The towering ruckman known as the ‘Mummy from Bunyip’, he impressed in pre-season practice matches in 2007 to earn a spot on the VFL list. he played six games as the Cats went on to win the VFL flag. Won the best and fairest at Bunyip in 2006 and was runner up in the Ellinbank and District The towering ruckman known as the ‘Mummy from Bunyip’, he impressed in pre-season practice matches in 2007 to earn a spot on the VFL list. he played six games as the Cats went on to win the VFL flag.

I recall watching him in a few VFL games this year. He really did influence the games alot. I thought highly of his skills, and his mobility isn't bad.

Who edits that shit? Made my eyes bleed reading that. :thumbsd:
I don't know what the club saw in him during his limited VFL appearances, because I honestly didn't see much.
Hi Guys,
I am a Hawks fan (at least you didnt beat us last year, thankfully we didnt play you once you got going), but thats irrelevent, I am also a member of Bunyip FC, so can tell you a little more about Shane.
His 6 games basically came down to the fact that Westy was on your list, and once Kingy came back to the two's they didn't want to play three ruckmen. He got very limited time, and did ok when he got the chance. He did also play in the VFL under 23 (or whatever it was) side for victoria, and also in the VCFL side.
Since last season he has dropped more weight. I am friends with his family and have seen first hand how he has improved his fitness.
He dominated the EDFL last year, as he should. Its not the strongest comp going around, but there are some strong sides, and he did stand out.
His last two years of local footy has seen him come on. Before that he carried too much weight.
He is a very very good tap ruckmen, can drop it anywhere around the circle and is rarely beaten (at this level anyhow).
His body is mature, he is not a bean poll type.
His second efforts are his strength. If he crashes a marking contest, more often than not, he is the one roving it and taking the ball away.
His marking is solid, but could be better in my opinion. Needs to take a cleaner one grab, especially when drifting across a pack. Dont get me wrong, he does this, but it would be better if he did it all the time (a.k.a Paul Salmon at his best).
His attitude is great. He did all the work since the end of last season and more or less forced his way back to Geelong to make them consider him again. They were suprised, and as such have taken a chance on him.
Remember, ruckmen take longer, he is 21 and is at least three years ahead of most 18 year olds as far as body maturity goes. Kruzer expected I guess.
I hope he goes well for you.
Cheers
Bards

I was thinking exactly the same thing, I thought he looked way off the mark. Extremely slow.

"Mummy the Bunyip"? What a brilliant nickname!
Definitely more creative than Big Mumma

I have noticed in the G-Addy that from time to time both Mumford and West have been named in KKP's on certain occasions. Are these players simply Ruckman or does anyone think that they have the ability to play AFL KPP in the future?
Please give your reasons "why" or "why not"
