Player Watch Nathan Freeman

[blaze036]

Let's hope so. Shouldn't the Medical staff know he had Tight Hammies?

Maybe but wouldn't be surprised if a young kid kept it secret as he was so desperate to play (also missed the intraclub match) or down played it.

Sometimes shit just happens TD. You can bet his hammys will be carefully monitored and cared for from now on.

I suspect this is the case. Either that or he was so excited to play his first match for an AFL club he pushed himself insanely hard and did an injury. His body probably hasn't done this much training before either, so it could be a number of factors.

Maybe he wanted a holiday and planned it all?

The trainers would have known if he was tight heading into the match whether he admitted it or not.

The strain would most likely have been due to the fact that he's probably never been fatigued like that before in his life and just pushed too hard too early.

This won't effect him moving forward.

Well that be good, Don't want this to come a Long-Term Problem

He'll be right.

The way I view it is that worst case scenario he has similar issues to Rioli. He also had hamstring problems from a young age, but has played 121 games in 6 completed seasons.

Does he surf?

The Daisy rehab clinic?

Happy for him to take 6-8 weeks to be honest. His quads to hammy ratio may be too high. Some strength worth on his hammies over time may help the balance and reduce risk of recurrence. All young players do squats to build their quads, but often hammies get neglected.

After a shocking first year ruined by injury, i think Nathan Freeman is an exciting player to watch at pie-land in 2015 being leaner and staying injury free.

Freeman Height 183 cm Weight 87 kg

The story so far in itself, is exciting.

Freeman, who was drafted to Collingwood with the tenth overall selection in the 2013 National Draft, played barely a quarter of football all year.

He injured his hamstring during the Magpies’ NAB Challenge opener against Geelong at Simonds Stadium and was not sighted for the remainder of the season.

Seemingly forever 2-3 weeks away from a return, Freeman was forced to cool his jets before turning his focus towards 2015.

The upsideFreeman has already given supporters reason to track his progress with a keen eye.

He blitzed all comers in the first time trial of the pre-season and then pushed long distance king Steele Sidebottom all the way when all players ran their two kilometre time trial around Olympic Park in December.

Already known for his leg speed and readymade frame, for Freeman to add a strong endurance base means he will be set to put his hand up to make a difference early in 2015.

The statFreeman led the Sandringham U18s for inside 50s in his final TAC Cup year despite playing just seven games.

In a nutshell
Still yet to turn 20, Freeman’s energetic approach to his game means he will quickly become a favourite of the Magpie Army. It’s been all green lights so far during the pre-season, meaning he will have put forward a strong case for inclusion in the team’s NAB Challenge squads.
