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

[sherrif]

yet wasn’t it Erasmus who was one of the best in the under 18s vs. Geelong VFL team.

One game that was an exhibition game.. I think he will be fantastic for what its worth and I have no problems if he plays early on in the slightest.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Pretty rough to be referred to as draft poo...

 

[Spirit Level]

He's going to be a real Ben Cousins type player IMO (on-field)

so, has he had another growth spurt.

Here we go again. How long until we start seeing the suggestions he can go into the ruck?

hold up. lets confirm if he is as tall as mundy or johnson.

if he is at 192cm or 193cm. what happens if he grows another 2 cm. then he would be the same size a treacy.

We start comparing him to patrick cripps.

Depends on for how much longer Robert Walls has a media career.

 

[Andy Brennan]

O'Driscoll and Steven Dodd are the only two I can think of for sure.

Dardy, I think Brodie was too

 

[Paracleet]

Dardy, I think Brodie was too

As pedant in residence I should point out it was who were fans when drafted by us.

How tall is Amiss? 195cm?

196cm. Don't know if he's stopped growing yet

 

[Bender571]

O'Driscoll and Steven Dodd are the only two I can think of for sure.

I remembered this article about Luke Strnadica.

Surely Dillion O'Reilly grew up supporting his dad's team (not Geelong or Carlton)

 

[Tbonefreo]

Damn it. Just realised that was bloody Johnson.

 

[Cesoir]

I think he has definitely had a growth spurt...

Roy boy Benning 'supported Freo growing up'. Good lad!

Putting the overhead marking skills aside - there’s something about his highlights that reminds me of Simon Black.
The posture, running gait, elbow bend when handballing and the seeming slow but never caught pace he displays.
God I hope it pans out this way !!

That is who I thought of when I saw him move. Kicking may not be as good yet but he still hasn’t turned 18 and will improve with confidence and poise

Erasmus's official height changed from 188cm at the end of the season in draft profiles to 190cm when heights were listed at the time of drafting. He was one of the youngest players drafted with a December birthday so he could very well still be growing . Either way getting two draftees who play midfield that are listed at 190cm and a 192cm means we have recruited two players who would appear to compliment Brayshaw and Serong in the centre square.

They could have picked a more flattering picture. He looks like he is 90 rather than 18.

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

*ing hell, he is going to be an absolute monster

 

[nurries]

f*n hell, he is going to be an absolute monster

I am hoping that Neil and Matt J turn out to be our Fyfe and Mundy replacements.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Out of curiosity who is the youngest ever freo debut?
