Ben "curse of the dreds" Nason

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

This bloke was the best thing to come out of Tigerland until he cut his hair. Similar to Chance Bateman in this way.

Worth a rookie spot?

Yes? No?

Have watched him play a lot a VFL football. In a word... no...

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Absolutely not. Have watched him very closely. Offers nothing.

[Demons 32 235]

Such a lil b....

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,950]

In the 1970's The Bulletin magazine used to do one page serious book reviews. For the book "Yea" the review was simply "Nay". For Nason, I say, nay,son.

i rate him, got a lot of heart

We've spent five years trying to get rid of average players (with a few more to come). Why did you say this?

Perhaps if he adds a Lynden Dunnesque mostache it might be worth looking at.

Agreed! Haha

[Steamin Demon 392]

Too small. List clogger if I've ever seen one.

There's always one.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Best thing to come out of Tigerland? LOL

Similar to Chance Bateman that they were great before they lost their hair? LOL

Worth a rookie spot? LOL

Yes?No? LOL

Can we get Cale in for a pre-season transplant?

Edit: Sorry Cale.

When you are as small as him you have to be really good to make it.

I am afraid he is not really good.

Was hoping to rid ourselves of supercillious hair growths and you're advocating another..... egads !!!

[Sir Why You Little 37,241]

i hope he stays a tiger...that means we are always a good chance of victory...

[diesel 420]

Who are the three people who voted Yes?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

No way. We have our own 'never-quite-theres' - we dont need any more.

[deeflog 679]

struggled at VFL level when his career at tigerland was in jeopardy, tells me he doesn't have the desire or hunger for it

a massive NO from me

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

I wouldn't go for him but he has talent. He is not a list clogger etc...I have seen him play 2 or 3 games and he is definielty not a dud.

Agree he's not a dud. He's got a good football brain, reasonable skills and tons of courage. He's just too little and gets smashed too often. If he stays in AFL he will get killed one day.

Not for us

[Tony Tea 2,809]

He's not a dud. He's just another kid who can run & catch & kick, but who will never be a consistent league footballer courtesy of his size.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,950]

Apropos of other news late today, I've always thought of Nason as being Richmond's equivalent to Addam Maric. Similar size*, similar role, similar output and now similar outcome.

*Note - my assessment of size is purely visual. If stats say different, so be it.

I would have said David Rodan was the best thing to come out of Tigerland. I never understood why they dropped their one legitimate match-winning player.

Zero games in 2005 and five in 2006 wouldn't have helped (last two seasons there).
