Player Watch Nathan Freeman

[Kappa]

Doesnt mean it wont work

Well it already hasn't worked.

It's been done and he still can't get on the park

There has to be some miss management from the fitness staff, when it first happened it was reported as a 3-4 week hammy. After the season went buy without playing again Davoren comes out with the worst hamstring he has seen line. If so how did they not know that at the time and actually reported it. There was no need to keep other clubs and fans guessing, to me they have missed managed his recovery to the point he did it again.

I'm worried he will never be the burst player we all want him to be.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

One miracle at a time please. We already had two miracles last week with Reid and Sinclair.

Agree - These Bad Hammy could Kill his Burst and that will just make him an average Player. As that takes his Major Weapon and why he was Drafted in the Top 10 for

Hopefully can get back before VFL finals

VFL finals in 3 weeks

No chance.

Still needs to get over this latest setback then have some time on the training track

Yeah but should Ben Reid retire

heck me dead if there's a negative to be pointed out you're guaranteed to go there.

I'm sorry that deeply upsets you.

Davoren still has a job - only the best!

 

[SpongePie]

Poor kid! Though I imagine he does alright with the ladies, so at least he had that.

Did Dangerfield have a bunch of injuries early in his career? Something rings a bell... Any idea if similar to Freeman?

He took the first year off to do year 12. Not sure about injuries after that

I sincerely hope so - I need every straw I can clutch right about now.

Spot On - He stayed in Geelong for his 1st Season. Even played TAC Cup Footy when he was on the Crows List. I remember him playing 1 Game for Adelaide at the Dome vs Essendon on the School Holidays

 

[Hardas]

Sooo,
Abbott - gone for season;
Broomy, Freeman and Ramsay - likely gone for season, but not 100% yet;
Gault - out this week and struggling;
Oxley- likely this week [VFL]
Caff - back!!! [VFL]
Cloke - back! [AFL]

Not Missing Gault at All. De-Listed end of Season

 

[YeahNahYeahNah]

That sucks! Hopefully can get it right in the post season. The only positive is that the rest of his draft bar 2 to 3 players haven't done anything special.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Its not that he hasn't played a senior game his barley played a vfl match....not looking good

Ahh that's it. Thanks mate. I knew he missed a lot early, couldn't remember why.

It's a bitch - no doubt about it.

 

[left at home]

give him the rest of the season off not worth it now

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

He is 20 years old ... Has had a couple of hammys, therefore you conclude it is ''career threatening'' and he might not make it???

Or maybe you are just impatient/pissed off our pick 10 two years ago hasn't played a game yet when other players in that draft have already played a handful

He hasn't just 'had a couple of hammys'. He has had 2 year's worth of hammys, and never played a senior game. His game is built around pace. I can see plenty of reason to be very concerned about his future. While I don't often or always agree with kappa, I do in relation to this bloke. Until he actually plays an AFL game, I am going to believe he will never play AFL football. I see him as another Lee Walker or Sean Rusling, with one big difference - both those players played good AFL football before injury destroyed their careers.

By the end of this year, he will have been on the list for 44 AFL games and he will have missed maybe 40 of them through an injury to his hamstring - an injury that usually only takes 4 weeks to heal.

Do you think that this isn't career threatening?

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Realistically probably wasnt going to get a game in the seniors this year so not a massive issue in his long term development.

Dont think we should be too worried, would be worse if he had made it back to full fitness and had redone it.

Trying to pretend this isnt seriously disappointing...

You are doing a lousy job of pretending.

 

[ClaytonM]

It's funny cos you knew it was coming

Yeah this bloke has been here less than 12 months made 5000+ comments and 4999 of them have been negative. Just the best kind supporter.

 

[Ketchup]

Hasn't signed yet. Yet to play a game in two years of football. Wonder if he'll want out of something he could think he a rookie organisation.
