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

[Bring back Drum]

This threads gone in an unusual direction!

I am pretty sure the rule is you can't have a hair cut if you wear #26. Or if you do it has to look like you've done it yourself.

I hope Freo see him as a midfielder long term. If he's getting 25+ touches a game he'll be one of the best in the comp.

Why cant he just play half back and get better at winning the ball and attacking more as his career goes on? Would love him to play a bit like Goddard in his prime years and just attack off half back with long kicking. I want Ryan and him to rotate on the oppositions least skilled tall as soon as possible so they can run off and attack like Hurn does against us so often.

How does getting 25+ touches off halfback equal ball-winning midfielder? You probably liked Zac Clarke the midfielder didn't you..

Not nearly as much as David mundy CHB.

For the record Young played 3 games in the midfield for Dandenong at the end of the year in which he averaged 25 possessions and a goal a game.

That would be a good outcome. However if he could do that in the midfield it would be akin to recruiting Pendlebury or a young Mundy.

Going to be a gun.

This ^

Haven't paid for a haircut in 5 years. Get pretty good at it after a few.

My wife's a hairdresser so I've actually kinda got the best of both worlds

 

[Dump Truck]

People are saying Pendlebury comparisons which is great but honestly, the vibe I get from this guy is his ceiling could be Mundy going beast mode in the 2nd half of the GF.

So goddamn excited to see this guy develop!

 

[mike91]

I love him already

 

[Taylor]

He went from dropping marks to not being able to drop them. Growing before our eyes

 

[Scham]

Very special game from the young fella!

At last we’ve got something or someone to be genuinely excited about.

 

[Inveigh Slang]

He was our best back tonight

Rising Star nomination coming up.

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Rising Star nomination coming up.

Hope so, but I think Green might get it.

 

[Square Peg]

Yeah was great but all I can think of in my funk at the moment is how much Hawthorn and Carlton are going to be in his ear over the next two years. You just know it will happen

 

[mayne iac]

He wont get the nom

 

[Inveigh Slang]

He wont get the nom

Why? He was pretty fing good

 

[mayne iac]

Theyll give it rowells mate Anderson, better story.

 

[23cmonShane!]

Theyll give it rowells mate Anderson, better story.

Complete Bullshit if that happens

[estibador]

Such a great play but why would they choose such a s**t clip instead of posting the original commentary?

 

[Taylor]

The vision and execution of that kick behind their defenders to the loose Walters.

If he starts doing that regularly he will be tagged

 

[Supersuns]

Sorry for the intrusion but Young should 100% be the rising star. His calmness with the ball and ability to come off his man and intercept/spoil is first class. He is an absolute star in the making

 

[Bring back Drum]

There was at least 3 times where he went back with the flight of the ball tonight. How many games in, 3? Inspiring.
