Can’t believe they did this after having him tour the facilities.

Nah I’m out. Would rather go for a kid.

I’m thinking this too. Crying out for him.

Anyone know why their CEO played such a big role in this? Suppose the more pertinent question is why their list manager position hasn’t been filled.

Absolute amateur hour from the Fremantle Football club. Not going to judge Bell yet as he's been in the job for 5 minutes but this smells of loser club mentality. Do they even know what they want in life?

Fox Sports reporting it too.

Like flaming globes Sigmund, like flaming globes!

The golden crumb award

Farewell Dean. You came to the club at a dark time and while I would have loved you to be part of this it doesn’t always work out. Hopefully you can get into tip top condition and give it a real go with the Saints.

I must he completely missing the point of some of these. No more kicking to yourself after a kick in? Talk about fixing something that wasn’t broken.

Ouch, ouch, ouch. Better be some good packaging going on otherwise I expect the Hogan deal to fizzle.

Really is so important. The backline structure just falls in a heap when he’s not there, hopefully an injury free 19.

Thank goodness for that. Couldn’t believe it was even considered.

Not a huge fan. Was happy with the current number of Thurs games but more than that is a bit silly.

Zigmund, look at the sky. The planet is on fire!

Was there a point where you questioned what you’d signed up for? What were some of the biggest challenges in your first 12 months in the job?

Amazing news! Don't know about you all but I'm a bit emotional about this one. Speaks volumes of his character, he deserves the very best in life.

Maybe we should start a Lachie Neale to Brisbane thread so we can endlessly hypothesize and anticipate that and then come back to this when the trade is done? But then again I'm sure some people would rather cut their toe nails with a machete than lose the rapid pace that this thread is going at..

That's a good question. It would be easy to say it wouldn't and that all recruiting managers would prepare for any scenario by studying the whole talent pool but that's probably a bit simplistic. There's only so much time and so much traveling you can do. Then again maybe he did, but it still changes the psychology a bit.

Yeah that's it. I mean that's without knowing too much about next year's draft class of course but it seems the sensible option. Would much rather a very good talent that fits what we need than the absolute best talent on the board.

Real tough one. Would go pick 6 in a superdraft but only just and only because you get it right now.

Big, big season for Mitch in 2019. Can he forge a solid AFL career or just become one of the many cameos?

Still unsigned! And yes, heard on SEN last night he toured the Sydney facilities.

People are using our culture as a good reason to get him in. I would use it as a good reason to keep him out.
