Looks like the Freo crew have bet on red. And, going on their recent draft table craft, Hugh could argue with the decisions? Time to Restump Podcast the purple people we plucked from the player pool.

Without the rich draft capital at our disposal this year it was always going to be a trickier process. But when the dust settled this morning its difficult to be disappointed.

The Freo team filled the needs, punted on some wants, added some development projects and managed to include some insurance. Not an easy feat!

We go over the new recruits and run the shoulda, coulda, woulda theories. 

The lads are back at the club and if the photos are accurate, they’ve returned in better than decent nick! They’re not only looking flash, they’re turning out flash performances in early time trials. 

Neil Erasmus has shown his round one intention with two 1km run wins. Caleb Serong snared the 3rd while Heath Chapman outstayed them all and brought home the 4th.   

We take another look at the Jackson Darcy combo story which continues to develop. Who plays where for how long?

Is Caleb Serong getting a chance to possibly play with young brother Liam? Is there a strategy to potentially giving Liam the train on position?

We wish Connor Blakely all the best with his second chance at the Gold Coast after being plucked with pick 7 in the rookie draft. However, as it’s arguably the surfing capital of Australia, should our best wishes go to the Gold Coast Suns?

Its been a while between pods and there has been some listener feedback, some positive, some negative but we love it all. And we were blown away by some very kind listeners who generously bought us a bunch of coffees through the Restump website.

We don’t click into Summer until tomorrow but there’s plenty of hot stuff happening down at Limestone Park in Cockburn. So if you’ve got nothing better to do, wrap your listening gear around this episode and join us for a draft review and all the news in purple shoes.
