No wonder GWS dont want to
No wonder GWS dont want to talk about mccarthy.... theyve been raped and pillaged by every other club! This is what happens when the afl decide to give such generous draft concessions to the new clubs.
Anyway, Freo will have faith in their list. We made a prelim (on poor form according to the critics). We need an extra couple of goals, and guess what we've got bennell who will kick goals himself and setup plenty more.
So, at your peril, you can all wrote us off again.....
But we'll be up and and about again in 2016.

no randall the problem is the AFL allow contracts to be broken by sooky little bitches who miss home or want to win a flag the easy way. a contract should only be allowed to be broken if a player retires or is unable to play any more.
sick of reading about over paid homesick footy players, did they expect to stay in there home towns when they nominated for draft. step up AFL enforce these contracts or they are not worth the paper they are written on

One-eyed WCE fan here
But I agree with you for the most part Randall.
- Not unhappy with the Sinclair / Jetta swap. I didn't really want Jetta...but will welcome him. His outside run on Subi and first class delivery to the likes of Kennedy (with Gaff on the other wing) is trouble for opposition teams. Sinclair I always felt a bit shy of the mark...could still improve, lot's of upside but in the next 12 months Lycett would have his spot.
- Rosa trade, fair enough.
- Giles....don't know why. Spud.
- Not sure why we didn't make a play for HB....guy is gonna land a charlie if he can keep off the powder.

That will remain to be seen Randall. We need pace around the midfield, I reckon Jetta will do his job as he will know the side is in flag contention all sarcasm aside. We already have plenty of height and IMO a good trade.

Plenty of height? Not sure who you are talking about. I dont see a lot of tall timber there. And the recent games where you were beaten in the middle (adelaide and hawthorn in the gf) your small backline was exposed by tall forwards and your forwards didnt get the delivery they needed.

My only concern is where are Freo going to get players from. 6 or 7 have already been delisted or retired, don't know about Pav and Morabito just yet, traded pick 35 along with our first pick for Bennell, so we could be looking to fill up to 10 places in next months draft and rookie draft.
Pies will be claiming the 2016 flag by about February next year and a drovers dog could see that the Jetta / Sinclair trade is a little strange. But we're not the ones sitting at the table making these calls.

I know. What we have
I know. What we have introduced is another highly skilled outside runner which we were lacking who can also kick goals. Ross has faith in the list. We have not given away any of our talent and we came out of the draft with around about the same sort of picks we had at the start less a first round pick.
I think the club did well. Sme very measured decisions. I wouldn't have been happy if we had given up a talented kid like weller to get mccarthy. Pav will go around again, taberner will improve and apeness will be over his knee injury.
Im not disappointed.

How come everyone in the industry
when talking about Freos needs - talk about key firwards - I mean even Ross spoke about it, it was /is very very obvious. Is it anti Freo talk or fact? You chose to use your 1st round pick on Bennell rather than offer it up for Cam....simple really.
edit : and I personally will be surprised if Pav does go around again, if he had likely support up forward and could lesson his load ( i.e Cam) I think he would have.

Potentially because freo
Potentially because freo already knew very early that the mccarthy trade was unlikely and while they need a key forward the kid is still unproven, played only 22 games and only kicked 35 goals. Bennell has proven his talent and has already played in excess of 50 games. Freo could have gone after a second rate forward like black or casboult and would hace copped criticism for that that. So rather than wssnt picks on second rate players (as we have in the past) i am happy that freo offered only what mccarthy is worth and nothing more. Perhaps ross has something in mind like the bulldaogs did this year and played with a small forward line? I dont know. But what i see is he has faith in the list he has.

not really happy to see Sinclair gone
but hopefully Jetta will prove to be a good pickup. The Eagles backline did a great job this year and covered the injury list well, though a good tall defender would be a handy bit of recruiting too. Good to see the banter is kicking on too :)

Emac come back next year
Emac come back next year which will release Schoey/Brown to the next best defender which will allow Yeo to play midfield, Shep to run off and create more and McLovin to swing forward. Pretty exciting stuff. I personally think that McLovin will go predominately forward next year and that Darling will become a midfielder who rests forward.

I dont agree that our window is closing. Freo looked closely at dixon and decided against him. They looked closely at Schultz and decided against him. I see a plan of trading for long term sustained success and not just short term results. Freo will bide their time and go again next year for either mccarthy and / or hogan.
Dont discount the fact that with bennell now in tbe mis6field and younger players like langdon and blakely coming through we may see fyfe play more of a prrmant forward role like gary ablet snr did very well.
Theres no doom and gloom here. Unlike some teams who went out and made whole sale changes during the trade period effectively trading their way out of tbe draft. Freo showed no signs of panic and have faith this list can deliver.
