Even then he isn't always right.
For example with one player in this year's draft able group he has one supposed strength of a player which would be akin to stating that Brad Hill was strong in the contest

not jess
Now that's a fwd line.
In before the 'oh noes where's the defensive pressure' squad.

Thanks that has been my ideal set up and why I think Bobby Hill is imperative for our forward line
The oposition won't be able to double up on anyone player because of the marking pressure we'd possess. Hill and Walters with the kicking and crumbing skills.
Mundy and Fyfe could rest forward to replace Walters and Hill.

Yes for sure
Walters Colyer and Hill have the pace to run both ways plus both Hogan and Tabs are well known for their roaming capability.

I think you might be right
The one thing he’s proven he can do in his limited appearances is put pressure on the ball carrier so it’s worth a go. Over time he could transition to more midfield minutes. Like Taylor said if we can rotate a few guys like that fwd we might get away with the land of the giants approach

I think that's the ballence. Freo do have plenty of small to medium sized players who can rotate through.
When I put up my ideal forward line that was just at centre square bounces. During the action then players push up and down to suit how the play is unfolding.
Like I said Tabs and Hogan often roam and Lobb might ruck when Sandi or Darcy is off.
Yeah that's the key, and I think Cox will develop that ability over time too. One of the biggest knock-on effects will hopefully be our ability to transition into attack from kick-ins. Having at least two of Fyfe/Lobb/Sandi/Hogan/Tabs etc plonked on opposite flanks as outlet options is going to be a huge luxury for us.
Who was also selected around the mid-teens...
Another David Mundy please.Who was also selected around the mid-teens...
Remember going to a scratchie up at Joondalup with Dad when Mundy first started. Looked a gun even then.

Clayton Hinkley?
Don't throw Clayton in his face. It's the Bigfooty Freo equivalent of Godwin's.
Man he was a spud though.
Ian Hill indirectly telling interstate recruiters "please don't draft me I will be heading to FREO in 2-4 years time to play alongside my cousins..."
I thought that’s where he would’ve played this year.

My favourite mock draft of the year.

He did for some of the time. I was at a few games and he was playing forward.

Not sure even Crowden knew where he was meant to be playing.
Would of been interesting if Tom Joyce had been fit this year he would of been considered a prospective pick 14....didn't look out of place as an under ager last year in the state champs....be interesting to see if Freo or anyone else pulls the trigger on the kid......out of interest with all Freo's tall is O'Reilly even a want now?
