Player Watch Nathan Freeman

[Go Woods]

The guy is a top 10 pick, we need to give him every opportunity to get back and show us the reason why Hine selected him, when he gets fit and starts firing I think he could be something special.

I'm sure Freeman would have preferred that his hamstring didn't snap. What have you done in the last 2 years that is worthy of recall?

Im nit an afl player....what have u done

 

[Ketchup]

Played less games than Ben Reid in the past 2 years.

Should he consider retirement?

He is 20 years old!!!! Club will give him the time he needs to get if right.

Don't you like people questioning your worth?

The odds of him being a 200 games player now would have to be 75-1. Id almost be looking to move him on a trade now if he doesn't play this year.

I'll have $5 on it.

So many ridiculous comments on here by various people.
Petracca the #1 pick last year done an ACL.
Is that the end of the world?
Freeman had one of the worst tears ever to his hammy or abductor.
It did not heal properly because there was scarring. It will eventually heal. I'm sure he would rather be healthy & injury free.
If the club was patient with Josh Thomas for so long, I'm pretty sure they will do the same with Freeman.

I'll take $10

What does almost look to moving him on in a trade if he doesn't play this year mean anyway?

If he does play you wouldn't trade him? If he doesn't play you may or may not trade him?

If he doesn't play this year but is fit before trade week you would still trade an untried top 10 pick for unders?

I'm glad intelligent football people are running our club instead of people like you

Must you attack anyone that says something you disagree with?

I didn't "attack" him.

You did. You get personal and ask what he's done in the past 2 years. He isn't paid to play AFL football and should not be judged on his ability as a footballer.

He made a derogatory comment about a young man who has had his chance to play footy taken away through injury. It was a low act from a poster who has a history of sinking the boots in. If you want to align yourself with him then be my guest. I certainly will not be apologising for my posts.

You realize that not everyone makes a full recovery from serious injuries right? What exactly are you trying to prove with this post, that the world is not literally ending because we will be patient with Freeman? True. However it is pretty depressing to think he may not be the player he was pre-injury after spending a top 10 pick on him. Getting top 10 picks right is crucial for premiership success.

So many medical opinions

Yes, it's definitely hard to tell whether this is a good or bad hamstring injury a season and a half after it happened.

I'll have to consult my local GP to see if it's normal for a hamstring injury to keep a bloke out for nearly 2 years.

 

[THATSGOLD]

I'll have $5 on it.

He won't even debut until next year. Having $5 on it is not a good bet. If you pick a top 10 player today you should be getting better odds than 75-1 that he will make it to 200 makes. Imo Freeman is now a bust.

He didn't just tear his hamstring, he had surgery to repair tendons that fail his hammies and he is still not right. The last surgery was meant to be a clean up job now he is gone for while.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

We have plenty of room on our list to carry him. No need to panic just yet.

I would hate to be a teenager trying to get out for a bit of fun on a saturday and have BF people as parents....
