I think this was more a need. Although he is not a pure ruckman, I think we'll try to develop him into one.

Very Very happy with this Pick,
This kid could become anything and i mean anything , Once he puts on another 10-12kgs he will become our full FB/CHB that takes the monster FF or the resting ruckman and can also go foward if we need to throw him up foward.
My Ideal team would have a 200cm Backman that has the speed and agility that Dustin Fletcher has that can also Play 10-15% in the Ruck or go foward - in 3-4 years time we will have this in Liam McBean and at the time where Chaplin is starting to finish up. GREAT PICK TIGERS
With 1 Full time Ruckman + Vickery & McBean we will be a very very hard team to match up in the Ruck
Yep. Agile, great hands, good disposal. Should have gone top 20 but clubs are put off at his weight 81kgs.
He could be the first ever 200cms versatile winger.
Just find it interesting, if we see him as a ruckman, that we would put the time into developing an 80kg string bean, but applying similar logic in reverse, wouldn't want to use pick 9 on a 100kg near ready made proposition in Grundy. But sounds like the kids has some good attributes... time will tell if he can get himself and AFL game before being snapped in half
Brb cya in 6 years...Bizarre pick considering the players still on offer around him. I would have rather drafted for a ready made ruck in 6 years time with a 2nd/3rd rounder without paying all the development fees and use this years pick on something useful buuuut they appear to know what they are doing atm so we will see. Good luck Beano. Go to the gym NAOW!!! Dirty bulk wtf!
He'll be loving the fact he got drafted to the Tigers. Big fan. We can afford to give him time.
About to post exactly the same...Recruited for the sole reason of stopping this guy in the near future:
Another undersized tall that lacks a good 15kg+ and not really a true ruckman despite the height. Very odd.
Another undersized tall? You serious? They are 17/18 year old boys. What do you expect them to be?
Really hope that Vickery, Griffiths, Elton & McBean all can make it into the one side.
They are all very athletic for their height and it will make us a very difficult side to match up on.
