Welcome to the Bulldogs Joel Freijah

[HK_Bulldog]

He’s got some of that inner steel that Libba has. The attitude that when things go against you, you lift that extra gear and refuse to yield.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

I think Joel will pip Sanders for best first year player.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Supercoach players certainly have.

AFL Fantasy, too.

I put him on the bench at the start.
Nice price rise

Reminds me a little of Ed Richards

. Solidly built but still agile.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

Huge props on this kid, love what his done so far, cant' wait to see him after 50 games.

Such a steal.

 

[dergert]

Still needs to take the game on more imo. He'll get there and he'll be even better. Ed Richards

I've been trying to think of a player he reminds me of. It's not Ed Richards ... for me. At the moment I have placed him in the unique pigeon hole. Ironically, there's more than one player in the unique pigeon hole.

That’d be uncomfortable for the unique pigeon.

I agree Richards isn’t the right comparison. I don’t think Freijah has quite the same burst speed and maybe not the agility. Happy just to watch him develop on his own terms.

 

[Libbaaaa]

He gives me Marty Mattner vibes which would be a fantastic result.

 

[TiAn_]

People forget how good Bailey Williams was for an 18 year old. Very similar player to Joel.

A hybrid of Moyd and Crossy for me.

 

[King Harold]

A hybrid of Moyd and Crossy for me.

Moyd maybe ,

but Crossy

Runs in straighter lines, and can kick the ball more than 30 metres.

Back you go to the drawing board my old mate

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Reminds me of what Miloslav Mecir would've been in a parallel universe where he played AFL.

Tallish, loping, effortless mover who covers the ground much better than you expect when watching him.

Hence forth. Joel will be known as the big cat.

 

[bobs head soup]

I'm gonna go back a bit further. The Dogs player I most see in Freijah is Neil Cordy.

Cordy was a tallish, athletic flanker/winger from the 80s who had a great 235 game career at Footscray and the Swans.

 

[JohnnySteel]

I was thinking more of an Isaac Smith

[Mojorisin]

I was thinking more of an Isaac Smith / Grant Birchall type.

Birchall is a great comparison

 

[Next Waiting]

Do we know whether he's ever played basketball ... or watched a game of basketball ... or knows of the existence of basketball.

What would Margaret Mead make of this I wonder?

 

[Next Waiting]

What would Margaret Mead make of this I wonder?

Given she's American I imagine she'd write about it in a polarising and conspiratorial fashion.

 

[dogwatch]

Given she's American I imagine she'd make it a polarising issue and possibly a conspiracy.

Maybe. She died in 1978 (during the Carter interregnum) before the insanity export business really took off.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Joel reminds me of a young Alby Morrison.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

People forget how good Bailey Williams was for an 18 year old. Very similar player to Joel.

Very true. Williams appeared to have it all but was prone to getting caught on the ball. I honestly thought he’d be an A grader if he wiped that from his game. He’s a solid player but I think he could have been much more.

Freijah doesn’t look to have the same potential to me but ironically might go on to have a better career.

 

[X_box_X]

I'll join in.

Freijah has a bit of Sally Ride about him the way he seems to defy gravity as he glides across the ground.

 

[synchrodogcal]

i heard he once saw a basketball, but someone fact checked it and it turns out it was actually a volleyball

I almost believed that until you said someone fact checked something.
