Universal Love Welcome to Freo - Heath Chapman (Pick 14 2020 National Draft)

[Piggy Smalls]

It seems that Chapman and Young will be playing for the one spot over the next few weeks.
Maybe Young has the edge so far, but from all accounts Chapman is playing very well and making everyone sit up and take notice.

From what I’ve seen at the infrequent training sessions I get to Young is a walk up B22. He was seriously being talked about as a number one pick in his draft year because his kicking is so good. And check out his contested intercept mark in the highlights from Friday. I can see him and Chappy both being versatile enough to play in the same side.

With this good news, there must be something dodgy in the injury list?

 

[Taylor]

With that Heath becomes the player with the second longest contract on our list.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Surely a shoe in to be 23rd man if that goes ahead.

 

[One_Wing]

Chuck him in the forward line.

 

[theGav56]

Chuck him in the forward line.

Looks totally unlikely unfortunately.

Another player who wants to be at this club specifically and is motivated to do everything he can to improve. Love it. Glad he resigned.

Hopefully in a generation's time we see Brayshaw the Second, Brayshaw the Third and so forth

I had a little crisis this morning over that language, because technically he is Brayshaw the fourth and that didn't work with my numbers.

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Ok, so debut is all but confirmed at this stage, right?

 

[Tbonefreo]

First thing that came to mind was this story from a few months back. Wherever he ends up on the ground, we certainly have another top quality character: https://www.afl.com.au/news/509751/-i-play-for-him-top-15-prospect-on-his-biggest-inspiration

I remember reading this but didn't realise it was our lad. What a champion.

Can't believe they are delaying the debut announcement... The handshake is obviously the key bit in this video but what I also like is all that exciting young talent in it. It's not all doom and gloom at Freo.

 

[Sully90]

Super excited to see what he can do, but I'm going to wince every time he flies for a contest with that frame.

 

[wayToGo_]

Finally.

 

[freodog]

I think he’ll be very good. From what I’ve seen he’s adaptable. With the new rules the game is very fluid and players have to think on their feet & react so it will suit him well.

 

[sumavich]

He's also a one touch player!

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

This kid is gonna be elite. Pls don’t get injured

 

[ChimpaWompa]

tell you what, he's such a quiet kid if he were Victorian I'd be shittin myself.

LOL his interview was classic. Like a little mouse

 

[FreoRicci]

Question is where will he play? Keen for him to take Ryan’s role as interceptor now that Ryan is forced to play one on one. Can’t be forward surely.

 

[FD2646]

Another quality West Perth product!

Luke Ryan was All Australian playing as an undersized key back. He should return to that.
