WB Game Day V Fremantle R6 2019

[ratsmac]

This could get ugly. I have zero confidence that we can manufacture any sort of score that could be enough to win a game of footy atm.

Freo by 49
First goal for us - McLean
BOG - Daniel

[Rocket Science]

He might not have played a lot of footy but he did please a lot of supporters by asking for Michael MacLean's #51.

I was bullish on Koopsy in no small part for that reason. We don't have enough indigenous players in our back catalogue.

11 games of Koops though for 300 games of Mundy?

Thanks Rhoda.

What was the reaction to this at the time? I was too young to properly contextualise how good Koops was and if this was fair value.

It was sort of swept under the carpet by the fact that we gave up a pick of any description for Peter Street who was going to be delisted by Geelong anyway.

He had been dropped to the WAFL the season before and the price was ridiculous. Played only 13 AFL games for Freo in 2003 and averaged 7.6 disposals. 2003 was a weak draft though.

[Twodogs]

With the Nathan Brown Draft picks, and for once we had managed to get fair market value, we were sort of drunk with picks and just went mad. It was like the picks we had didn't count or something.

2003 was a weak draft though.

It can't have been that weak. Pick 19 has played 300 games which is bloody amazing given the amount of travel he has had to do.

Ben Hudson was still there at pick 58. Michael Johnson, Jake Surjan and Josh Mahoney all fell through to the PSD.
Aaron Davey, Nathan Lovett-Murray, Andrew Carazzo, Brett Jones, Paul Duffield, Jaymie Graham and Andrew Lovett all went as rookies.

Every year there is a tonne of talent. It is just whether or not the right player lands at the right club.

I've always wanted to quote myself. Just digest that for a second. Hudson was there at pick 58. But we gave up pick 20 to get Peter Street from Geelong.

Yep, the Rookie and Preseason drafts were decent but the National was overall ordinary and possibly the worst this century.

We had the chance to pick all the guys you mention but decided to go for Thompson at 50 in the National and Condos at 1 in the Rookie and both failed to even get a senior game between them.

or the recruiters don't know how to pick out the right talent

Dogs by 14 (optimistic but feel that they have something to prove tonight and will be up for the challenge)
First goal - Gowers
BOG - Bont

[kruder]

Couple of questions. Will Naughton play back? Where does Trengove play when he is not in the ruck? Bevo did say he wants to shore up the defence this week and Fremantle's forward line looks as dangerous as it has been in a long long time.

I'm scared about the result in this one with Hayes, Dukley and potentially Trengove to play forward its hard to see us scoring over 70 points.

Walters BOG lock it in

And Fyfe a given to get 30+

Honestly, we will be VERY lucky to score 8 goals.
