No, that would be McStringbeanNickname? McString for mine.
Still a chance one of them will.Mcbean won,t be ready for a few years.This probably means Wood and Stephensen don't get rookie listed.
He says models himself on Dean Cox - you got to like that.
I also love the Nat Fyfe comparisions although I'm not sure how true they are. Can anyone back this up with some facts or video?
Get thee to a gym Liam - and learn to love the pain.
A great long term project. We need to back our recruiting team. Should be ready for when big Ivan retires with the odd game thrown in before that. Could be fast tracked if we get injuries.

Welcome to Tigerland mate.
This is the kid your source was mentioning wasn't it?welcome to tigerland Mr Bean..
lets face it, if he comes on and develops, we have a mobile ruckman in the mould of Cox, if the reports are on the money that he can play like a midfielder with his "clearance" work etc....I really dont understand all the negatives here...the kid has shown he can play and has nouse on how to use it....lets hark back to our previous attempts to develop a ruckman and where they were at in the beginning and moreso at the end...nowhere.
Tigs how's McBean's aggression?This is the kid your source was mentioning wasn't it?
Seems fine around the ground. Not sure about in the ruck. He's not one I followed closely because I thought he'd go 1st round. Been saying it all year he'd be gone by our 2nd rounders.Tigs how's McBean's aggression?
Hey Guys,
Dons supporter here sorry, but thought I could add to the McBean hype
Seen a lot of Liam play over the years for abers and St Bernards, you guys could have something very special here. The comparison made earlier with Joe Daniher is an interesting one because they've played basically all their footy together and are best mates. Ability wise I honestly don't think there's as much difference between them as some think, Joe's developing slightly quicker, but they're both similar heights, quick for their size and good below their knee's. They've always been mentioned in the same breath at Bernards and Aberfeldie and worked in great partnership together so it will be interesting to see how both of their careers go
Obviously 'leesh' (McBean) will take some time but he's got an enormous amount
of upside and I'm happy he's gone to the Tiges, his dad Dave will be even happier!
Anyway thats me done, hope he has a great career for your boys.
I think the reason people are a little upset is because over the last few years our depth has been so poor that most fans have wanted to see 2nd round draftees come straight into the side and have an impact.
With our recent development and acquisitions, this is no longer needed,we actually have the capacity to draft players and let them develop.
He's probably rated as the 2nd best ruckman in the draft and if we didn't take him someone would have snapped him up shortly after, pick 32 could end up being a real steal.
It addresses a need and I'm really happy to see it, it's been ages since we actually developed our own ruckman.
