News Stevie J to Freo

[Lachy96]

Mark stevens just said on game day freo are likely to get stevie j in the pre season draft this offseason.

 

[Kenny_01]

Wow Stevie J, Bennell and McCarthy??

 

[Lach72]

Lolwut

 

[Allikat]

How am I supposed to boo him?

 

[Lach72]

Well a forward line of Walters, Ballantyne, Johnson, McCarthy, Fyfe and a resting ruck would be something to see...lol

 

[FD2646]

Would be a freak in awesome off season.......I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Would also make for some good laughs having stevie j and Ballas in the same forward line. Additionally, I would love to watch training, particularly if Crowley is retained!

 

[GordonT]

Should work well with Ballaz in the forward line
God I hope this is BS.

 

[mad4freo]

He is a quality ball user and a forward who can help kick goals. Better than a MDB or Suban so ill take him. IF we don't manage to get Bennell but do get McCarthy then Johnson could be a very shrewd piece of business.

 

[Banker]

If we're going after Stevie J, looks like McK won't be coming as Freo will wait for him to run out his contract at GWS.

How will he handle the travel? Lets not forget he is coming from a feral small town, to a big city.

Why no McCarthy?

Steve J and Ballantyne.

"It's half time and West Coast are behind by 5 goals with Freo putting in a dominant display...however West Coast do seem to be getting the rub of the green with the umpires with 45 free kicks to Fremantle's two"

 

[Scham]

We lack class. Johnson is a classy player. Good call IMO.

 

[Banker]

Why no McCarthy?

I think Johnson would be used as forward whilst we wait for McCarthy.

Maybe Freo are not willing to give up everything for him.

 

[Lach72]

Yeah I'd take him over Mayne any time

 

[Lachy96]

Good thing about stevie j is we dont have to give up anything for him so it could very well be stevie j mccarthy and bennell to freo if we manage to sort out trades for the other 2.

 

[mad4freo]

I think Johnson would be used as forward whilst we wait for McCarthy.

Maybe Freo are not willing to give up everything for him.

In my mind getting Johnson would mean no Bennell. Pre-Season draft also means we wont be losing anything by gaining him.

 

[Carnthedockers]

I've said to a few mates he would be perfect. Exactly what we need.

 

[mad4freo]

Perfect for the rotation through midfield with Fyfe.

 

[Docker4eva]

Yeah I'd take him over Mayne any time

Clearly we'd have to relax our no d***heads policy if we wanted Stevie J.

Come to think of it, that rule was thrown out when we nabbed Sylvia.

 

[Lach72]

The one thing with him is he wasn't really getting injured like other older guys

 

[maf303]

You know, it makes sense.

Stevie J, said earlier he wanted to play for a club where he could start his Coaching Career after. Just what we need..

Not sure he can be a Player/Coach; But we need all the SCORING IDEAS and forward coaches that we can handle. He might even be able to help on FORWARD ENTRIES.. as a player/coach.

 

[Banker]

I don't think he back tracks/ defends much, which could be problematic for our game plan.

Not concerned really.
We need goals and class

 

[Lachy96]

In my mind getting Johnson would mean no Bennell. Pre-Season draft also means we wont be losing anything by gaining him.

Its looking like we can get bennell cheap maybe a 2nd rounder. Bennells future is in the midfield anyway if he gets his s**t together.

 

[Steinfreo]

hahahah Stevie J yes please just for the laughs. If he kicked a bag for us against Geelong in Geelongistan my body would go into orbit.
