Welcome to the Bulldogs Joel Freijah

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

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.

Are the family dogs supporters? The old Guernsey on that 1 guy says at least there's 1.

Frejiah is a Carlton supporter so I’d assume his family were too. The person in the dogs jumper is one of his best mates who is a dogs fan so I’d assume he bought the dogs jumper along for good luck.

Caught the last mins of his interview with Gerard on SEN this morning. Can confirm it’s pronounced ‘Fray-jah’. So ‘Smokin Joel’ it is!

Sounded like a great kid, let’s hope he does well.

This is the one I'm most excited about.

Has Bevo's prototype wingman written all over him.

Might crack the senior team for a few games next year.

 

[Dogs Rule]

I just love that we've recruited a strong well built mid. I'm so used to us recruiting players who would get knocked over by a gentle breeze.

It must be nearly time to start getting our hopes up for next season

Bevo has a prototype wingman?

Boarding with Libba. What mind expanding experience that would be.

Wonder what tattoos he will surprise his mum with when he goes home for Xmas.

Free jah is the pronunciation I reckon.

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

Checked with former fellow and current students today, it's closest to freesia like the flower. At least that was the pronunciation by him, teachers and friends at school the last 2 years.

Edit: haha, also just spoke to a teacher who made it sound like freesia, but it's closer to Frasier according to the young man himself. Good to know his school had no idea either!

Fray-jah got it wrong then.

Hopefully he will be making such an impact, that the commentators will correctly name him numerous times, and we will all be in the know... Mind you, how many times have we heard the 'commentators' butcher somebody's name

Great pickup. Was hoping we’d trade back into the draft to take him after we took Mannagh. Best of luck to him on a long career with the Dogs.

It’s Lord Freijah to you

Doesn't drink and drive.

Then this is for Bevo. Wingman infused water.
Even comes with a footy and a RW&B hat.

Good move shifting in with Libba. Might get invited over to Nonnas place for an Italian feast. God bless her.

Libba would be well within his rights to not put his hands up for a boarder given his young family, but does it anyway

What a champion of a clubman he is.

He looks like he needs to improve his tackling and physical work so hope he follows Libba around at training too.

Huge praise. Wonder where they had him on the draft board, because this summary doesn't sound like a player in the 40s.

 

[doggies ftw]

Really excited about this one, he has a hell of a build for an 18yo winger - not just height but already solid & not far off his playing weight at 88kg. Just looks like a broad build too, he’s going to be huge.

Get the feeling we were genuinely stoked to get him too. Might turn out a blessing we missed on Lual which would have wiped out this pick and who knows if he would have gone before our next.
