GCDee 3,202 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Delisted by the saints... Looked pretty good in his first two games worth a rookie spot given his injury history? Saints delist injury-prone mid after two games - http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-28/saints-delist-injuryprone-mid-after-two-games Quote

SPC 3,596 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Gee.. we were into him big time.. he could have been Toumpas 2.0.. 1 Quote
DeeSpencer 26,683 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 He looked ok, but not all that fit and not impressively big, skilled or quick. Add in the likelihood he does a hammy at any time and it's probably a risk we don't bother with. Taylor has shown an interest in getting in guys they liked in their draft years though. He's clearly a guy you'd try to get to train with the ground in October/Nov and see how he's going if you were at all interested. Quote
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Absolute pass from me. If it was 2014 I'd look at it, but we have no need for an injury prone mid who has lost his prized asset, pace, due to so many injuries. I'm surprised the Saints didn't give him another year though after finally getting him fit. Richo musn't have liked what he saw and, if that's the case, then I fail to see why we would even consider taking a look at him. 1 Quote
Red and Blue realist 2,063 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Put up some decent numbers in the 2s, but sometimes that doesn't mean much. Thought I heard he's attitude wasn't great, but that might be a reflection of the time spent in rehab. Quote
rjay 25,424 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Something not right here...they take years to get him right he plays a couple of games, seems to be going ok. Then gets dropped for team balance???? 3 1 Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 No. Got enough injury prone mids. 2 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,864 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 wasn't the choice btw him, salem, and lewis taylor with pick 9 way back when? his body has been pretty good for the last two years, at least from a soft issue perspective i wonder if we'll kick the tyres... Quote
Pennant St Dee 13,455 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 We dodged a bullet here Ash's Demons wanted him badly from memory. Posted regularly about him on top of several calls to SEN 1 Quote
TeamPlayedFine39 8,525 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 It's tragically poetic that he remained on an AFL list for so long, only to then be delisted a few weeks after finally making his debut. There is talent there, but unfortunately his body's not up to it. Scott Gumbleton II. 3 Quote
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I can recall myself thinking he was a real looker. Apparently not ?? Quote

bing181 9,473 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I know little about him, but we already have one injury-prone talented junior on our list in Pat McKenna, and that doesn't seem to be working out too well, so hard to see Freeman being of interest. 1 Quote

Viscount Cardwell 188 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Thought we could put him on Casey’s rookie list, but a big no from me ! Quote
Little Goffy 14,969 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Can we take him as a category B rookie? Hasn't been on an AFL list for a few years, just St Kilda. (sorry, any excuse to work out some of the anger) 3 5 Quote
Big Demon 197 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Always had extreme leg speed but sadly his body hasn’t stood up to the rigours of AFL football, extremely frustrating I would imagine when you are as good an athlete as this chap. Quote
Ethan Tremblay 31,389 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Surely they’ll rookie him. 3 Quote

At least he got a debut. It'd be tragic if he played out half a season in the VFL and then got delisted! 1 Quote
Uncle Fester 2,848 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Worth a rookie pick - may come good... may drop off the earth, but as a flip of the coin I think it is worth it. Quote
WERRIDEE 5,638 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) No from me. Delisted by the saints is enough to turn me off him. Edited August 28, 2018 by WERRIDEE 1 Quote
