Freddie Clutterbuck

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
