Mathew Michael

[ImperialPurple]

Son of Stephen, brother of Clem.

BOG in South Freo colts defeat of Subi colts today. Available to us as a F/S selection...

... if we convince the family that the club won't screw his knees up, then do him over like we did his big bro...


Fingers crossed.

 

[estibador]

Available this year? Is he a ruckman? Could be the third ruckman in the squad we need.

It was a massive shame Clem's knee gave out like that. He looked like he was going to turn into a really top quality aggressive ruckman. There were stories that he wasn't as committed to his rehab as he should have been though.

We haven't had much luck with ruckmen so far have we? What with White being a mummies boy, JLo and Clem having dodgy knees and Bandy turning out to be a better long distance runner than footballer.

 

[Tundrawolf]

Has played Centre Half Back most of the season.
He has the size and of course the pedigree

He certainly has....
I hope we can get him.....

 

[ImperialPurple]

I think he's available next year.

 

[Plugga]

Can anyone state categorically that he is available as a Father/Son pick? If he is...superb....sign him now

 

[Bradesmaen]

Is he any good?

 

[Lach72]

Just when they've changed the rules for FS too.

I can just see the eagles putting in a sabotage bid for him too. Evil bastards.

 

[rgauci]

They haven't changed the rules yet as far as im concerned.

 

[jo172]

I have no idea about this player but what a terrible name. Very cruel parents!

 

[Black Ball]

Is he any good?

If his surname wasn't Michael he wouldn't rate a mention on here.

When your father is the greatest player ever to come out of WA... and your brother was a handy type - you'd have to be worth a mention and a look to see how you get on.

Just for the memory:

Peakey wouldn't have got much interest either if he wasn't "the son of"... but I'm pretty happy with what he offers us.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I don't know, Polly Farmer came from WA

 

[ImperialPurple]

I don't know, Polly Farmer came from WA

Polly Farmer was a very, very, very close second. (If he played for South Fremantle I might concede he was the best... but he didn't, so he can't be... ).

Spot on!!!

The Greatest!

 

[Freo Shark]

Michael was good sure but Bomber Peake was the best of them all.

 

[The Night Shift]

ah... yes.. the eternal question that can split the Fremantle fans of the South and East variety....

Whom was better

Brian Peake - the man who at times had the forward line cleared out and was only him in it... because he was so good...

Stephen Michael - proof humans can have deity like toughness, courage and skill... and he took no sh-t as well...

 

[FootyEater]

There has been a helluva lot of great players to come from both sth and east. surely michael would just pip peake though wouldnt he?

 

[Plugga]

TI for me was better....though hard to compare players from different possies on the field.

Re Matthew...does he qualify for F/S this draft...or ever for that matter?

Hold old are Kicketty's kids?

Any other F/S Selections availble soon?

 

[kane249]

Is Daniel Michael who als plays for South any relation to them?

Daniel is TI's nephew, apparently.

 

[nurries]

Daniel is TI's nephew, apparently.

aahhh. The Michael Dynasty continues

 

[TOA.]

Are you guys 100% sure he is eligible?

I seem to recall something came to light over the past 18 months that meant he wasnt eligible. I dont recall exactly but there was one kid that wouldnt be eligble for Freo and the club werent that impressed. I thought it was Micheal. Something about being a cousin to Clem not brother?

Daniel is Clem's cousin.

Not 100% sure - just remember there being talk a year or two back that Mathew Michael would be draft age in a couple of years and that he was Stephen Michael's son and therefore eligible for us to pick up F/S.

I don't know anything about what you've mentioned... unless Mathew just lives with Stephen's family but isn't actually his son????

Don't know - but would be interested to find out.
