I don't agree.

Just because he is 200cm doesn't mean he has to play first ruck. After one or two pre-seasons he could be played in a number of roles. He could be a great intercept defender given his pace and athleticism. He could do a Jackson and play as a third tall and ruck part-time in the forward 50. 

He could even make a great full back or full forward.

Ultimately, like Jackson he will ruck at times. He is a very good basketballer which seems to be a good trait for ruckmen. 

While supporters tend to pigeonhole players into positions, AFL coaches are less inclined to do so. This three or four years waiting is nonsense.

Sheesh well called mate.

    I wonder how Mac would go in our forward line.

    Still annoyed about the AFL's NGA backflip. Does Mac have any more younger brothers!?

    Is Riak in our NGA though? He has to be, right?

    Anyone here still doubt the ability of Mac Andrew?

    The kid is a star already.

    Expect a formal apology from the AFL.  They had a rule that gifted Jamara to the bulldogs.  Then changes it and Mac Andrew gets drafted by the Suns. Dees miss out.  Now they change the NGA rule back !!! wtf.  They are a joke.  Bring on Tarion Ah-mu.

    Sorry I’m a bit late to the party here but I was at PFS on Saturday afternoon to watch the Demons vs Suns and it was the first time that Andrew and JVR played on the same ground in an AFL game. 

    I get it that form varies from game to game and Andrew has a big night the week before but I came away happy. Happy for us that we got a player who will be one of our greats in the forward line for hopefully, many years to come. I’m also happy for the Suns that they have a different type of Cat who I think will play some good football for them although he might never justify being picked in his draft year immediately after Nick Daicos.

    Yep.

    Started to show glimpses of his talent this season, but no way justified this kind of offer.

    riak andrew's write-up in the rookie me central wildcard summary...

    #5 Riak Andrew
    Tall Defender | 192cm | 17/02/2005

    Stats: 12 disposals, 7 tackles, 3 rebound 50s

    Having arguably been bested by Jobe Shanahan in their previous two meetings this year, Andrew faced the daunting task once more and kept Bendigo’s spearhead forward goalless for just the second time. The over-ager stuck tight to his direct opponent and was able to nullify his marking influence when Bendigo had the wind advantage. After some tough moments in term two, one of Andrew’s best moments was a rundown tackle late in the piece to exemplify his effort and intent.

    Definitely pick up Riak.

    We might be sitting quite well for talls in 14 months time. Andrew, Ah-Mu and White.

    And no, I don't want some nuffy to say "that's if White comes". White will be a Demon.

    Risk is an over-ager... I take it he's a late developer?

    It's a nightmare trying to find actual rules to see if Riak is even still in our academy. One set of rules I found said you can include an overage player in your academy but nothing conclusive about whether that allows you to match bids or preselect as a rookie.

    Forget about whether White will come, first we got to see if he's actually any good. JT never promotes the guys in younger years for a good reason. Got to dare to dream but we're a long way off knowing if he's even someone we want yet.

    The AFL rarely do things by accident NS.

    The idea was to make sure we didn't get him but instead went to their preferred franchise.

    Did we protesteth at tbe highest levels i wonder?  The filth would have pushed for some form of compo and/or made sure this didn't happen surely?

    That's a bit of a delicate one. Always been excited as the prospect of Kalani playing for us but I'm also not completely sold on him. I do know he was a bottom ager this year. Tarion Ah-mu appears to be the greater priority.

    both have played 'up' in their underage year - i'm confident both will be afl-level recruits

    in terms of riak, the rule SEEMS to indicate that he remains in our academy as he wasn't selected as an 'underage' recruit

    kid is still all of 19 currently, so hardly 'mature age'

    Over ager because he was primarily focused on basketball though, is that right? 

    As a catergory b rookie I am not sure what we have to lose, particularly if it might help to lure Mac.

    My understanding is you can forget about Mac as he isn’t going anywhere.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
