After 3000 posts about a bloke who's played about 4 games of football in the time he's been at the Saints I think we've all lost our collective shit.

Actually Jake the Snake has an even better post to game ratio...

I apologise for starting the digression into grammar - I fully understand the medium and have significantly lowered my expectations, but just was curious about that one point, did genuinely think it had become a trend in the broader Australian society, but it seems not.

Nathan Freeman: he will be fine.

Not sure if the right thread to post serious news about Freezer but....

He smashed his pre Christmas training block. Best he's looked since he arrived and he says he's feeling better than he has in a long time.
I mentioned a while back about the mental side of things in having confidence in his body to really push himself, and for those that have been to training you would have seen him looking pretty dynamic and confident. He's showed some very encouraging signs in the clearance and match sim drills.
He's got some pretty specific work to do over the break to keep his body ticking over to where we want it to be, but he's super professional and will come back after Christmas having ticked all the boxes.
Still a long way to go for the kid but it's really encouraging so far. Fingers crossed that he can hit the pre season games coming off an injury free summer.

Awesome news, I think some on here have been harsh on the kid. Came to our list after some (supposed) mismanagement of his injuries and needed to recover and build up some consistency. He's only been on our list for 12 months, we gave Spencer White and some other iffy selections several years. I'd be completely fine with not seeing Nathan getting an AFL debut until the second half of the season if it meant he and the club were comfortable he could go out and play well. He would be a really nice addition to our midfield/half-forward area though, he and Steven would be 2 of the fastest mids going around! And then a big bodied midfielder in Acres and a then a heap of others to pick from.

So, in your opinion, should be keep ticking boxes as he has/is..he'd be in line to play a Saints pre-season game?

Great news there.....as with so many other things with the Club at the moment....the planets seem to be aligning !!!!

It all seems a little surreal.....I'm still getting my head around the fact that it was only 3 seasons ago that we won the spoon !!!!!

Thanks for the update MG

I reckon we are all hopeful but always nervous. To get an insight from inside the 4 walls that he's tracking so well gives great hope.

Bring on 2017!!

And he just cruised. I'd imagine when he's really pushing he'd be at worst second behind Gears, but he'd be a real show of coming in first.
He's looking good. Fingers crossed.

Do you know if he has had any more hamstring awareness this off season?

From what the sports science people were saying last time around it is a pretty common thing to happen, but if he has ignored it and got on with training that could be a real sign of confidence.

With his history, if he had hamstring awareness he'd pull up. It sounds like he really is flying this preseason. The next test will be can his hamstrings stand up to week in week out training and playing loads. Fingers crossed. Touch wood.

Next step before week in week out is fatigue in the back end of games
