Big lump of a lad. Hope he can properly develop.

    True, I thought it was Spencil doing the kicking for him.

    Looking only at stats:

    Doesn't take a heap of marks and very few contested marks. Doesn't kick goals, 1 for the entire year. So very much a follower type of ruckman who looks as though he can run like an extra midfielder.

    Which is probably where the game is going with the Dogs using Roughead and Boyd like extra followers.

    Does find a bit of the ball and has had some big hit out games.

    Can't say he's any worse than most ruck prospects. But doesn't look like the answer to our forward/ruck problems.

    He's quite raw but i reallly like his intent and his follow up work, and he's quite good at getting clean hands on the ball in the ruck, will take some time but in 3-4 years i think he could be an AFL standard ruckman, good selection.

     

    very happy with our other two rookies as well.

    Oops?

    echoed my thoughts exactly.... Raw but something to work with here.  Needs a few meals :rolleyes:

    I'm glad we've got another ruck project on the books, but it still leaves us short if we need backup in the next few years.

    This bloke isn't the answer to any of our needs next year. Dunno what we are going to do if Max goes down..We will be funked.still think we could have rookied a mature Ruckman. Not another bean pole who can't kick

    I wish you'd told the FD this before the draft cos they probably don't know.  Just kidding.

    The FD obviously have a lot more faith in Pencil than many here.

    Spencil's performance in the VFL grand final justifies the lack of faith in his abilities such as they are.

    They believe in voodoo and have put a spell on Maxi so he'll never get injured again and play for 100 years.

    Otherwise no fing idea.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
