Welcome Isaiah Dudley - Welcome to Fremantle (SSP Selection)

[Ghost Pig]

Not enough, you need to carry the full weight of them on your back

Tonga Bob lock it in, my back will be the bridge on which Isaiah shimmy's into the 22.

 

[Torree]

How special was that announcement. Good for him!

Really happy to have him on board. Seems to have no trouble finding the ball and has skills.

Love it!!!

So good. No pressure though after an announcement like that ha ha

Hate to rain on the parade but watched him in the SANFL for a couple of years but will struggle with his size. Has good skills but to compete often had to hold his opponents jumper and arms to compete in the air , may be a problem at afl level. Hope I am wrong

It's a good point you make, but really if you're good enough and fit enough, his height wont restrict him. you dont need height to be a good crumber. i recall a pretty short fellow we used to have on the list called Peter Bell. He went ok.

It's all good, by signing on and getting him out of SA he's already done 90% of his job. Any games from here are a bonus

 

[Dump Truck]

Jeez, that one had someone cutting up onions!

All the best Dudley! Glad to have you on board.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Is Kosi the last guy to hug him at the end of the video?

8D chess.

Looked like it. Should we tag in an expert or two from the Demons board to confirm?

 

[Quay Club]

I know Pearce is tall but Dudley Do-Right makes him look like a giant!

Looking forward to some head high tackle free kicks.

 

[oldgoat]

The way things are going we might be the Indigenous Allstars pretty soon. Not before time mind you.

Deadly!

 

[kingswood71]

Awesome! Welcome Duds!

 

[Joose]

Really hope this boy does well but he will be up against it with his height.

Players of his size have to be really really good to make it in the AFL. Caleb Daniel was one but he is an exceptional talent. Another 10 or 12 cms and he would have been a Brownlow Medallist.

Go Dudley Do-Right!

 

[Joose]

His nickname should be "Bo". Bo Dudley.

If you dont know who Bo Diddly was then you are bereft of all hope.

 

[FreoRicci]

Free hit, we aren’t desperate for a small forward but a young mature ager may come in handy.

Good to have another indigenous lad on the list too.

Tbh we actually are. Bolton is a medium forward. Needed someone to replace Schulz then Walters.
Really keen to see how Dudley goes. Up to him now to take his chance

 

[poshman]

Plus some class and experience in the role will be handy at Peel.

Here is hoping he makes the best of it. Great announcement video.

 

[Minz]

All these people saying Dudley’s short…. well, now I’ve seen his family, I can tell you, actually he’s tall (for his family). Same as I am

 

[FreoRicci]

Love the last words.
It’s been your dream and passion. Now it’s up to you, we cant do it for you.

Really good words to live by actually

Fellow BF poster's, the Fremantle football club once famous for having the tallest player in the AFL, have drafted Isaiah Dudley the shortest player in the AFL by the best part of an inch, but don't let his stature fool you, this wombat of the forward line is a hard bastard with silky skills!

In his first full season of SANFL league footy Isaiah went at better than a goal a game, kicked 2.2 in a prelim and had a game high 8 tackles in the semi, finishing top 3 in the best and fairest and in a top four side!

Let's get around him, let's dream of the lightning fast ball drop, the high tackle free's for in the goal square and a young man living his dream playing for the greatest sporting club in the world!!!!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Congrats on the newest addition of your newest player.

Here's something from 2018.

Kid top right might also be familiar to you guys.

 

[Andy Brennan]

Is that pat voas top right?

 

[The Feeder Club]

Has good skills but to compete often had to hold his opponents jumper and arms to compete in the air

So, we just signed up Eddie Betts. Excellent news

 

[DragoDelph]

So is Dudley an emergency for tomorrow? Was signing all stars jumpers.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Is that pat voas top right?

You've got it.

 

[fleur]

He is seriously height challenged. That's Caleb on the right, who is midget-adjacent himself

looks like Erasmus to me
