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????

Saints bigfooty board blew up and cannot believe he has been delisted.

Surely they’ll rookie him. 

That has to be the answer. 

The Saints fostered him for such a long time and, when they finally gave him his chance, he performed reasonably in his two games. It seems heartless on their part to then turn around and single him out as the first player from the club to be delisted ... unless he’s been given some assurance that he will be rookied later on down the track.

Walked out of Collingwood to go to the Saints because they had a better medical team, how'd that work out Nate?

 

 


Reckon he will take two or three years of development to get him up to scratch.

Would rather we develop our own and draft kids like Lockhart.

 

nah pass. he has elite talent but i think has lost his elite speed. could have beenan A grade. poor kid.  i'd rather get a rookie ruckman in case gawn goes down.


I Remember at the time i was angry we picked Salem instead of Freeman.. how wrong was i!

In saying that i do not want him at the club.. has actually lost that burst speed due to his hammy injuries and just simply cannot trust a bloke with that kind of history. 

definitely should be on the radar delisted FA period costs nothing and base wage, showed he can play with 19 touches on debut let him get up to speed with afl by giving him a run and it could be a bargain coming off HB, better ball user than Hunt and Lewis is done after 2019 so a spot opens up

He had good attributes in his draft year, but I haven't seen enough of him this year to know whether he's lost his burst of speed. That was his main strength, so without it he'd be just an average role player at best. If his speed is still there, I'd say he's worth a roomie spot. If not, then pass.


Worth a rookie slot. We are in a position to take a punt. Lively type. Injury prone, but definite talent. We could do worse than to rookie Freeman.

I'd prefer to bring back Glenn Lovett. Safer hamstrings.

And we already have Mckenna.

Gee.. we were into him big time.. he could have been Toumpas 2.0.. 

No.  Patrick Swayze 2.0swayze.jpg.ab258b441dc9bf1c41131de02722a531.jpg

He'll get a gig somewhere.

 

Just not with us.

No way,every team picks up a spud or two.............................We got Sylvia ,then it was freo's turn. We got Doupas,then it was port's turn.

I'm going to go with what I expect to be an unpopular call here.

I'd entertain him in the case if we are unable to lure any of Gaff, Dahlhaus, Shiel, Wingard, Beams which is looking more likely then unlikely.

Get him on a one year deal as a delisted free agent.  Get him to trim down similar to what Gawn did last off season (he was looking pretty jacked this year at St Kilda). Lets see if he can become that running outside type that we need.  From all reports, he was on Taylor & co's radar 5 years ago when we got Salem.

Would be a low risk, high reward signing.  Worst case it doesn't work out, we can delist him and try and land Kelly next year!

Post draft Freeman:

Saints will rookie list him I'd imagine

 

There is injury prone, and then there is Freeman. His body just isn't made for AFL football.

Far better to give a bloke like Freeman a chance on a one year deal than waste another year on Johnstone / McKenna / King / etc who clearly will never make it.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
