We Should Have Taken Freeman

Featured Replies

..ha ha just kidding,,,,

I figured someone would start this sometime soon.

 

I was ready to kill!

On a similar topic, should we recruit Newton in the rookie draft?

Edited by Courtney_Fish

 

I am not in a position to make an expert judgement on this, but Freeman does appear to have a lot going for him particularly in relation to our needs eg pace, endurance and his line breaking ability, in addition to his ready to go mature body.

What is the case to choose Christian Salem over him?

Just sayin...

Confirming what most of us think Stuie, and I'm not referring to either of the players

Just viewed Christian's highlight package on the MFC official site and was most impressed with his confidence and precision left foot kicking reminiscent of the young Ooze .

I would normally just like this comment - but the function has mysteriously disappeared,

So i'll say this instead:

Gold.

Pity we missed out on pick 93....some gun named Ricky Petterd got picked up....stunning bargain!


as well as freeman vs salem

we can [censored] on kelly vs salem too

could be good for a few terabytes

Well done Deestroy All.

We don't know who we should have taken for a few years. Same goes for Toumpas and Wines.

I like the fact that he is confident, knows how to get the footy, has got good skills, and loves to tackle. All he has to do is back himself at AFL level and fill out a bit.

Roos' track record for making the right calls maybe >>>>>>>> yours?

One has a laser boot the other doesn't. One loves the defensive stuff like tackling the other not so much.

Picking Salem breaks our usual mould of picking someone with iffy disposal and defensive skills.

Freeman cant kick, Salem is an elite kick, and runs all day.

People are seriously overacting the Freeman Kicking issue a bit..

 

I know we've been burnt on the skinny kids recently, but the game is not called biceps.

Give the kids a chance!!

Roos didn't pick kids for round 1 2014... They will need to smash the door down to get in the team in 2014.

I like our selections.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
