Toast Crowden - extends until 2021

[Lach72]

Looking forward to hearing the commentators stuff up both their names!

Serra and Crowd-en

You mean Mundy

 

[Sir Deadly]

And straight into my fantasy side!

 

[E Shed]

Wonderful. Very excited to be there for this one now.

 

[SHill Shall]

Freo playing 4 rookies by round 2! Next thing someone will try and tell me Tim Paine is test captain

And Lehman still the coach.

Awesome news on Crowden - will be my first sustained viewing of him.

Surely there is no chance we play Ballantyne, Walters, Matera, Neale and Crowden all in the same team? That will be a very short team if we do

I agree that we won't but I personally don't see an issue with 5 smalls in the team at once.

Sounds like he's going to be put through the midfield for most of the game. Expectations are to tackle and apply pressure (already have 3 of them in the forward line). I wonder if he's going to help free up Fyfe to have more impact and let Neale go forward more.

Crazy if true. Imagine this: You are 18. You are pick 59 in last years draft. You are being asked to play midfield in round 2 in your first game of AFL in front of 45 000 at a brand new stadium. Fill your boots young man.

I haven't watched much of him first hand but how has his tank been in Peel?

Lyon doesn't play youf

 

[poshman]

Proud to have broken this story before round one! And bloody stoked he is in!

Freo training watchers bringing the goods!

 

[Tbonefreo]

They’ll be stoked with their first ever game jumper

Yeah you did good job.

 

[theGav56]

Congratulations to the little Jet..anyone know any good sportsbars in seminyak, might want to watch this one now!

Adrenaline. Won't be there personally because.... .I've popped down to Perth to see the game live.

 

[Gekko71]

Life's a Mitch... but then you draft one.

Not expecting much from his first game, but hoping to be surprised.

Well done son - and bugger all that draft-position rubbish, talent will Out!

...plus a huge tip of the had to Ross for playing the youth early.... 2018 draftees take careful note: if you're young and talented, Freo clearly aren't afraid to give you a game early.

 

[Deathly]

My dream Crowden debut:

- 20 disposals
- 2 goals
- 8 soul crushing tackles, 2 HTBs
- Half time biff initiator
- Gets a wink of approval from Darcy after the game for his attitude efforts

I might be in the minority but man I think that jumper is ugly

Doesn't matter. If he, and Cerra, free Fyfe to play forward for the entire first half - perfect! Until we get Hugh and Ape into this forward line Fyfe has to play forward.

The wait is over!!

BT would probably do a Doris Day on Cerra.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

The wait is over!!

Ohh. That is ****ing... ... outstanding.

Someone has to send that to him... ****.

If Banfield holds his spot

Why would the better of the 2 first gamers be dropped?

 

[Fyfster]

Banfield should retain his spot , Why would you drop him after one game? Doesn't make sense .

 

[ImperialPurple]

Good on you!

 

[Joao]

What a day for mankind.

He will be dropped when tucker finds his mojo
