Have you noticed they are all mature aged players? ;).

Good recruiters.. they also picked up Silvagni who was handy...

faulks could be handy this year to..

Freo are really giving these guys a second chance at the AFL and they are repaying them. Doubt they'll stop anytime soon.

If Faulks plays you wouldn't think he would rack up a lot of touches as he will most likely be playing FB to allow McPharlin to play CHB and SNOS to play on the 3rd tall (maybe even forward)

All these recruits & possible future recruits know that all they have to do is perform in their leagues & they have a great chance of being picked up. Freo have to date seem to have got it right. IMO.

Sure other clubs have as well but freo is setting the pace.

3 years ago Harvey was being critised for not blooding new players, now they are amongst the best.

To be fair we didnt really have any new players back then worth playing.

He should have IMO. He was the best this year in terms of what he did with the players he had to do it with...

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's see how Freo go in 2011 when there are some genuine expectations on them & they are being paid a little more attention than the first half of 2010.

Begs the question, what will be regarded as a successful 2011 for Freo? Has to be top 4 I would have thought?
