Toast Welcome to Freo Hayden Young – Fremantle’s 1st 2019 National Draft Pick [Pick #7]

[Deathly]

Sturt feels like our least spoken about "high end" draftee of the last couple of years, but I think he might be the biggest surprise out of the lot and open some eyes if he can stay fit. Please God.

yeah without wanting to derail the Young thread too much more, Sturt’s potential is god damn exciting

 

[DMan 11]

Just re-watched those early games with Hayden playing, once he gets back in to team drills and we get our game plan bedded down he is going to absolutely sparkle.
It’s a big call, but I think he’ll have more value to our team than any of Serong, Brayshaw and Cerra.

I agree.

I can watch that bit of footage where he goosifies the teacher's pet, Rowell, over and over again.

 

[freo84]

My buddy will win the rising star hands down.

No one will get close as he reveals brilliance time and time again. Making fools of opposition players and outpointing them in defense. His kicks will cut them, his marks will demoralise them and his skills will make them weep.

 

[Bigger]

Just put this on a loop. The look on Rowell's face - around the 12 second mark in the replay - is sensational. He just didn't know how that happened.

 

[Scham]

I don't think I've ever felt as excited by a (pardon the pun) young talent at Freo as this bloke. The taste that he gave us this year, just has me salivating for the future and watching him run around in the purple.

Love the rhapsody (and I think you will be correct).

 

[Purple Jesus]

He looks so much bigger in those pics today. Much more mature in the face as well. Look out 2021.

Must’ve been devastating pulling an injury so early in his career, but pretty sure he has the character to use that time well. Expecting that to be on full display in 2021.

Maybe the injury could be a blessing in disguise ?.

Allowed his body to grow, fill out and put some definition in the shoulders.

Always look on the bright side of life .....

I was listening to a podcast with a Brisbane Lions S&C coach this morning and he said they call their rehabilitation programs 'reconditioning' to try shift the mindset of injured players towards viewing it as continuation of their development.

 

[Freomaniac]

he looked alright in his few games at freo.

A pity he got injured.

If alright means awesome then yeah he was 'alright'.

The competition is lucky he got injured when he did but now he will come back bigger, stronger and with the knowledge that he can cut it with the best of them.

is still looking for him apparently.

[freo_leo29]

This kids the real deal, not sure how he slid to 7

 

[Spirit Level]

Just wait till he picks up the pace fully, those kicks into the middle will all come off and our game will open right up

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I’m surprised there’s not more love for him on the votes for round 1 thread.

19 possessions (17 of them kicks), 6 marks (at least half would have been intercepts) and 532 metres gained which was the highest on the ground. He was the single thing I felt positive about after Saturday. The kid is elite.

 

[Purplrrr]

Yeah, the new rule might be great for him!

 

[MadMundy]

He has the best kick in his draft class, there's a reason so many had him pegged for top 3-5.

 

[Taylor]

Thank you Adelaide.

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Thank you Adelaide.

And GWS for taking Ash.

And GWS for taking Ash.

And I think they got that pick from Adelaide too.

And made it look easy. He still had another 10% to give.

 

[freodog]

Thank you Adelaide.

And reports are Fischer McAsey wants to be traded out of Adelaide back to Vic so lucky we didn’t get him.
