By the sounds of the reportage of the Sandy game, he wasn't really tested fully, they want to ease him in I'd expect, and rightly so. Building his own trust of his body now is key.

Agreed. I reckon it's as much mental as it is physical with Freezer. Probably even more mental than physical I suspect. Slowly slowly. Play VFL and build confidence this year. Get a decent pre season into him and them debut him next year all going smoothly.

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

Really hoping he plays this week
But you could see him having a week off in his situation

He's fine. If he gets through training this week the plan is for him to play Sandringham Seniors again.

A few more weeks at Sandy and maybe even a late 2016 AFL debut?!

Has to play well like any other player
Fair way off for mine

 

[Punter!]

Guys let's be honest - there is probably a 1% chance of Freezer debuting this year.
He is basically a 1st year player who has come off a significantly injury interrupted year.

He would need to play every VFL game and start to dominate them in the last few to be a sniff.

AND at this stage he surely does not deserve a game in front of the likes of Templeton and O'Kearney who are stringing together some really impressive performances.

Cue in the rack for mine. A handful of VFL games and then a massive pre-season to follow.

Yep, what you said

Yep, I think it's a matter of him working out the difference between normal hamstring awareness (that everyone has but that he has likely become super aware of) and pain/awareness that points to a serious issue. It sounds ridiculous but so much of this is in the mind and the only thing that fixes his mind is getting through matches like the weekend unscathed. There's still a long way to go but there are positive signs.

Too rational, booo

So you are saying there is a chance?

yes

As someone said about someone else, it would apply to Freeman;

"He’s here for a career, not for one round, but if it is that he gets selected, I’m sure he will play his role"

There's no doubt that would be pleasing.

Freezer named to play in the Zebs seniors again this week

 

[Baughb]

Even though playing AFL this year is very unlikely, kid can gain a whole lot of confidence by finishing out the season with the zebs. Hopefully comes into the preseason raring to go and gives geary some competition in the time trials.

 

[66sainter]

If someone were to tell me 4 weeks ago that id be watching Freezer play footy live on channel 7 on the weekend i would have laughed in their face, oh footy...

 

[Glen Buterol]

Great to the the big fella backing up this week. The more minutes he plays the more confidence he regains in his body.

He is a fella but not big.

 

[Roadto2018]

Nathan getting through tomorrow with 20+ possies would be a great way to finish off an already outstanding weekend

 

[RWB4life]

So how he go?
