Not sure what sort of contract Id give him. Maybe one year tops? 60k?

now off his rookie contract it would be more than that the league would have a minim pay a bit more than that I would guess

If we tried to Rookie him, I'd complete understand him going elsewhere to get a senior spot. Not his fault he's been injured.

Waiting to see if Scharenberg leaves any money for him ;)

Him not playing could work out as a little bonus for us short term in that we would have budgeted for an increase in his next contract, whereas you wouldn't think that he would be asking much more after the start to the career he has had.

Probably would have thought the same about Shazz too, but the fact that he is a valued interstater lifts his asking price a little.

Why?

Its just gives other clubs a chance to get him for free.

No it doesn't. He's on our rookie list! And if he's got any loyalty or decency after spending his first 2 years at the club clocking up medical expenses he might stick around and play some footy to repay us at some stage. IF he gets on the park and can play consistently well enough.. he can be the priority to be upgraded at some stage during the year. Otherwise... bye bye thanks for nothing.

Whose fault is it then? In the scheme of performance based contracts etc, having a body that is capable of playing and withstanding AFL footy is number 1 on the list of player requirements.

Huh?! Freeman is certainly not on the Rookie List.

You don't just move a player from the Primary List to the Rookie List, they have to be delisted first, then you pick them up again (if you can). Someone else would take a punt on him and we'd lose a potential star for nothing.

All of you mob bagging the kid are idiots.
He was at the VFL game today sitting behind me next to DeGoey, Pendles, Reid, Maynard, Goodyear and Bucks.

The club won't be trading him or putting him on rookie list you muppets.

No way Freeman would be delisted.

There is a reason he went at pick 10 two years back so we just have to be patient and support him.

Not his fault his hamstring got ripped off the bone.

Get him healthy and the upside is huge.

I'm happy with giving him time to get his body and and see what he can do but I can't get that excited about freeman and don't think he has that much potential. At the time we drafted him I liked him the least out of the 4 draftees. Has awesome athletic capabilities but I don't rate his actual football ability and don't think its something most people learn.
 
Hes still going to ve with us; if he gets a clear run at it, he will deliver very nicely thank you.
Think about it as a nice xmas present just waiting to be opened.

ps just dont drop the box it is fragile

We've indicated we'll take those players in the Rookie Draft IF they're available. They don't go straight from the main list to the Rookie List. e.g. North Melbourne wanted to put Cameron Delaney on their R/L at the end of last year after delisting him from the main list, but Geelong got in before them and snapped him up in the Rookie Draft.

Yeah that's the problem. We need to keep him. If Josh Thomas was given 3 or so years to come good, I'd be surprised if Freeman wasn't given at least 1 more year.

Yes it does, for us to be able to put him on our rookie list, we have to de-list him and pick him up in the rookie draft, what we did to Tony Armstrong last year.

It gives teams a chance to pick him up in the national draft, pre season draft and teams who have picks before in the rookie draft. It also straight up allows teams to sign him as a de-listed free agent.

I don't get starstruck like some. I was not bragging about sitting near a kid who can kick a football.
I was sitting in the Grand Stand and they came and sat behind me by chance. I did not chase them.
The point is that he made an effort to come to the game and was sitting with the coach and other senior players.
Many other players did not bother showing up.
