    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.

    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.

    Something not right here...they take years to get him right he plays a couple of games, seems to be going ok.

    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...

    We dodged a bullet here

    Ash's Demons wanted him badly from memory. Posted regularly about him on top of several calls to SEN

    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.

    I can recall myself thinking he was a real looker. Apparently not ??

    Given the year they've had, not much leeway down there at the moment I suspect.

    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.

    McKenna is looking ok in the 2’s

    Can we take him as a category B rookie? Hasn't been on an AFL list for a few years, just St Kilda.

    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.

    At least he got a debut. It'd be tragic if he played out half a season in the VFL and then got delisted!

    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.

    No from me. Delisted by the saints is enough to turn me off him.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
