Toast Welcome to Freo Jeremy Sharp - SSP Selection 2023

[freo84]

Looks way more damaging than Henry from what Ive seen on those highlights.

I haven't and still don't see Henry as a big loss. I may be wrong and he may go on to stardom at the Saints but I dont see it.

I think Sharp has the more complete set of skills and size to be a better wingman in our system than Henry.

Im sure Liam is a lovely fellow but he’s no Jezza Sharp.

One difference being that with Sharp, people slide into his DMs.

Other noticeable differences:

Two-way running.
Impactful tackling.
Goals from 40+ out.
Can kick skin off custard.
Not novelty or fun size.

Welcome Ron!

 

[theGav56]

Will be the 10th player to play for GC & Freo.

Harley Bennell
Brendan Matera
Greg Broughton
Jaeger O'Meara
Michael Barlow
Will Brodie
Lachie Weller
Sam Collins
Josh Corbett

I would be curious if any other clubs have had more players who have played for them and GC.

Considering they have been in the comp for 13 years.

Change our name to The Hand Me Downs?

 

[Ge3ks]

Can kick skin off custard.

Gee mate, you're showing your age there. Hands up if you used to make your own custard on the stove from custard powder and milk... and burnt more than you ate.

 

[MadMundy]

Looks to be a fantastic signing, I'd say he's an instant upgrade on Henry.

same. was always frustrated by the small kicking, inability to contest for a mark consistently, and tackling struggled to bring anyone down (was like watching someone trying to take out a lion with a .22). He could kick across well to another player in traffic. Cool, cool, cool. Do that at the Saints.

I like the look of Sharp's long kicks, backing himself to kick a goal, long term speed, and height and contested marking. Clearly needs to work harder and give it everything but back him in to try that at Freo. Spot's there for the taking. Seems to have all the attributes we want. Cost nothing and as Taylor said, got us 2x 2nd round picks in the process. Up to him now.

Barring Shultz's loss, pretty happy with the pickups we made this Nov. Another Walls success story in the making.

Tendai Mzungu?

 

[Tonga Bob]

2 year deal for Sharp.

 

[Lach72]

Tendai Mzungu?

never played for GC. Could’ve, but we did a deal for him before he was listed

 

[freo1]

Oof I tell you what, if O'Driscoll recaptures his 2022 form and Sharp reaches his potential - we'd have a couple of real attacking weapons as wingers.

The most uttered word of any Fremantle preseason. “If”

 

[Ge3ks]

2 year deal for Sharp.

Sounds appropriate. Hopefully he can extend on the back of good form.

 

[BStaff17]

Tendai Mzungu?

He played 4 game for GWS none for GC.

 

[greatgatsby]

Hope it went like this:

Hardwick after running his eye over the Suns' list, "So, have we offered this guy Sharp a contract, he looks a likely type?"
"No boss, Stewie hated him and kept him in the twos."
Hardwick, "Really?"
"Don't worry boss, we've got a bucketload of academy kids coming for you to work with next year."

 

[theGav56]

That tackle on Gaff is an immediate thumbs up. Love him already. More Gaff tackling please Jeremy.

Our new midfield enforcer?

 

[Nodgey]

No-one ever publishes their lowlights, but those highlights do look very promising. Excited by what he can bring.

 

[wakojako]

Those are some highlights brilliant pickup so fingers crossed he reaches his potential! Wells is running out of players to trade for from the 2019 draft.

 

[nurries]

Let’s hope he was homesick and not fulfilling his full potential

 

[Jezzitizle]

I’ve got low expectations expectations for him, looks good on paper but offset by not securing a spot at GC.

Hopefully will be a pleasant surprise like Brodie was.

 

[pK75]

Very excited, Acres replacement right there, this was the plan last year but we got distracted by JOM.
It’s all going to come together in 2024!

 

[Purple Jesus]

He's going to be quality for us. His career starts now.

 

[FreoMonocle]

Clearly needs to work harder and give it everything but back him in to try that at Freo. .

Seems he's made a good start at that, winning all 3 time trials today.

"Officially signed as a pre-season supplemental selection on Monday morning, Jeremy Sharp wasted no time impressing his new teammates and coaches by taking out all three-time trials on his first day." From the clubs website

 

[Dockernut]

If we could turn Acres into a decent wingman and Henry into slightly less of a shit-truck I am confident we’ll do something good with Sharpie.

All Longmuir needs to do is say to him: Your space is this wing, own it, run from here to the goal square and then back to the other goal square all day and influence contests - oh and if you get the chance - kick goals. That’s it.

 

[mr.11]

Great start winning all 3 time trials!
Feeling a good vibe with the 6 pick ups we have recruited

 

[Wray27]

Tendai Mzungu?

Nope GWS
