"Wants more senior opportunities"

Hahah wow what a joke. Get your body on the park and maybe you would have got a game... $300,000 a year enjoy the pay packet. Money hungry
We've shown for years that age is no factor in getting senior games. Show form and who'll get a game.


No one understands how dirty the club is on Freeman. He is leaving Collingwood on probably the worst terms of anyone since Nick Davis. And even then, he is leaving on worse terms as he has been a d1ck with his negotiations and has only left for money that he is not entitled to. At least Nick left to go home.
Balme was pretty harsh with his comments the other, although I sense he was holding a lot back.

Why? I wanted to see what you all thought of the kid; I was a big wrap for him in his draft year.

You have to wonder why he's so dirty on your club that he would basically stonewall on a new contract and down tools to get a move, because it's a pretty unusual course.
Of course you're not trolling hence why you wrote this on your board

Jesus CHRIST... Had a wander over to the Filth trade thread, and there's some ****nuts saying we ought to cough up our first pick for Freeman...

Yep, our pick 5 for a former pick 10 who hasn't managed a game due to persistent injuries... o_O

This is why you shouldn't allow computer access in custody.

u do realise saints fans were happy he won, wasn't his fault he was shafted with match time.
Saints fans were happy their ex-captain who the club let go for nothing got a premiership medallion? Wish I'd known that when I left the MCG that day - I could have reminded them how happy they were. Guess you have to find even the tinniest opportunities for happiness when your club has such a long miserable history. Maybe little boy Freeman can help out the caterers next year at the 50th anniversary of the Aint's one and only, solitary, lone, single, sole premiership? Keep smilin'!

Nah, it is you who should wonder, he has been on the list for two years, we have nursed him through injuries and if it is to be believed that he is leaving due to lack of opportunities with the possibility of Treloar coming to us, then you would wonder about his motivation to succeed.

Not sure where you go he is dirty from. You see this is how animosity is built up and we get opposition fans like you coming to our board making unfounded statements.

Lucky our moderators are 'nice'.

I loved Acres in his draft year and was hoping if anything he would be more advanced than he is (though he has during his first year certainly struggled with injury). He has shown glimpses this season though probably still needs another preseason under his belt.

If it's Acres and St Kilda 2nd round selection for Freeman that would get me thinking.
acres is our longest contracted player on our list under 25

Can anyone else see the irony of us stressing all year that scharenberg was leaving for it to end up being freeman?
No because Scharenberg is good at football.

If Freeman gets us Aish I'd consider it an upgrade and walk away smiling.

I think you misunderstood me, I'm genuinely curious. I've heard a lot of most likely baseless rumour about run-ins with the medical staff, but it's still a very odd way to behave.

Don't be a flog dear. It's amusing watching blokes wishing him further injuries and generally having tantys on here, when I'm sure you'd be aghast at GWS supporters doing just the same...

He's leaving, I'm sure Treloar will help you move on.
Unless you have anything constructive to add could you please go elsewhere? The people who wished injuries on him were called out for it. Funny how its always the fans of the minnow loser clubs who like to gloat in these situations

I very much doubt that anyone knows the truth however maybe you could word your curiosity a bit better then you wouldn't be misunderstood.

Fitness? He was easily one of the fittest blokes on our list. Fitness was never going to be an issue with him.
No doubt he was a very good runner. However, there are more aspects to fitness than just having the ability to run. I know enough about this bloke to not be overly fussed that he's leaving. Treloar is a massive upgrade anyway.

Given we are not getting much for him via trade, I don't hate the idea of making him walk and hoping Carlton pick him up or he nominates a price even more than the ridiculous money the saints have offered him

Its largely speculation based on his recurring injuries not just to him but to other members of the squad. Fact is not many pie fans were happy with what was going on and were questioning the performance of the medical and conditioning department. He probably just wants a fresh start hoping it leads to a change in luck.

its is unusual. usually when another club offers you more money it doesn't work. in this case it has.

Yeah he is. He put up the gif of Michael Jackson to bait posters into replying to him, causing a shit slinging fight

Blatant troll.

Yes so that's why his first post is the Michael Jackson gif...

Face facts, if one of our posters came on to your board and did that, they'd have been carded by Kildonan/Squizzy before they'd even refresh the page
