter up until 2 years ago, I don't expect her to understand, but she gets it in fleeting...

    Game Day 2023 AFL Draft - The Late Male Edition

    Spot on. RTB did very well to have the club to wrap their arms around him every chance it got. Although he wasn't exactly the stereotypical PR nightmare or regular public disaster - he was just your classic example of not doing everything he could to ensure he got the best out of himself, and he...

    Game Day 2023 AFL Draft - The Late Male Edition

    Call it what it is, but i'll never not be salty about the way the Hogan experiment turned out. The club committed to him, we coughed up big time to get him, we gave up all we received from Lachie Neale leaving to get him, in a manner of speaking. That in turn set us back further than it should...

    In that case, he could've said everything he did - just without the "I'm looking forward to him hopefully re-signing". Happy to reserve opinion til after Christmas.

    How did we go from "Darcy signing as soon as next week" a month or so ago, to - "Hopefully he re-signs" - Serong. Not wanting to sound alarmist or anything, but to me, that's concerning.
