Gach Nyuon with a late pick?

[picket fence 15,891]

Really like the look of him from what I have seen! Anyone else see the potential here?

[Middymalt 244]

They had a write up in the local about him apparently dominated in the last half of the TAC season worth a look

[olisik 4,060]

Yes from me

[daisycutter 28,732]

highly speculative

[whatwhat say what 20,668]

from all reports is an athlete who can jump and run a bit but has absolutely no idea how to kick whatsoever and is built like a rake.

No thanks, let's just rookie the best state league ruckman as backup.

I'm sure we will have someone in mind, fair chance it will be a ready to go after letting Jamar and Fitz go.

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Maybe at Pick 6 in the Rookie Draft, but if Andre Parella is also available there, then i'd rather him. Really aggressive!

[RalphiusMaximus 6,005]

I don't mind young Gach. He'll take a bit of work, but physically he has everything he needs to make it. As always, bear in mind that rucks generally take a while. Four or five years work and I think we'd have a very handy player.

In the Academy vs the Northern Blues game I remember watching him kick to the man on the mark 5 metres away than stand still as he let his opponent run inside 50m, wasn't very impressive at the time. Definitely has come a long way since the academy games I saw him in and was impressive in the u18 Champs.

Lacks aggression but has all the other tools to make it as a ruckman in the AFL, I can see him being taken before our second batch of picks as I see Gach as just about the only ruckman worthy of being drafted this year from the u18 pool based on talent.

I'd prefer Buzza, the QLD boy.

Sounds to me like he'd be a rookie list prospect, if anything.

[beelzebub 22,829]

Pass...not for us

[Craig Drinker 179]

We should be on the lookout for a backup ruckman that can go forward and kicks goals. Takes the pressure off Hogan a bit. Unfortunately Spencer doesn't offer this.

He is more of a 'wrecking ball' type ruckman that is not a great kick and might take a mark once in a fortnight. We are a bit light on for a bit of quality in this department and I hope the club are addressing this.

For those in the know, does King provide and option here? Is he coming along at all?

[Adzman 2,088]

Was just delisted by Essendon. Didn't see much of him in the VFL.

Since being drafted all I can remember about him was that he was arrested for drunken death threats against an uber driver.

Anyone seen his development over the past 12 months?

Sounds great!

Probably the harshest player reviews I've ever seen. And with that off field incident maybe they aren't wrong.

Do not touch him.

[junk 342]

gach might be worth a rookie try as long as someone can improve his ways.

Scathing and kinda unprofessional.

Looks like it's a big no though.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,629]

How is his first or Christian name pronounced?

Is it "Gash"?

If so, I'd cut him some slack.

[Left-Field 71]

Would take him, the uber incident was out of character as he's normally a very calm person.

[Return to Glory 7,869]

The review was pretty tough - equated the beers had the night before with amount of disposals. If we follow that logic, twenty beers may equate to twenty disposals and so on and so forth. I haven't even factored in spirits. It's a big yes from me.

I hear you are up for Romsay's multicultural ambassador award. Is that kind of like the Sir Les Patterson of Romsay award?

I would be proud to win an award that carried that great Australian's name.

 

BTW knucklehead it's Romsey!
