Joel Freijah has been given the perhaps unwanted tag of the next Marcus Bontempelli. While he does possess some of the same physical attributes as the Bont, he is just at the start of his AFL career and has not yet found his best spot in the Bulldogs senior team. Luke Beveridge likes flexibility in his players, and Freijah has spent some games mostly in the middle, or starting at half back, with some forays forward as well. A player with his potential usually settles into midfield but, as with the Bont, his talents may see him as a hybrid who goes where the coach needs him most.
