Still not convinced but happy to be proven wrong.
Clearly a project player but has potential to be more athletically gifted than most. As an 'introduced' player to our game it will be about whether he can master the AFL game sense.

Still not convinced but happy to be proven wrong.
Think he is quite different stylistically. Can't really think of another player that is the same. The athleticism is next level.If he turns into a bigger version of Brad Hill we will be doing very well, and I don't think that's out of the question for him.
61 is such a late pick.pick #61, so much talk about our deficit for trading up for Henry.
This kid has speed to burn and walks into our senior side and hasn’t stopped growing. Another late pick bargain.
Midfield prospect Michael Frederick has signed a contract extension with Fremantle that will see him at the club until at least the end of the 2023 season.
Frederick joins fellow draftees from the 2019 NAB AFL National Draft Caleb Serong, Hayden Young and Liam Henry to extend their original contracts for a further two seasons.
He may not make it but with his athleticism it is a low risk/high reward scenario. Love his commitment.JLo and the staff clearly see a lot in this boy's potential.
Happy that the club has backed him in.

I think with the tools he has all you really need to see from him is a good attitude and some improvement. We fans can see that latter and JL has talked him up at least twice I can remember about the former.A contract to end of 2023 is a long extension for a project player, of all the re-signings this seems the only one that might be a reach, but I'm glad for the guy and the potential is clear to see.
He’s obviously apart of the next generation at Freo. The potential is huge with this man. Imagine 5 kg of muscle and using his speed on the wing. Sure he was quiet some games, but he’s a smart player in knowing where to position and get involved.A contract to end of 2023 is a long extension for a project player, of all the re-signings this seems the only one that might be a reach, but I'm glad for the guy and the potential is clear to see.
If it's a project player then shouldn't it only be a long extension? It wouldn't make sense to call them a project player but then only give them one year. I thought the point is that they would take a while to develop.A contract to end of 2023 is a long extension for a project player, of all the re-signings this seems the only one that might be a reach, but I'm glad for the guy and the potential is clear to see.
Freddy might be a project to get to the finished article but he played like 8 games this year. Already contributing, just in a different role to his eventual one.If it's a project player then shouldn't it only be a long extension?

He may play less next season, especially if WAFL is on. At the moment he is getting games for development depending on the mix of available players and positions, but showed enough to keep getting opportunities.Freddy might be a project to get to the finished article but he played like 8 games this year.
