Mr. Smiley, here is the article. It is a good one.

The Good: Trading in the two bigs, getting way more draft picks higher than 80. Belly and Rosich and the Freo team done good.
The Bad: Losing Neale and Pick 6 - but they made everything else happen, got to give something to get something.
The Biggest Question:
1) Will bringing in experience young talent create immediate success (next 24 months), over getting 1-2 players in a super draft and waiting longer?
2) Does scoring/wins improve radically from the investment from 2019?
Deal or No Deal:
i. Reece Conca - deal, cheap
ii. Jesse Hogan - absolute deal, must have
iii. Lachie Neale + picks - made everything else happen, deal
iv. Rory Lobb - will be very good, better than most expect. Deal.
Overall: 9.5/10 anchors for Bell.
