Toast Welcome to Freo Jeremy Sharp - SSP Selection 2023

[Tonga Bob]

Word on the street is he'll officially be a Docker today so here's his thread. If I've gone early and he doesn't join us then fear my powers of sh*thousery!

Former Sun set to land at Dockers via pre-season lifeline

Ex-Gold Coast wingman absent from draft nominations, paving way for move to Fremantle

Will he be the answer to our Mr Mister issues? Time will tell I guess.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Rhino hasn't let me down.

 

[Taylor]

I'm hoping this becomes the story of the season. GC wouldn't trade him in 2022 so we were stuck playing Henry in the role, exposing him at AFL level and eventually getting a second round pick for him in trade. If Sharp was on our list last year for the 2nd round pick they wanted I don't think Henry would have played enough for a pick in trade.

There's the potential here for Sharp to replace Henry without costing us the 2nd round pick to get him and without costing us the 2nd round pick for Henry.

We could be equal output plus 2x 2nds if Sharp comes on.

We couldn't be getting Sharp any cheaper so there's no risk here at all. Anything we can get from him is a win. If he kicks a goal for us at AFL level he would be in a tiny percentile of later round rookie picks to do that.

And it's official!

Always like watching once highly rated players get a second chance.

His best interests and the club's are in perfect alignment too.

The right player, the right team, the right time.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Excellent start to a highlights tape that is.

 

[Ge3ks]

That tackle on Gaff is an immediate thumbs up. Love him already. More Gaff tackling please Jeremy.

 

[Lach72]

A wingman that can kick for goal past 35 meters...novel concept

 

[BStaff17]

Will be the 10th player to play for GC & Freo.

I would be curious if any other clubs have had more players who have played for them and GC.

Considering they have been in the comp for 13 years.

Oof I tell you what, if O'Driscoll recaptures his 2022 form and Sharp reaches his potential - we'd have a couple of real attacking weapons as wingers.

Check out his stats as a hbf role. Slot him in that position for sure

 

[mattis117]

The most frustrating thing about Henry was he couldn't kick over 40 m, watching Sharp bang em from outside 50 is awesome.

 

[freo84]

Welcome Jeremy!

Hellooooo are you the wingman we're looking for.

 

[FreoMatt]

I couldn’t agree more with Walls assessment (below) of why he sees him as a good addition……

“He has a combination of speed and endurance with good acceleration. His height allows him to fold back into defence where he likes to help out and he’s good overhead.”

That is the perfect modern day wingman who dobs goals from outside 50, but also floats back to help out the defence. Acres displayed it perfectly in the Carlton final when in the last 3 minutes he kicked the winning goal but also went back to his defensive goal square to spoil the opposition. But Acres doesn’t have Sharp’s pace and penetrating kick

The FreoHub boys will be going through the tissue boxes.

 

[Mesc]

The commentator from 01:40 seems to get excited about him anyway

 

[Mesc]

Welcome Jeremy!

Hellooooo are you the wingman we're looking for.

Looks way more damaging than Henry from what Ive seen on those highlights.

 

[Tonga Bob]

The commentator from 01:40 seems to get excited about him anyway

Yeah I picked up on that too. Expect a lot of 'sharpshooter' action.

 

[DragoDelph]

It's Jeremy!
