The big buzz in the recruiting world of late has been the emergence of the mature age recruit. We've seen the JPod working wonders at the Cats and what about Paul Puopolo who came to Hawthorn this year after starring for SANFL team Norwood in last year's finals?

Podsiadly and Puopolo are weird names so I decided to look for a mature age recruit with an unusual name and I've come up with Freddie Clutterbuck.

Fabulous Freddie turns 22 years of age in a few days' time. Last year he was skipper of the East Perths reserves side which made the Grand Final. He is a midfielder who according to reports has come on well this year.

DOB: 22nd September 1990

Debut: 2010

From: Noranda JFC

Height: 182

Weight: 80

    If that's your criteria, it's still not too late to draft recently retired NHL goaltender, Ron Tugnutt or college basketballer, Chief Kickingstallionims.

    Seen him play for East Perth this year a couple of times and he has played well, but WAFL players who I have seen who have really stood out for mine, Luke Blackwell (Ex Blues), Mark Hutchins (Ex Saints), Kyle Horsley, Kane Mitchell and there are some other boys like Ian Richardson, Ross Young & Jason Salecic who have stood up for years in the league and have bigger bodies for the middle but time has probably passed them by.

    Interview with the man himself:

    http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/east-perths-freddie-clutterbuck-invited-to-train-with-melbourne-demons/story-fnb7bkh3-1226208346862

    "Clutterbuck had an outstanding season in the WAFL, playing all 20 games for the Royals as well as making three appearances in the Foxtel Cup. The 21-year-old midfielder averaged 22.3 disposals per game to clinch the league’s Rising Star award at the end season."

    ... and some random quotes:

    "Freddie Clutterbuck (26 touches) was superb on the wing for East Perth and kept Fremantle-listed Jesse Crichton quiet"

    "East Perth was led by skipper Michael Swan's six goals and 42 possessions from Brendan Lee .... and 39 from Freddie Clutterbuck."

    "This interesting and rare surname, found widely recorded in Gloucestershire, is the Anglicized form of a Dutch name which may have arrived in England at two periods in English history. Firstly, it may have arrived in Gloucestershire when Edward 111 brought Flemish weavers over to teach their craft to the English, with many settling in the Cotswolds. More likely however, the name followed later from Holland due to the religious persecution of French Huguenots, by the Duke of Alba who suppressed the Protestant revolt in the Netherlands (1567 - 1572), and who fled to nearby countries."

    And jcb, I'd let go of the Nasher bashing. You're not exactly covering yourself in glory.

    Nasher is clearly a racist. He obviously hates all anglicised dutch aboriginal Turks. What a shameless racist.

    Hah, 'Freddie 'Huckleberry' Clutter-buck', cleans Up.

    geez, he's got a Dunny porno tache........as if his name doesn't give him enough attention

    Hopefully that is just for Movember and the razor will be out on Thursday - and for Dunny while they are at it.

    And for me the name easily trumps Stainless Ferrous Edgeass, or whatever - that #22 Collingwood dude.

    Chicken Smallhorn would come in at second place - I remember him from Pelaco Inquest, a 1950s Saturday evening review of the six games, the full round, played that afternoon. Not a name to forget.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
