Great debut. Was he really that gassed that he couldn't play more minutes? He's exactly what our forwards need. Speed and anticipation.

Looked the goods on debut. Let's see him back it up.
He did a lot of running off the ball... if we are very lucky, he'll develop a billy-like tank and some slightly cleaner hands in close (to be fair though it was his first game). Looking forward to watching him develop.

Yeah, just wanted to pop in and do the token buddy post heh.
Loved what I saw from Michael tonight, showed some of the stuff that had me picking him in the buddy thread in the first place. Definitely is what the club needs.

Really nice first game. I’m a bit different from most on here, I thought he backed off on a few occasions where he could have gone harder, but I can’t fault a first gamer. Was the only bright spark of the night.

Really promising debut.. last year is shaping up as a key draft for us. Hopefully we talk about it in 5 years time like we did about 08

Agree with all of the above...promising debut with a s**t load of potential.
What I like the best is he appears perfect for that half forward role, which is a position we have struggled with enormously in the past.

The most encouraging thing was he out marked Brad Shepherd (?) in just about his first contest
Happened right in front of me - I turned to my mate and just said "What the ****?!"
We have a keeper.

I reckon most Freo supporters had that reaction. I was off my seat. There have been moments this year that have had me more excited than I've been in years. Young's game against the Suns had similar moments.
Don't forget Sturt and then you have three serious sets of wheels around the forward fifty helping out our talls. Suddenly we would be dangerous.
I believe my words from the couch were "HOLY s**t!!"
So one of the big questions is does he hold his place? In the Lyon era of big bodies, no way (cough*Simpson*cough) but hopefully JLo has a bit more feel for the game and it's one of Schultz or Banfield that gets dropped.
Dropping him would send the wrong message. Especially when most of his experienced teammates were worse than him.
Why? Big bodies are overrated especially for Freo. It’s the reason why many get games ahead of talent, raw ability. Rather have Frederick this season then say big body Banfield or Schulz.
Frederick, I’m sure, reminds all of us of Stephen Hill. Slight frame but so much potential.
Hold his place? He contributed more positive moments than Banfield, Schultz and Colyer put together. Seriously if he’s dropped and those guys are still on the team next week we ought to go down and start a *in riot at cockburn!
