How is Nathan Freeman progressing?

What a ridiculous call. Sinclair was easily our best small defender before getting injured, and Freeman's skills are fine. He hits targets on a regular basis and is a good user in general.

It's like you don't even watch the game and then just spew some random crap out thinking you can fool people in to thinking you have a clue.

Sinclair isn't best 30. Will be delisted come years end.

I'll take that bet.

There is no chance of Sinclair being delisted. Silly comment.

Just like Harry was never getting traded?

Keeffe Thomas and Sinclair will be our senior delistees.

Young will be delisted before Sinclair. And there were many who predicted Harry would be traded, starting from when he had his hissy fit in 2013.

This thread is about Freeman. Maybe you could start a delisting thread?

People need to relax and stop being so critical on Freeman, maybe some people have something about them to criticise people with the first name Nathan...

Anyway, this is basically his first year of footy. Last year he didnt play a game and had a horror year due to that persistent hamstring injury which he did in nab 1 v Geelong (mind you before he did that he was looking great!) i play footy myself and have experienced soft tissue injuries and i am a runner who plays generally on a wing and it can take a bit to get confidence in your body to take off and sprint knowing that it wont happen again.

Give him time, he has elite speed and elite endurance, he is still developing, i honestly have this really good feeling about Freeman that he will turn into a really good player.

The people you are having a go at have actually decided to add something to the conversation by critiquing aspects of his game and talking about the likelihood of him rectifying those. All you have done is said he will be good because you have a feeling and he's athletic. Maybe you should actually arguing the point rather than the man and if you can't then maybe you should shut up.

People need to start considering that they're critiquing such a small sample size of games that it's pretty much irrelevant anyway :S

You seem to live in a world where everyone is future star or delist once past 20. I have not been a fan of Sinclair and I don't think he has a big future. But he is currently deserving of a spot in the team and won't be delisted this year.

No one has been making definitive statements about him except for those saying he WILL be a star. Most of us are just talking about where he currently is and what he has been. Its amazing how people love to hear people like Knighmare (for example not specifically him) critique a player before the draft. But once they are in the system if anyone does the same thing he is suddenly stupid for 'criticising' a young player. What a difference 6 months makes.

Don't ask me leading questions and threads won't be derailed.

Oh dear TD. Take responsibility for your actions.

First person to mention Sinclair in this thread which started the derailment? Guess who... THATSGOLD.

Always derail threads, always get away with it.

Comparison to Freeman. Hence the topic.

You remind me of a small child who won't take responsibility when they **** up.

I am not "having a go" at anyone, all i am saying is maybe people should give him time to develop before we start picking apart his game. Most of the posts were about things he needs to work on, i simply stated my opinion and wrote the things he is good at (which is his pace and endurance)

Dont tell me to shut up either mate, il do what the hell i god dam want and il say what i want as well. Im allowed to have an opinion just as much as the next person.

Haha. I notice that waiting a while before we analyse his game doesn't apply to you. As you have said he is going to be very good based on 1-3 games.

Stoods · Apr 30, 2015

I said i have a feeling, i dont know that for sure.. Just a feeling. If im wrong il cop it on the chin, but a little positivity never hurt. Im sure you hope he will be a gun as well, as we all do. Go pies

He will be a Brownlow medallist somewhere in his career.

IMO, neither is particularly relevant.

He isn't a marking option, he isn't a good rover (as mentioned above) and his main strength is finding it in space which is hard to get in the forward 50.

We also aren't using him as a tagger moving forward. That role is going the way of the dodo and anyone we'd send him to would just push into the middle and they'll lose him because he lacks inside instincts.

Sounds like Caff is still in the job then.
