[weltschmerz]

Another socks up player.

STRENGTHS:

• Clean hands
• Evasiveness
• Outside game
• Size
• Vision
• Work rate

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Composure
• Kicking consistency

Composure and consistency can be worked on but you can't teach natural workrate.

Smokin Joel Freijah!

He’s a good ‘needs’ pick for us.

Joel Freijah Draft Profile

A gut running wingman capable of producing ‘wow' moments, Joel Freijah has all the athletic tools and craft to be a damaging player.

central.rookieme.com

This is a very promising pick-up, has pace, height, evasion, clean ball handling, can score, and is physically strong.
I thought he'd picked up in the late 20s early 30s.

The kid is going to be built like a truck training under an AFL club

Club has been linked with him for months which is a great sign.

Went to school with Joel including this year in year 12. He is a fantastic kid. Very caring and has time for everyone. So glad he got picked up he’s going to be a gun!

That's what I thought when his name was called!

To paraphrase Muhammed Ali:

That Joel Freijah
He gonna 'maze ya!

Well, let's hope so!

 

[hatescaptcha]

I’m so high on this pick that it almost lessens the Lual blow. Will prove to be a steal.

About time Brades and Evo produced a Bulldog instead of successive Lions.

Worked closely with Joel this year and can talk for hours about his abilities as a player, but I could talk for days about the person that he is.

I'll be honest, I'm a Dees man and I'm so torn he's landed at Footscray, but you've got a good one.

His six-goal haul early in the Talent League season probably did more harm than good because everyone expected him to continue that impossible form, but he stayed a consistent performer at the Rebels and definitely deserved an earlier pick.

With a couple years in an AFL system, he's going to grow in leaps and bounds. Bloody jealous haha.

 

[Igloo]

Looks like a very promising kid! Great size.
Is it pronounced like freesia the flower or like Frasier? Commentators in his highlights have gone with both.

 

[TMoney22]

Wonder if we would have picked him if Lual was available

It's great to have Kelsey Grammer connected to our club, always loved his work in the past.

Free jah is the pronunciation I reckon.

hmm, with nothing to go on except his highlights later in this thread... his decision making could be an issue especially at AFL level where everything needs to happen 10x quicker. To me, thats the sign of a perenial fringe payer - good for the lower levels, but cant make the transition to seniors. Happy to be wrong tho

 

[doggies ftw]

Reminds me a lot of Blake Acres to be honest.

Yeah very very Blake Acres about him was my first thought too, hopefully a bit more consistent/higher output and that’s not a bad thing

I thought Frayah...poor kid, as long as he knows who he is!

 

[Dog 36]

Will be staying with Libba when he comes down from Horsham

 

[Rookie]

Could not have found a better fit for our list than this kid. There's a position in the 22 for him long term if he wants it!

Just get the feeling this kid might be the smokey of the draft, actually...
