Fremantle Football Club Drafting And Trading History

Fremantle Football Club's drafting and trading history is often cited as a reason for their poor on-field record, in not winning a finals game in their first 11 seasons.

Phil Smart was the recruiting manager at Fremantle from when they were formed in 1994 until 2008, remaining at the club until the end of 2009 as their draft manager, with Brad Lloyd being appointed the national recruitment manager.

Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”

His house among the local sheds and shanties
Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.”
