Certified Legendary Thread Nathan Freeman Updates

[plugger66]

Pretty rough assessment after only 2 games back from long term injuries, his still a kid ffs.

He has played about 15 games not 2. If you don’t count seconds footy then no player should be delisted without playing firsts. Many are though. We wanted him to come good and I bet many not happy haven’t even seen him play at sandy. There is no way a player who now plays like him would be drafted. It’s sad for the guy because I saw plenty of him at dragons and he was a potential gun

 

[Jaeger]

Was good of the Saints to give him exposure to AFL but this decision wouldn't have been made overnight.

His body can't withstand the rigours of professional footy. Not the first and won't be the last.

Dear Saints,

 

[Tom12]

I can't figure out if I like this or not, but one thing is for sure the club gets an A+ on how to completely disengage with their fan-base.

 

[Sab22]

Rookie spot for sure otherwise waste of a million dollars

 

[XhazzafootyX]

oi nah but we will get an injury prone midfielder who is past his prime at 28. Sweeeeeeet

 

[kosifantutti]

Should have seen this coming when they gave away the number 10 jumper.

We asked for ruthless culling - let the culling begin...... No more feel good stories.... more hard nosed trades. The line in the sand has been drawn!!

Ruthless culling of do nothings like Newnes and Weller. Not blokes who actually have a chance of taking this joke of a club forward. What an absolute waste.

Opening up the spot for another overpriced slow midfielder with injury concerns perhaps...

Let Freezer go but we'll likely keep Armo for his pace and agility

Make Newnes captain and Weller back in the leadership group.

Extend Richos contract again to really make us a more stable club.

Ruthless culling doesn’t work when you have a first round draft pick then pick 69, 90, 150, 210 though.

One mistake keeping armo doesn’t justify two mistakes keeping freeman. The funny thing is he knew where he was at and wasn’t pissed off with the club

 

[King_Knut]

**** you St Kilda

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Why is everyone freaking out.
Tell me the club didnt try everything to get the best out of their investment in him over the years.
No way they just delist him on a whim.

They are tradeable commodities. Unfortunately Freezer was not. They will also find the door hopefully in good time. Those who barely survive the 2018 cull will be shitting themselves over Summer now - live up to higher expectations or head to Centrelink.

 

[joop]

Can't believe people are surprised and/or disappointed. He played 2 games in 3 years! Unfortunately his body just isn't up to it, he barely gets out of a jog these days and doesn't kick it over 30m. We should look back and be happy the club fufilled his dream after all his obstacles and hard work. But he's too inury prone, even after he got dropped he went back to the VFL and got injured in the last game!
Well done freezer on playing AFL football, not many people get to do it and you earned it more than most!
Best of luck!

 

[Stewart66]

An absolute joke.

Was set up for failure George .

Good to see you back Pluggs!

 

[Keg on legs]

**** you St Kilda

Elloquently put KK. I concur

 

[stfan]

Come on. Club has to make room for the super-durable, superquick Hanners.

We finally got him right and then he's out the door.

I'd be hoping we rookie list him. We have worse players on the list than him right now. Give him a 1 year deal, if he doesn't work his way onto the senior list and play a dozen or so games then give him the boot.

Obviously happy he got to play at least one game...but geez...

 

[BrutThough]

Disappointing for Freezer but that's football.
Unfortunately his injuries mean he isn't the player we traded for three years ago and therefore, isnt what we want or need.
Being a feel good story doesn't protect you from the harsh reality of the industry.

We haven't used a pick beyond 56 in years for drafting purposes and we won't be starting now. Hence the ruthless culling call. This is the start of many farewells.
