I agree Jezza, Im sort of hoping now we just go for two of the top 5 midfielders and maybe leave Brander out of it.
From Bizs write up, its almost like they are all good in their own way. So the real question is not, who is slightly better than the other guy but "who is most likely to stay at Freo long term ie 10 years plus". The only disaster out of this, other than an injury, is Freo developing a young star only for them to go home to Vic in three years.
My spider senses started tingling when I heard Rayner say something like "of course you`d like to stay in Melbourne but at this stage Im just happy to go anywhere to start my AFL carreer."
Biz, how about a ranking of who would be most likely to stay 10 years in WA. I know its an impossible task but I didnt know Stephenson was a Lion fan. Heard Brander was a MethToaster too.
