Nathan Freeman was drafted by Collingwood with pick 10 in the 2013 National Draft and was projected as a dynamic midfielder of the future.
However, ongoing hamstring injuries derailed his career and he ultimately only played two games â for St Kilda in 2018.
He has since found his footing in the VFL, dominating for Frankston early in the 2021 season.
Freeman is averaging 41 disposals per game across the opening fortnight of the season and has been a crucial cog in the Dolphinsâ engine room.
The mid-season draft is coming up in June, but the 25-year-old isnât thinking about the future.

LEXINGTON, Ky. â University of Kentucky students are working to develop a helmet testing method and collect data that will hopefully serve as the start of a crushing-safety standard for equestrian helmets.
Crushing accidents, while rare, occur when the rider falls from the horse and the horse either steps on or falls on top of the riderâs head. While equestrian helmets certified according to ASTM standards protect riders in a variety of ways, there is no test in place to evaluate a helmetâs crush resistance.
Sam Darry left Canterbury for Auckland after a phone call from Blues coach Leon MacDonald. Darry’s move to Auckland bucks the trend of the Blues losing talent from their region. They’ve pinched one from the Crusaders. The 20-year-old from Christchurch, a Christ’s College product, was rising through the ranks with the Crusaders’ academy. He was selected for the New Zealand Schools team and the under-20s programme, and played for Canterbury in last year’s Mitre 10 Cup. Surely the Crusaders, the reigning champions, would be the next natural step in the promising lock’s progression? Not quite.
