his recruiting whilst not great wasn't too bad. nothing like the Pendergrast years

are they realy that good at drafting in the last 5 or so years? or was it more 10 years ago. They just keep bringing in other teams developed players. Who is their young talent coming through?. I thought Sicily and perhaps Burton could be A grade. not sure there is much else. and they gave up Burton to again bringing in someone else's talent, Wingard. not sure they are the recruiters to be listening to.

Sounds like Charlie Spargo Mark II

absolutely, even moreso if they have a poor year and don't look like improving.

No. No and No.

I find Hunt an intriguing one on our list. With our readiness to turnover the list and let Tyson and hogan go I’m sure they thought long and hard about Hunt. I say i find this one intriguing because outside of pace his skill and footy IQ are towards the bottom end of our list. Also is he improving his skill set ? . He is quick but not agile ( opposite to a Jetta ). He reminds me of a 60s footballer, straight at it long kicker with little finesse. I wonder if he is dedicated snough. No evidence but I wonder. I have greater hope for say a Stretch who seems to be so professional. So so that’s why I’m intrigued as the footy dept have strong faith in him and you have to back them in as they are developing extremely well. If they can get his game sense up a level and his confidence up we would have a weapon and I would think one of our best achievements. If we can do it.

Sums up footy journalism perfectly. All talk bugger all substance.

Exactly. We lost big time.

Interesting. He seems introverted to me. Not the comfortable in the spotlight. Bit like dusty martin. When he accepts it he might go to another level.

excellent work !!!

May seems hungry for footy. wants to play in his first Friday night game, play finals. Hogan seems hungry to get home to his mates.

Why do people rate Mahoney ? Lost the lever deal badly and we just got screwed. Massively. Ridiculous. You alway pay overs to extract a player. Except from the dees. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible waste. So Neale gets more for Freo ?

Sorry but I will spew with that deal. We paid more for hogan as a 17 year old.

This deal can’t be last minute. If they stall till tonight I say we screw them. We want to get May and perhaps another runner. Can’t do all that with little time.

I agree with some of what you wrote but assuming he wouldnt make a great key back is based on nothing. Roos mentioned last week he thought Jesse would be just that. He was all Australian CHB in the under 18s. When hes gone back in periods he has looked natural to me and willing to defend. I think he Could be better than may as he has twice the ability. And a bigger tank. How would you rate jack reiwoldt at 23 ? I thought he was the biggest drama queen and gave up when it all got too hard. He found a way with experience but probably moreso with personal maturity and now he does what’s best for the team.

Nope. Unlikely.

Freo watering down their draft picks the cunning rats.

anything less cannot be an option. they are rightfully asking for more than pick 5 for Neale and Hogan is worth more again.

if we get May it will be a case of where will Oscar and Frost fit.

For gods sake will this pillaging ever end. Hope he stays.

Based on Sundays game Im not sure how useful McGovern is as a forward. lacks some skill and class for mine.

his opponent had zero stats. that's the real story.

Hogan is light years ahead of Weideman. not sure how you conclude that.

yes his kicking is reliable and decision making very good. He is a natural. I wish he had more toe but hey you can't have everything.

yes but that's about it maybe elite vision as well.
