VFL RD 5 Sandringham Vs Essendon

[shrodes]

Battle looks very ginger?

Getting toweled up.

Similar delivery to the AFL team. Kicking to the opposition.

Ball gets sat on his head often. A lot of two on one contests. Probably would play better being the second or third forward in the senior side.

[prwilkinson]

Anyone know how many touches Freeer finished with?

[sunsaint]

what is going on here - I assume we draft kids whose skills stand out
but then as a collective group - skills go out the window, goal kicking is a farce and there is zero pressure coming from the feeder 2nds for a place in the seniors...?
Our troubles run very very deep

Good comment. I agree with you. The kid has ability.

If the seniors keep playing pathetic, putrid, selfish football, Freezer will be playing seniors sooner than later.

I will then sit back and lmfao at all those fickle posters who have forshadowed his demise at seasons end.

You guys know who I am refering too.

Not ME mate! I’m awaiting his senior debut with bated breath!

[parkeysainter]

Get Freeman and Battle in the next couple of weeks. We need more games into the kids.

[Saintly66]

Would put special fried in, Freeman still needs a few more games.

Hey, if he comes good, I am happy to be wrong. But, we have had saviours supposedly comung through and they end up being disappointments and delisted.
When he makes his senior debut I will be hopi g for nothing but the best, but he has to do it this season.

You don't sink the boot into guys like Freeman. I know that mate.

The ones I am referring to are in plain sight on the Freeman thread.

Meh...
It's silly to suggest that people shouldn't have concerns about the kid's body holding up... I mean he had a big hamstring not two months ago for goodness sack. I know because Jaxons posted it well ahead of when it came out.



Perhaps someone can explain it to me. Why is ridiculous that people think his body may not be up to it? Have we also stopped worrying about Paddy's concussions too?

Yep. Rice deserves a game . So does White.

[saynta]

Those same fickle posters are already preparing their defence.

See your attitude confuses me. You claim you don't read my posts and yet constantly respond to me and my threads.

so childish

Make your argument clear... are you saying it is stupid that people had doubts about Freeman's ability to make it? It's a yes or no question.

Bet you won't answer

[skeptic]

I take it Saynta that this is the post you're referring too?

I'd say Pierce is gone for sure
Wright's not up to it and it seems doubtful that Freeman ever plays

Haven't seen enough of Rice to make a call

Lonie and DMac consistently tear it up in the VFL but it doesn't translate in the seniors so I hope they can put it together this year and show us more consistently what they're capable of

I really rate Minch but injuries are robbing him of his chance though IMO he is the one of the fringe small forwards (Lonie/Weller/Wright) that has shown the most but he's just too injury prone and erratic. Again, prove me wrong.

Goddaqd looks gone most likely but hopefully he's fully fit and can show us what he's made of... there's a need for him if he's good enough

Here in March

Geeez what a shocking thing to say.

Do your homework next time and overcome your spite you sad little man

[Hemi Baxter]

Should have added that Paton was good today. Played on the wing but saw plenty of it, ran to the right places and his disposal was generally good. Doesn't look like much but can play.
V disappointed to see Lonie named in the best. Apart from a few attempts to start a scrap he was unsighted.

Yeah, I watched the match. Had a bit of a laugh when Lonie got into a couple of scraps.

Someone should tell him to pick on someone his own size.

The coaching staff say Paton is not far off a senior game.

Maybe Austin or Goddard will get a game if Carlyle doesn't come up.

[parkeysainter]

Paton was a very good selection. He is probably also a year ahead of the other picks due to being drafted as a 19 year old. He will play seniors soon barring injury. Potential onballer too.




Paton was taken with pick No. 46 in the 2017 National Draft.

After being overlooked in last year's drafts, the Murray Bushrangers product returned as a 19-year-old overage player and thrived in a new role in defence.

The shift from the midfield to the backline paid dividends for the tenacious teenager, with his early season form attracting the attention of the Vic Country selectors.

Paton enhanced his standing in the draft pool at the combine in October when he finished third in the standing vertical leap, jumping 80cm, before recording the sixth fastest time in the 20-metre sprint at 2.95 seconds

[prwilkinson]

Freeman just looks like a gun footballer. Does anyone have his clearance stats to go with the 31 touches? He needs to play AT LEAST 6-8 weeks before his magnet gets put on the board to be even considered for selection. His body just needs to gets used to playing week in/week out. I'd be rapped if he got 2-4 AFL games in the back half of the season.
