Dunno. Lambert was a similar ball magnet in the VFL but transitioned nicely.

On going Hamstring issues can be cause by lower back problems.
I’m sure all clubs know this but makes you wonder why it’s never been fixed? Maybe it can’t.
It’s certainly buyer beware for Freeman. His last season in the AFL was 2018, he managed only 2 AFL games in 5 seasons. In 2019 at Frankston he managed only 11 games due to injury. 2020 he played none due to Covid and in 2021 he’s played 5.
I‘d be steering clear.

Its a NO from me
He has shot hamstrings and the only reason he is staying on the park at a lower level is due to the work load being less than half what would be expected at AFL level and the pace of the games he is playing in.
Blake Schlensog makes the most sense for Richmond or just go best 19 year old mid

Is there another Marlion Pickett out there?
I'll back our recruiters whoever they choose.

Lamblett never had five years of hamstring issues, just couldn't find any club with enough brains to give him an opportunity. Freeman's had two clubs never got close to getting his body capable of standing up to the loadings required for AFL level performance.
Not questioning whether the bloke has the ability to play the game well, questioning whether his hamstrings are capable of standing up to the increased load to allow him to get out on the field consistently.
The thing is that it's not really high risk. If his hammies go again he will have only been listed for the rest of 2021
I hear that there are one or two others interested who have picks before us anyway
Agree, plus I think he is the most likely to be playing seniors and help us win finals.
Picking a young kid will be unlikely to give advantage in September
Pies gonna re draft him so they can add him to their Injury list and make it another name longer.
