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.

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.....

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,

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

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 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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
