Certified Legendary Thread Nathan Freeman Updates

Wow he must be in some sort of knick if he can beat Newnes.

Thought the same, positive signs. Adds a needed dynamic to our midfield if he's fit and firing, would be awesome support as a burst type with Steven. Hope he gets through the pre-season. Has been a while since the last set back and now finishing 2nd in the time trial shows his confidence in his running would be improving.

That's fantastic news, really happy for him. Go Freezer!

Gonna be a fair amount of hype around him closer to the season after everything that's happened

Most likely the red line is for 400m but perhaps it marks out the dimensions of Docklands for training purposes!

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else but Nathan Freeman ran second in the 3k time trial today! Top five was Geary, Freeman, Newnes, Ross, Weller/Armo

So he's still at 85-90% only...

Any idea what time he ran?

2nd in a 3k is amazing. No slouch at that distance.

 

[RWBlyf]

Go freezer!!!

 

[austinnn]

Meat and drink for him. It's more sprints I'd be worried about.

I was talking to a guy last night who's played a lot of footy with Freezer, he was saying 1: the guy is an absolute beast when it comes to winning the footy 2: His hammy probs are now mainly in his head, a confidence thing, which is understandable, thats why he pulls up so much. He only has to get an itch on his hammy and he will pull up, see how he goes pre season to get some confidence back, i hope he doesnt ping one, if not we will have another beast in the Bull Pen.

Everyone on an afl list is a beast in lower grades of footy. I played against Steven baker after he retired and even he looked like a rolls Royce at amateur level.
Hopefully freezer can play some games.

Lucky he wasn't tagging you, you'd still feel the pain.

Judging by the photo hes trimmed the bulk down a bit?
Could be a tactic in freeing up the hammies......

400m. Need a correct distance so boys can hit their times on each run.

Was going at 70%. Did 5m 27s.

 

[Keg on legs]

Was going at 70%. Did 5m 27s.

And i assume he pulled up well MG?

Like I've said previously mate, he's physically really good, has been pretty much since January.
A little luck to build some confidence is all the young fella needs.

wait, so it was only a 2km Moorabbin Ghost?

Tongue planted in cheek:

We'll that's great but hardly surprising.

While everyone else has been playing games of football the last 3 years, he's been jogging recovery laps!

He'd wanna be bloody good at running around an oval by now!

 

[St_Laz]

Check out the strain in the hammies, take it easyyy maannngggg

 

[dewah07]

as if people are surprised about his 3km times.

 

[Quixote]

Freeman has slimmed down quite a bit since we picked him up.
