Gee modest numbers. Must fill a role or add depth as a small fwd for Freo otherwise not sure why they took him?

I think sometimes the reporters aren't always particularly accurate in their rush to get out the story. However on this occasion, they might mean he got a a direct knock on one of the ankle bones.You can get bony bruising and sometimes swelling and it's pretty painful so they can go down like they've got a bad ligament injury, but turns out ok!
LOL! Yeah Clarkson and the hawks staff have been the recruiting masters over the years.
I guess worst case scenario. if there's a shortage of fwd rookies (which looks unlikely) he will at least provide some cover if he's JS is ok. Slow burner it sounds like though who will pop up every once in a while with a decent score.

Listening to sports radio on way home (Perth) and discussions about Freo came up. Anthony Morabito getting a good mention in dispatches. Played in the back line in a recent internal scratch match (not sure about that description) but apparently did a great job and suggestions he could be a round 1 starter as a running backman if he holds up. Great story if he could get on the park for a whole season and we could see what he has got.

Definitely falls in the 'training the house down' category. Would need to be promoted off the rookie list, but I understand Freo have the room to make that move. You have to question what his match fitness is like not having played a game of footy in a long time and with the sub rule gone there isnt really the room to ease him back into the game...great story nonetheless and definitely one to watch and fingers crossed he makes it back to the top level
Read this little piece from Tim Gossage over here in the west, doesn't look to good for Bennell and would make it very difficult to start him for round 1 for anyone considering him. On the other hand things are looking pretty positive for Nat Fyfe to line up round 1 and not be too underdone.
