The Riv

I don't think that's ever happening.

were 189cm and 82kgs... he's now 191cm and 86kgs. I know they've had their measurements taken. But you blokes seem to have missed the point I'm trying to make. Nothing has so far confirmed these are his actual official measurements from the testing on Monday. The article is Paywall so maybe it could say its the official measurements obtained from the day and if it does, my mistake. He's supposedly listed at 74kg after the measurements had taken place, yet MA himself has said he's at the 80kg mark in an interview only 2 weeks ago. I mean i have legitimately quoted MA himself who has stated he's put on 10 kilos and is up around the 80kg mark? And I'm pretty sure someone who's close contact with him confirmed this on this board few weeks back? Just find it really strange some aren't willing to believe the kid himself.

Where does it say that the Herald Sun obtain these measurements though? Measurements are recorded for the recruiters purpose and also just from a development point of view. They wouldn't just release it to the HS for 'Mock Draft' purposes or most media outlets. Even on Cal Twomey's recent Phantom mock Draft he's still listed at 70kg. From the horses mouth. “I’ve put on about 10 kilos this year, so I’m about 80 now,” Andrew recently told The Age.

Mac Andrew himself has said in an interview that he's hit the 80kg mark.

He was a player welfare officer. One of the most key important roles in a football club from a off field point of view. Ignorant to question his role if you have zero idea what he actually did.

Bit annoyed with the timing. This was a role that could have easily been offered up maybe to a Neville Jetta.

Go watch the Sydney game.

DeezDayz was indeed a strange unit. But he chose to support another team and that's on him. At the time it was a pretty dark place be supporting Melbourne. If watching Richmond win 3 premierships made him happy then good on him. I know two past Melbourne supporter who stopped supporting the Dees in the 2012-2013 period. One completely stopped watching AFL and turned to rugby league the other started supporting GWS.

Good try. Though, seeing as you and your little pals continually clogged up the board up with your worthless draft games, I suppose every club needs that 'one supporter' around the joint, and you typify that role extremely well.

He watched his new team win 3 premierships.

He has a point. Dealing with Rhino Richards at the time would have made me change teams.

Who cares. Club is bigger then the individual.

What's the whisper?

Getting absolutely shafted here @picket fence

Shhh! We're still keeping Kobi George under wraps....

So I'm guessing that means we have 2 live picks in the draft?

I thought Gil was bad making up rules on the go. But this thread takes the cake. Actually I lie, i still have no idea what the [censored] this thread is about.

Yeah nah.. you've had a shocker with this thread.

You do realise it's the exact same phantom form guide you posted last week?

Depth. Lucky to even be on the list considering his body is made out of paper. Has never strung a full season at AFL/VFL level because of injury.

And I clearly pointed out to you that his tank really isn't an issue as he is able to get around the ground and win his fair share of the footy as shown in his NAB league games. He just gets lost when he's playing up forward. Being in a full time AFL environment will help this. His forward craft will need working out. I haven't been a supporter of him up forward. I am a believer that he should at times been trialled down back in the same role as Aliir Aliir as that intercept role. Even Mac Andrew has been on record saying he actually prefers playing down back then in the ruck. Club recruiters obviously see a higher ceiling in him over others in the draft. Ruckman have obviously become the new shiny toy now especially with the emergence of Luke Jackson and his performance grand final performance. If clubs think Andrew can at least emulate some of those athletic traits then good on them. The chance of getting a good young talented ruckman onto your list to develope is worth gold gold to most clubs hence why there's significant interest inside top 15 for him.

Oh well. It's been banged on about so many times over the years. Get over it and move past it, it's been 25 years now. Celebrate what's unfolding right in front of our eye.

Lol. How do you know this is a tank issue? You do realise this is a common theme with ruckman coming through the junior ranks. It's most likely that it's a consistency thing throughout on gameday then a tank just like most young ruckman. Coaches find it easier to work on their tank then the game awareness. You've also unfairly judged his performance against Geelong as well. Not only did his team get thumped by over 120 points on the day, he spent majority of the game up forward (an unnatural position for him) where its until the last quarter where he was thrown into his natural position in the ruck and actually did play quite well. You could make a case that 18 other of his teammates on the day weren't much chop. In the NAB league his round 2 performance saw him gather 22 disposals as a ruckman. Is that a tank issue? His round 15 performance against Easten Rangers he gathered 18 disposals playing again in his natural position. In fact in all the games he played in the NAB league besides the game against Bendigo Pioneers where he was concussed in the opening minutes of the game his lowest tally of disposal game was 12. So there's evidence there that shows he can easily get around the ground with no issues once he's playing more in his natural position in the ruck.
