Welcome to the Bulldogs Joel Freijah

[VitalDread]

Joel reminds me of me playing 3 games of under 15s footy

 

[ossie_21]

He reminds me of a young Charlemagne, leading conquests through the grounds of Saxony.

 

[cleveland]

Ive got him confused with libba occasionally from the stands. Has a similar running style at times.

 

[jdz101]

Theres a little bit of gumby about him...

Effortlessly slides across the turf.

Late birthday too. Absolute steal in the 3rd round

That's it! Ever since we drafted him it's been bugging me who he reminds me of.

Caesar? No. Napoleon? No. Hannibal (Barca, not Lecter!)? No.

Charlemagne? Bingo!

He's gone early!!!

I'm usually hesitant to go early on a player unless they're Bont or Stringer like.

Probably stems from Jason Tutt areas.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

What a star this kid is.

 

[my plums]

Rising star nom this week? Haven’t seen many other games…

 

[House_of_Dahl]

This kid is playing finals at 18 (if we make it)

 

[Struggle]

Give him the 6 next season

 

[bresker]

Love how he gets hold of the ball and takes a long, cool drink of "Calm the F**k' down' like he's Matthew feckin Boyd and not some 18 year old kid

 

[PurpJuice]

In Dodo’s last year as Essendon’s list manager, he accidentally gave us the steal of the draft, while trying to take our academy pick Lual out of spite.

Freijah has already shown signs that he will be an elite player, no doubt in my mind.

 

[Eastdog]

Great pick up. Joel has had great first season at the club. He is playing like he has played with us for a few years.

Yeah, funny now to have seen the almost gloating of Dodo & crew, who must wonder now how the wool was pulled over their eyes

Dogs apparently didn't try to push up higher in the draft to get Lual, "conceding" that Essertin would trump them.

In truth, we were never going to take Lual, instead just waiting for Joel The Smokey Freijah to bob up.

Man I'm disappointed that Dodo only lasted 36 years with the Bombres

 

[Randomthoughts]

He returned to the senior team and layed down a statement game . His draft number still blows me away .

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Bit of work to be done to be the best ever pick 45 but an excellent start. Seems to be a pick we land on quite a bit

 

[RWnBluey]

He’s got the ingredients to be elite - time, composure, great vision, great decision making and a beautifully weighted kick. Will be one of the first selected each week before long.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

I think this guys ceiling is much higher than playing at half back or on the wing. I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that he finds a place as a starting mid wrecking ball. Especially after Treloar hangs up the boots. The idea of a future that has him and Richards punching away from centre bounces is tantalising.

Definitely has that scope to develop as a starting mid. He has shown ability to move through traffic with ease.

He is going to be a dynamic midfielder. Can't wait to watch him develop

He is such a toss. As good as the early bid on Irving Mosquito, Hawthorn laughed so hard as they said “go ahead take him”.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Joel happy to take responsibility for high risk kicks, and nearly always nailing them. Rarely makes poor decisions as well. Will be interesting when oppo teams cotton on to him, and potentially play a defensive forward on him, like JJ and Dale have experienced. I reckon he'd just use a 'don't argue' Naughton-style, and carry on!
