Delisted Nathan Freeman [delisted]

[Chaisa]

Just got delisted by St Kilda.

Terrible move given how much they stood by him without playing a game.

Was super hyped up in his draft year. Will he get interest?

No chance.

Body is shot to smithereens.

No chance.

He started to string games together though? Lost his speed

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Freeman had 1 thing going for him. Pace.

However it is hard to run fast with those hammy's.

Why would anyone take a chance on him when he hasnt shown anything in 5 years?

People only think hes still worth something because of his draft position.

He's done.

Yeah but he started to string games together back end of the season? Are you saying they gifted an injured player two games?

 

[kreglze]

Would stay well clear. If all he had to him was pace as mentioned, those hammys will keep him well out.

2 games in 5 years warrants another contract?

wish i was an afl player sometimes

I’m aware of his issues. Thanks for not answering the question

 

[Nostradumbass]

Just a trivia question now

When sam Gilbert is getting a game ahead of you. your in trouble.

I saw all his sandy games this year.he is done.just not that good an got a stack of padded stats to make it look like he was doing well.

 

[danster168]

really disappointing. people are insinuating that it was nathan freemans fault. his body let him down. if anyone watched his junior footy he had all the traits of being one of the stars of this competition.

 

[Atomboy]

Tough luck for the young guy.

Both parties gave it a crack but came up short ultimately. Could have probably given him one last game against the Roos.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Reckon another club will give him a crack, even if it's as a rookie pick.....Way too much talent.....Just need to be patient & get him there slowly, slowly.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Probably one of St Kilda's smarter decisions. An injury plagued bloke like that is nothing more than a list clogger.

 

[Tulip]

Stinks of St Kilda trying to "make a statement" in lieu of not being able to sack their coach (he's contracted til '20), but totally missing the mark. There are many, many players less worth persisting with for another year than Freeman. Hope he gets a rookie spot elsewhere, could see a club like Sydney taking him on the cheap.

It was their due diligence to play him and see how he goes at the level, what they saw must not have been encouraging enough to keep on with his injury history.

I would think/hope there are many, many other players also out the door with him so we are indeed making a “statement”.

Can think of 7-8 off the top of my head.

 

[TheJackal]

If he had currency I doubt he would've been deleted so early. Sad for the kid but as I've mentioned on the Saints board, he has earnt over a million dollars in five years for a two game career. So farewell and good luck with your future endeavours Freezer

watch the hawks pick him up and turn him into a 150+ gamer.

You'd probably want to do a thorough medical examination before-hand prior to doing so....For a classical Collingwood 6 footer, he's a solidly built lad.

Turns 25 next year in June, so time is quickly running out for him to get his body right.....Maybe it's just his running technique combined with some other lingering physiological issues he's been over-compensating for....who knows.

 

[Snoop Dog]

Collingwood know the kid and liked the kid. They didnt want him to go so you would think they would at least do a medical on him and if all passed then for sure you would look at putting him on the rookie list and seeing how it goes.

having said that if it was true that he left in part bc of our S&C team then probably unlikely he would come back.

If he passed relevant tests be a good one for Carlton or Essendon.

 

[Rockstar6]

Rookie pick at best.

 

[Taylor]

If he can run a sub 2.9s 20m sprint then he might be worth another look.

His combine result was 2.82s

 

[Jatz]

Would potentially be worth a rookie pick at a club that wouldn’t need to rely on him to play each week. Like maybe Geelong for instance.
