He may have got a game or 2 this year. He something like 195cm but still pretty light

Its a shame he is a good KPP talent

This is his bio on the Freo page

QuoteJoel is a promising forward prospect who played league football for the Perth Demons in the WAFL in 2010.

The youngster will hope to break into Freoâ€™s senior side in 2011.

Fremantle hope will develop into a fine key-position player.

Has outstanding endurance and agility, playing much of his junior football in the midfield. His marking on the lead and his ability to present towards the kicker are strengths, as well as being an excellent set shot for goal. Represented WA in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships in 2009.

194cm 82kg

Damn we need our KPP prospects to be fit so we can build a forward line for when Pavlich doesn't play

You just need your players to stay fit, they are all made of glass :p

Hey we don't have that many injuries most of the time the injuries just become inconvenient because the players that are injured are in good form and leading Fremantle in the right direction

valkorum · January 21, 2011, 02:33:01 PM

We have had about 8 - 10 players injured for the last 2 - 3 season ---- thats a fair amount to have.

So far we have injured:

A Morabito - season
R Hayden - half season
J Houghton - broken arm (undetermined but prob a few months)
M Walters - in rehab group
H Ballantyne - in rehab group
T Ruffles - in rehab group
M Barlow - recovering from broken leg
