Toast Welcome to Fremantle Ethan Stanley - 2023 Mid Season Draft Pick 8

[Paracleet]

Here's hoping Johnson can deal with the pressure of living up to the great Jesse Crichton

Not this sh*t again. For the last time its spelt ₭rý↟þén !

Looking at the photos on the club site yesterday, it looked like Noddy had already taken him under his wing,

Johnson has already been a great help for the young midfielder as he finds his feet.

“Johnno was great helping me with my first gym session,” Stanley said.

“I followed him around he’s a good bloke to have around the Club. He’s just helped me heaps.

Those who have worn the 44 guernsey.

Number 44	Five representatives	170 games total
1995-2001	Daniel Bandy	105 games
2006	Michael Warren	1 game
2010-2013	Jesse Crichton	18 games
2015	Jacob Ballard	1 game
2018-2021	Taylin Duman	45 games

I'm thinking Crichton's games played must include the ones where he handed out the oranges.

He's really just a kid. It must be tough being asked to pack up your life to move to another state, but also very exciting.
Think he needs to chat to Chapman about what he has been doing in the gym!

Are my eyes deceiving me or is Chapman working with Drizz and Stanley on wing positioning?

Look at the size of them too, that would be three very tall figures on the wing

We could see Chapman returning as a wingman since Ethan Hughes is a lock back in defence now.

Stanley likely wouldn't debut this year but will be learning the Freo way at training and running the wing at Peel.

That would be the sensible thing to do, unlike 'our friends down the road'

On a separate issue, surely Johnson gets 16 next year?

Likes 44 from what I've heard

Yes, that's our three wingers I reckon. Aish in the background just in case.

That's Wilson and he doesn't know how to wear a hat properly.

 

[FreoGirl]

Loved the pics Freo posted showing their 'training' in Cottesloe, where the boys looked very inclusive and welcoming.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

I wonder how his “milky” complexion will look at training during January.

I wonder how his “milky” complexion will look at training during January.

I have a similar complexion and I can tell you it's hard enough as a training watcher out there so I would expect lots of hats on the young fella and enough zinc/sunscreen to service a large primary school placed near his locker.

 

[Paracleet]

Jackpot this kid can play

 

[freo_leo29]

Let's get pen to paper asap

 

[Ge3ks]

Congrats Ethan, and good luck.

 

[King Tenz]

Congrats Ethan, and good luck.

That's pretty wild. Was basically a nobody like a year ago, now he's in the AFL. My man, has looked good for Peel in the limited time I've seen him.

“King” how fast do you think he is? I’ve seen bits and pieces of him and he has pace but I can’t tell whether it’s Switta like pace or Dizzy like pace ( couldn’t really think of another player).

 

[Cayman Docker]

“Rocket” would be an appropriate nickname, good on him and best of luck on debut!

 

[EastcoastDocker]

Congrats Ethan, and good luck.

Sounds like something from a Disney movie.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Trying to rationalize how far he’s risen in 12 months I can only conclude that the kid must be pretty bloody special.

 

[Gekko71]

For the record, Stanley's first AFL training session was on June 7th this year.
That was 42 days ago.

If this isn't the quickest debut for a draft pick in club history, then I'm a pickled eggplant.

Congrats on the debut Ethan mate - hope this week's cameo goes brilliantly for you.

Speaking of Disney Movies and Cameos, this meme seemed oddly appropriate.

The first thing I thought when I saw him at Peel even without knowing him is that he moved like a young De Goey. Light but powerful.

De Goey on debut 187cm 82kg
Stanley 188cm 81kg

Let’s hope he projects that way (without the offield shit)

 

[Sweetback]

Just give us something to hang onto for the love of god we’re drowning
