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.

    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...

  • Quote

    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.... :huh:

    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..

    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.

    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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
