Initially I think No.

He could be ok if he loses a lot of weight, because his mobility isn't flash.

He could possibly be acquired cheap though, because he is steadily heading towards the outer at the doggies, with Roughead and Cordy to both come into he side, and Hudson with more seasons in him.

Thoughts?

A better option than Jack bloody Anthony or Mitch Clark imho.

Give me Mitch Clark blind folded before you give me Will donkey Minson

First Richard Tambling, then this...

Do you actually rate Minson?

Id prefer a 5'2 Paul Johnson

gives away far too many free kicks for mine. crude tackler who doesn't sem to learn from mistakes.

a great bloke though, will is infact a huge jazz fan which has meant some very interesting music has been played at the new western oval gym!!

Will be surplus to requirements at Whitten oval, as they look to get more games into Roughead, and Cordy. For mine he is sorely lacking in footy smarts, despite apparently being quite cluey off the field. Far too often he seems more intersted in hurting someone in a tackle than winning a free kick..... PASS

Sam Jacobs is a better player than Will Minson.

I know that Adelaide is his preference, but surely Melbourne would look to have a crack at Jacobs before focusing their attention on Minson,

If i was compiling a list of the worst players in the afl who play on a semi-regular/regular basis, Will Minson would slip nicely into my top 20 (above Paul Johnson)

Some people rate Paul Johnson way too highly.

I'd take Minson over him.

Clark wouldn't be much better, but would cost a hell of a lot more.

I don't rate him highly at all, but he's better than Minson in skills alone.

You've actually picked the player i would rate... almost the worst in the AFL

will minson's attitude is not great, hence why he is in and out of the dogs team. definetly do not need him at our club with his attitude.

there is no way he is better than mitch clark but mark blake maybe!

Besides .. Minson will be pushed down the pecking order even more when the Doggies get their next f/s selection (thats right .. ANOTHER one!) Zaine Cordy (brother of Ayce) comes through the ranks in 3-4 years time (counting chickens much?).

In addition to Zaine they have Mark Hunter's son to look forward to in a couple of years also.

I think Minson is a terrible footballer. He is everything the doggies need in concept, but he doesn't actually do any of it. Drops marks, doesn't like contact (well, likes initiating it badly, but not a good receiver), doesn't ruck, immobile... I would rather persevere with Stef Martin. Big pass from me.

I will change clubs if we pick up Will MINSON.

NO WAY!

Tom Hawkins, Jesse White, Rhys Stanley yes...

If Johnson were delisted I would be alot more comfortable with Minson as a back-up than relying on Spencer.

why replace PJ with another hack ruckman?

where digging for gold, not dirt....

I think you should stick to your initial thought- NO.....

You bag PJ all the time- however I well and truthfully prefer him to Minson.Just once again WE see your judgement..I agree with TATU - we digging for GOLD not dirt..

Sam Jacobs is a better player than Will Minson.

There's also stuff all chance of getting Jacobs. There's no doubting Carlton have plenty of promise up their sleeve with regards to rucks, but they will not be letting Jacobs go without requiring the counterparty to cough up a left testicle. Let's try and be a little bit realistic.

I'm not that interested in Minson but at least E25 has named a trade-in that might actually be plausible.

I would take any of Jamar, Johnson, Fitzpatrick, Martin and Gawn over Minson.

Off topic slightly - excuse me but Zaine and Ayce??? And I suppose they have a sister named GaGa or Brittany too? Whatever happened to good old fashioned names like, say Neil and Brian for example?

Back on topic - Minson? Not for me. Is a man mountain but just doesn't do enough. Insert Tarzan and Jane analogy here. As others have pointed out he is also terribly accident prone. Too much downside, not enough up. Pass.

I cannot believe someone would start a thread on this guy

He has no idea and from his body language i doubt he is the learning type

VFL level player at best
