FTO, I agree with you on the damage done to the soul of Freo by outsiders who got hold of the steering wheel and drove us to disaster, but I don't agree that our drafting and talent identification has been that bad. Ian Hill would be walking in the shoes of Cerra, Banfield, Hogan, his cousins, Darcy and the rest of the team if Freo drafted him.
Lyon has proved over and over that talent and skill mean nothing to him, he does not rate either attribute. So no matter who we drafted, we would be in the same boat. We have 2 or 3 of the best 15 players in the comp, who starred in the first half of the season, but thanks to a dumb, dumb, dumb game plan and coaching box, are out on their feet just over half way through the season.
