Seems North didn’t need to Twist the AFL’s arm too hard. Has the policy crossed over from equalisation to an equitable model? It may just be that us Freo folk still haven’t gotten over our limited league entry concessions! Time to Restump Podcast all the goings on.

Former Freo man Lachie Neale joined Nat Fyfe in the very elite group of dual brownlow medal winners. Sure, he may have snuck 3 votes when he probably shouldn’t have but like the pre-hotspot era, sometimes you snick it and survive, sometimes you miss it and you’re given out. You can admire Lachie Neale’s achievements and simultaneously spare a thought for the Bont.

Lachie is a magnificent player and a deserving winner…. and just maybe that is what the West Australian should focus on rather than drag Freo into it and play the tabloid clickbait headline game.

Caleb Serong’s stella year continued with his 24 votes, taking 36% of Fremantle’s votes. Had the team won a few more games we may well have been celebrating Freo’s second brownlow medalist. 

In other great news Brennan Cox has been locked away until 2030 which pretty much makes him a Docker for life. Lukey Ryan can now rest easy his best mate is staying put.

Jojo suggests its time to dismantle and rebuild the numerous trade, NGA eligibility, father son and free agency compensatory pick systems? The add-ons and amendments over the years have made it clunky, tricky to navigate and in some aspects open to manipulation. 

It’s the off season so we’re having a bit of fun with fake trades to be discussed and we kick off the one football related and one non-football related questions we’re asking listeners to send in.

So, with no Freo footy in the finals you may be looking for something to rattle around in your head. If so, and you’ve exhausted all other options, here is an hour of relative nonsense to help you pass the peak hour traffic time.
