Roos likes tough players who take no backward steps. Freeman is a raging bull.

I know it doesn't have the alliteration value of Rhino Richards but if Nathan is delivered to us, and he proves to be the irrepressible force he is supposed to be can we call him Rhino anyway? Always loved the physicality of the original

    To me he looks like a Brent Moloney with better pace and ability to follow up (better workrate and fitness) which is what Moloney lacked to become a great midfielder.

    A friend of mine who was playing TAC with Chargers said Freeman was one of the best players he'd seen and a really nice bloke (although not much between the ears apparently)

    Ability to become a Dangerfield or Shuey. Opposite end of the spectrum would be a stronger Blease. Lets hope its the former if he ends up in the red and blue :)

    From what I hear, neither does he have the disruptive personality. That would help. I think he would suit the sort of side we are developing perfectly. The explosive pace would be a real bonus too

    I'm getting the feeling that Freeman must be firming for Melbourne's first draft choice.

    I haven't seen Aidan Riley play but he's another recruit who's supposed to be an inside midfielder.

    Sooner or later we are going to take a player who can break the lines with pace. Freeman seems to be the one who can do that.

    I believe these are his correct details for height & weight

    Height: 184cm, Weight: 85kg

    I was under the impression that Freeman plays both inside and out.

    Clear favourite on Demonland (2012 Ollie Wines was the call). Will Demonland get the raging bull Freeman as a ready to play, fast mid that MFC needs.

    (and who our kids can go Wow when he speeds down the MCG wing).

    It now depends on the six Clubs in front of us now (with picks 1 and 8 excluded).

    You can probably exclude a few more as it is pretty certain Kelly, Billings and Kade K. will be gone before 9. I am pretty confident Aish will be as well. That if I am correct is 6/9 picks accounted for. That means that there are two picks that could affect our thinking.

    I see Brisbane and Collingwood as the clubs we are not 100% sure of. Anyway it is all conjecture and draft fun.

    If your information is good enough to declare that Freeman to us is a certainty, then what will you do if this proves to be incorrect?

    Run around the MCG naked

    I'd recommend doing it under the cover of darkness.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
