[QUOTE=waswan;799497]Lachie was disappointed someone can be looked after ($$$) like that and be very non commital and out of it. All while he was trying to get looked after himself...... Was hitting them pretty well at Royal Freo before he left too Lachie

How true that is... same thing that I heard too He didn't mind getting on the juice. Having said that he had enough of being the fall guy, and playing second fiddle to a certain Brownlow medalist and said enough was enough....
I've seen rumours online that the certain Brownlow Medalist was actually no one's choice for captain except the coach and chairman. Combined with the above speculation, it sounds like a playing group in disarray. Might explain the exodus of players Fremantle went through.
Actually could you say they had an exodus ? Lost Neale, Mayne, Hill and Langdon but picked up Hogan, Lobb, Wilson, Colyer, Conca . Not a bad haul. Certainly better than ours in recent times.
They also lost Lachie Weller, but got pick 2 for him. Not bad, although Weller is playing very well and not a bad deal from GC's POV, since the AFL just gifts them draft picks to replace the ones they give away. And Freo got huge compo for the Hill trade. So they've done alright, despite losing some very good players.
We should do something about these as well:
* Tell Pratt to be careful crossing the road.
* The biff is only used by inferior teams. They wouldn't even have made the finals in a normal 18-round season.
A shame that time machine didn't go further back, suggesting some goal kicking practice in the finals in the early 20th century would have netted us an additional couple of flags (1912, 1914).
"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final
Asked about McDonald being top 10 and it is basically a case of how they would rate the Vic kids without seeing much of them this year due to covid.
Didnt seem too bullish about him being a top liner, his form does look good though.
I still reckon we get the best Mid available, look at the last few drafts, the difference between the top 5 and the rest can be huge.
Going a safe bet as opposed to a project player that early is the smartest option
Looks like Bears might be looking at Joe Daniher - The Age
Go best mid plus Campbell and Gulden, can never have too many mids, just drop off the least effective end of each season.
Getting worried that our two will expose too much good form and rise up draft boards :-(
