Nathan Freeman to debut

[PieLebo87]

Ruthless from St Kilda to delist him after finally getting games.

Happy to use him as a good news story when it suited them

Whaaaaaaat? No way!

Definitely deserves another chance, only 23 FFS.

 

[Wooljay]

Will surely be rookied.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Dumbfounded by this. He didn't even play badly in his two career games. Surely gets rookie listed or picked up elsewhere.

St Kilda are an absolute laughing stock. Disgraceful decision if true. Makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[master bate]

It's such an odd decision from the Saints that I almost support it because they probably have made it with cold hard facts.

Bring the knife out after the rookie draft if St.Kilda don't select him as a rookie.

I daresay that's the goal here.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Even though he's playing us, if he gets through the game ok and kicks his first goal at senior level I'd imagine every footy fan would be happy for him.

Not all fans apparently...

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Wtf? Spent all this time getting him right 1 game and delist

He played twice as many as that.

 

[The Jack]

Should be congratulated for giving him the opportunity to play AFL footy. He's the polar opposite of the player they were hoping he'd become. No ones fault. Just how it turned out.

 

[Xtreme]

St Kilda is run by absolute muppets

What I don't understand is why they bothered playing him in the seniors at all if they thought he wasn't good enough. If they thought he was good enough, 2 games isn't enough to judge someone by. Strange, very strange.

 

[anst1ssa]

Hhahaha ****ing brutal

 

[ChrisHunt313131]

Surprised he was dropped after 2 games, now surprised delisted.

Confident either St Kilda or someone else will re-rookie him.

 

[exxcessivve]

Congratulations on a great career

 

[exxcessivve]

nah but for real, surely he will be playing somewhere next year.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Player who walks out on a club after 2 years and 0 games to chase the money has no loyalty shown to him in return.

But seriously, strange decision. Saints are hardly in a position to let talented young players go. I imagine he'll get picked up by another club.

“Hey look at us, we are giving him a game what a great story”

Next minute.

Suspect the club probably has some pretty good insights in his ability to perform at the top level after 3 years.

Hopefully another club has enough balls to pick him up and give him another crack.

St Kilda, the only club ever to make a fuss about a first-gamer.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

All for bagging St Kilda but surprised at some of the reactions. It’s not like they’ve delisted Nick Riewoldt. Freeman is clearly little more than a fringe player.

 

[ManOfClay]

St Kilda, the only club ever to make a fuss about a first-gamer.

And then delist him six weeks later

 

[Ghossein]

they only wanted him to keep the other injured saints company in the rehab group

 

[Altum Volantes]

Farewell Collingwood/St Kilda ‘Hamstring Guy’, we hardly knew ye.

Don’t you find it odd they’d put so much time into the bloke, and then finally give him two games where he looked okay, only to delist him a few weeks later?

Sure he’s not 18 years old, but he’d only played two AFL games after spending ages building towards that. Surely he’d be worth persisting with to see how he improves?

Obviously there could be the chance his body is completely rooted.
