Player Watch Nathan Freeman

[spartan-magpie]

Is it confirmed he's leaving? Sorry at work. Haven't been following...

 

[mattys123]

Trade to the Roos for their first rounder, throw in Seeds if need be.

Any Truth to This?

 

[sr36]

Witts is under contract and doesn't want to go back to Sydney.

You can trade contracted players. I reckon we'd get a pretty good price for him from a few Victorian clubs.

Our medical involves setting fire to dwarves

And schoolgirl-related endurance, if you know what I mean...

 

[TradeDraft]

I have a feeling this one is going to haunt us in years to come. I hope I am wrong, but always had a feeling Freeman would be a gun player. Just looks the goods.

2nd Here. I been a Fan of Freeman since we Drafted him and Felt he added something Different to our Midfield.

But his Hammy Killed his Collingwood Career and Left for $$$$$

 

[left at home]

just wanted to post a post

The disappointment at losing a highly rated youngster for no output is tempered by the sneaking suspicion that we had more than a little responsibility for that same lack of output.

 

[spartan-magpie]

Wow. Ok. Thanks for link mattys123 !


Let st kinda play hardball. Carlton can have him.

more senior opportunities!?!? don't take the piss out of us..

 

[TradeDraft]

Just read that Kenno is being offered up for trade just like Freeman suggested, hopefully he's right about Aish too...

I would be happy with BL Being Traded. Makes lot more Sense why he would leave

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

And schoolgirl-related endurance, if you know what I mean...

All about repeated efforts.

 

[swoop42]

Freeman is a required player for mine unless we can land Aish.

Even then I'd prefer to have both.

Club will end up giving away a top 10 pick for a second round selection, a player who's true worth is yet to even be uncovered.

Odds are he'll finally get over his hamstring troubles next year.

Wow. Ok. Thanks for link mattys123 !

This is based on some johnny come lately's rumour, cringeworthy tweet.

hmmm. Make of it what you will

 

[cakewalk06]

Kid's done nothing wrong. Has had a bad run and Saints have taken advantage by offering to pay him over the odds. No need for all the bile directed at him.

It's a high-risk, high-reward strategy by Saints, but they probably have to try something outside the ordinary as they don't have players falling all over themselves to get there. So they offer the kid what he would be worth if he played maybe 20 games in his first couple of years and showed plenty of upside.

Freeman was a standout of our 2015 pre-season as far as i remember so I won't be surprised if it pays off for them.

Alan Richardson is a shrewd operator. In his time at the Pies as development coach, he was fantastic.

will watch with interest

 

[domin8tors]

I see it being played out like this.

Pies to saints. Freeman and 2nd rnd pick
Saints to pies 1st round pick
Pies forward that pick to bris for Aish.
Pies 1st round pick and next year 2nd round pick to GWS
GWS Trloar to pies.

I personally think that is fair and reasonable for all teams

How can you demand a trade for more senior opportunities when you haven't had any senior opportunities because you haven't been able to get on the park? What an absolute bellend

Delete this thread.

 

[TW Sherrin]

very very disappointing outcome. guess this one didnt show 'flight' tendencies during the interview process.

more opportunities? that reaks of not having the ticker to fight for a spot.

his young magpie cousin will be shattered.

 

[domin8tors]

You can trade contracted players. I reckon we'd get a pretty good price for him from a few Victorian clubs.

not without the players consent though. and as he wants to stay at Collingwood then we need to honour that.

 

[LukeH10]

"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

It's not because of the opportunities he's missed rather about the lack of probable opportunities in a Collingwood midfield that may also include Treloar and Aish. He'd have a far better chance of regular playing time in the current St Kilda midfield and with that a greater bargaining power with contract negotiations.

How could it be our Fault?

Forty minutes and 39 seconds.

That’s precisely the amount of time Nathan Freeman spent on a football ground in season 2014.

2015 wasn't much better. Very disappointing.
