Toast Welcome to Fremantle Neil Erasmus (pick 10 2021 AFL Draft)

[stax on the mull]

Goal kicking midfielder fills a need.

 

[Shadow Man]

Petracca........ be happy with that!

He won't be going anywhere, the future is PURPLE!

 

[Redgum]

Did anyone else think that he wasn't exactly jumping over the moon to have landed with us. Maybe he was hoping West Coast got him

Don’t worry once he meets the crew, coaches he’ll be glad he didn’t go to Dads Army

 

[rgauci]

Is he over the quad injury?

Was huge against Geelong VFL earlier this year.

Looking forward to land of the giants with our midfield soon enough.

 

[Pusswah]

Jesus, Fyfe much?

Exactly. Petracca is his ceiling imo.

 

[Silversurfer]

Don't argue

Nah he was visibly shaking with excitement but went a bit sheepish after blurting out he barracked for West Coast, probably got a bit self conscious after realising he said that. Well that's how I saw it anyway.

 

[AAACockburn]

I hope he he sees the light. But that was my first impression and you know what they say about books and assumptions.
I hope I am wrong.

 

[Spirit Level]

Stoked with this kid.

The way he drifts into packs and marks reminds me of a young N.Fyfe

 

[MadMundy]

A goal kicking midfielder? Is that allowed?

 

[wayToGo_]

A goal kicking midfielder? Is that allowed?

No. Good money is on Erasmus to half back.

 

[DMan 11]

From that footage he has all the AFL traits required. Happy with the selection.
Don’t see the explosiveness of Petracca just yet but he’s young, has a solid frame and doesn’t appear slow to the eye so I’m sure he’ll build nicely by the time Mundy and Fyfe are ready to hand over the baton.

There isn’t much footage of Erasmus, does anyone know what he’s like off his left?

No probs, he was probably a bit shaken and excited that the process of getting selected, is over.

Any minimal lingering thoughts of the “pensioner’s” down the road, will be ironed out of him by Messrs Darcy & Treacy.

Abnormally big head

But happy to have him. Not fussed that he mentioned he supported freo - he was grinning from ear to ear and the article online freo just released - no concerns on where his alliance now is

In the highlights vid he uses his left a fair bit and kicks goals or hits team mates with it.

 

[Dockernut]

Welcome Neil - stoked to have you at the club!

Certainly is.

Certainly is.

Watch out Busso

 

[PurpleReign]

Might have found a new contender for a new Freo 3/4 time rev up song.

 

[holy diver]

He can't wait to go to the Eagles and he has just been drafted. The whole bit about "But I’m so keen to get started at the Dockers". Kind of makes you think he's already counting down the days.
