Welcome to the Bulldogs Joel Freijah

[JTCWBFC]

We’ve got one here

 

[The White Mouse]

He's well up for flying the flag too. Was first into Maynard after he jabbed someone on the ground. As Libba guided him away you could see Libba thinking to himself ... I like this guy. Don't we all. 15 games into his career and he already has an MCG highlight that few will emulate. He's a proper footballer.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

He can play defence and he can play midfield. When we get The Bont and Treloar back in the absence JUH we are crying out for a medium tall to compliment Sam and Astro up forward. i think he would do a great job with some on ball time changing with The Bont.

 

[WAbulldog]

His goal last night was very clutch, definitely got a gem here.

 

[Marbyriver]

His goal in the last quarter and the footscray chant that followed will live long in the memory. What a ripper

Thank you Essendon for bidding Luamon Lual. At the time I was absolutely filthy as well lol

You mean … we won the draft?

Not convinced we'd have taken Lual, actually.

I believe Freijah was our next choice.

Perhaps we were happy to let Esserton win the draft - again

No idea how he slipped through so far in the draft. What a great start to this year and building on last. Doesn't waste the ball and plenty of mongrel. Looking forward to seeing him get better and better.

This thread is much more enjoyable than Marra's...

Getting such a bargain on players like this really does offset other losses

Absolute jet. Was actually surprised and a little disappointed he wasn’t given the vacated no.6 jumper in the off season

What an excellent pick up.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

When people re-do this draft he should be in the top 10, easily.

Harley Reid the only 1 who you could currently have above him

 

[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.

Wot this seer said. 18 months ago.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Not a midfielders arseh*le. Send him to the backline.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Trying to think when’s the last time we had a late pick come on so quickly.

You see Geelong have these youngsters come in without much fanfare and then take flight in their first couple of seasons, but hasn’t happened with us in recent memory.

All our gems have been late bloomers like JJ, Pickers, Moz etc.

Dahlhaus was scintillating in his first 2 seasons.

 

[Mofra]

I'd still like to expose a certain 200cm KPF to AFL level, who is an elite runner and aggressive in the air before I make that call

Would we say it was 18 months ago? Granted you seers operate on a different continuum and time is possibly just a concept

Bailey Williams became a solid player pretty fast, he's had some ups and downs but fits the bill I'd say.

Sam Davidson looking the part. Mature ager though.

 

[stefoid]

Hes pretty slow over the first couple of meters. Too slow for the midfield?

The fast and contested tempo for the majority of last night caught him out a bit.

He’s shown a lot more in there than I thought he would but I think has a bit to go before he becomes a genuine full time mid.

Having him back across half back once Bont and Treloar return will improve that line significantly. Such a smart footballer.
