AFL Rd 6 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle

[Mav]

No doubt about that Baggers. Initially, I was pretty dismissive of Freo but the more I looked at them, the more I was impressed. We just don't get to see them much over here. Freo is rarely on FTA and even if you have FoxFooty their games tend to be overshadowed by games involving the big Victorian teams that are played at the same time. They really have some good young talent. Looking a few years down the track, the only area in which we should be stronger than them is in the key forward department. Taberner's 28 and Lobb's 30 or so, while Harry's 22 and Charlie's 25. But of course it doesn't work like that. The Hun ran an article about Victorian clubs jockeying to pinch their full back Pearce who'll be a free agent at the end of the year. And Gold Coast could tell a few stories about how hard it is to keep talented young players together when other clubs start sniffing around. Some Victorian club pinched one of Freo's best young mids last year IIRC.
