Freeman is another Sam Blease.

Salem is alot more consistent and more of a precision player.. personally we already have a Blease, let's develop him into the amazing player he could actually be.

Although it would have been fantastic to have Freeman also and try to turn him into a Dangerfield type of player, Salem is a better fit.

Apparently Hunt could be anything and he's quick, maybe we have a gem in him

Ridiculous call and I'm SO sick of people picking out one factor about a player and then assuming they must be terrible at everything else.

Hunt is skilled but skinny, does that make him another Cale Morton?

I understand the point you're making and I agree with you as far as it goes.

But the main issue is whether we are able to turn Tyson, Salem & Hunt into serious contributors on the field. From now on, it really doesn't matter whether Kelly and Crouch might have been better or not.

We need to focus on making the best out of what we've got. As I'm sure the club is doing already.

Agree

I read somewhere that Freeman loved the hard stuff and is a bit of a clearance machine.

Yet to see Sammy do much other than put the blinkers on, tuck the pill under his arm and run. I love it when he does this however he needs to do it more than twice a week.

I was hoping we would have gotten Freeman but that was based on no knowledge of either player other than reading a couple profiles, watching 2 mins of videos on each and reading some stats. Probably similar to most here.

Still, I have faith that what we did we will out fine, in time

Can't believe we gave up pick 20

Ok, we keep pick 20, but the deal doesn't get done.

So instead of Tyson & Salem, we have Josk Kelly & Jarman Impey.

Happier now?

I sure as hell wouldn't be.

Did he break his leg at school today?

If it wasn't for running, Freeman wouldn't have been a top 10 pick. It's as simple as that.

Salem isn't as fast (nor was anyone else this year) but is a much much better player with an exceptional left foot.

The right decision was made at pick 9.

They are nothing alike.

they absolutely are. The reason why they were and are both such high draft picks are because of their explosivety.

Without that, neither would have been first round..

Freeman has poor ball use, struggles with consistency. Sounds alot like Blease to me.

Although Freeman enjoys more of the hard stuff and Blease not as much, they share more similarities that differences.

Freeman has endurance. Blease has none.

Freeman is inside and outside. Blease is exclusively outside.

Blease kicks well off both sides. Freeman doesn't.

The only similarities they have us that they are quick and they play football.

No mine are higher.

rpfc: I expect to win 8 games.

wyl: Well I expect to make finals.

rpfc: [scoff] I expect a top 4 finish next year.

wyl: That's nothing! I expect to see Roos during GF parade!

rpfc: Expecting a loss then hey!? I expect to see Roos at Melbourne Park after the game with the cup!

wyl: Looking small?! I expect to see Roos at the Oscars with the cup running his impressive naked rig up and down the aisles!

rpfc: I could think bigger with my head in a thimble! Roos WINS an Oscar FOR running his impressive naked rig up and down the aisles and then wards off an invasion from a rogue Asgardian fleet with help from a fire-breathing Jack Watts, an invisible Jesse Hogan, and Jack Trengove whose power seems to be time manangement!

Now that is a strange reply.

Well, now you're just being ironical...

But then you did believe Tom's lies for 6 months.

You are too nice...AFL is brutal..

Expect more.

I know you didn't mention September.

We should expect a flag.

You are too nice, a soft touch.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
