WOOF welcomes Joel Freijah to the Kennel

[EasternWest]

I wonder what Libba’s house rules are?

No K around the kids?

[Twodogs]

Moving in to Libba's place.

Currently lives in Horsham, so big move to the city.

Just turned 18.

I think that Libba lives in the apartment complex above Cole's in Footscray. It'd be interesting moving from country Victoria to South Central LA, oops I meant to say the middle of Footscray

Recruiters talking about Joel

I quite like the talk about how hard he works to get back and how well he holds his space, being a rarity for junior players.

Good signs , he knows about structure and works both ways. I like what hear so far

[bornadog]

I like the way he said in an interview his aim is to play round 1 Great attitude

[The Pie Man]

I’ve never heard the surname before, anyone know the background?

Like that they said he played the wing role the best out of anyone in the pool.

I think it is Lebanese/Arabic

I think it is Lebanese/Arabic

If so that?s brilliant. I probably found same ancestry web page https://museum.wa.gov.au/welcomewall...h-antoine-tony

Amongst playing group and indeed our coaches & management we?ve got a great cultural representation of western Melbourne ?burbs (although I?m aware Joel is from regional Vic).

Speaking of Middle East & totally off topic I saw a talented musical group Zikra Music (Zikra~Memory) last night in northcote (open studio). Keep an eye out for them - sometimes it?s nice to open our ears to different cultures. Songs sung in Farsi or Arabic and the charming singer read out lyrics before or after most songs. So a mix of lovely poetry as well as sweet singing/playing to non 4/4 rhythms. https://www.youtube.com/@ZikraMusic

The thing that I found most appealing from all of analysis of him is how willing he is to empty his tank and work hard. Workrate of that caliber is really hard to teach so if that's the biggest checkmark on a player then you're at the very least going to see them try and get the best out of themselves.

I like his build, just that little bit more advanced I think than most. Seems to mark taller than he is too.
We are definitely looking at being a tall marking side, even our not so tall have a good mark overhead.
Bedendo if we can get going is also a major high mark.

Yep. I really think wing and midfielder are two different positions and one is not necessarily good at the other.

One naturally goes in and gets the ball and the other is a wide receiver , it’s like opposites and if you’re used to playing one it’s very hard to turn into the other .
The Bailey Smith saga . He is a go in and get it instinct he can’t change that instinct in a flash to a stay out of it and wait for the receive
VDM is the opposite of Smith , it’s not a go at the player it’s the type of player they are .

Check out Zela Margossian. Aussie Jazz pianist with Armenian heritage, born in Beirut. She's brilliant.
