is this legend his uncle?

God, I bloody hope not.

 

[Pugsley]

Shirley show us what you got.

I like getting tall blokes from the Bombres

How do you pronounce his last name?

I go "Strahn"

Can he tap it to the feet of the mids? Because that's about as creative as we get.

That's the only tap he has.

 

[mistylake]

Well at least we know the club is realising that Jacobs is just about cooked. I've never heard of this guy but he's worth a rookie spot at least. I was getting very nervous about next year with our ruck stocks.

We must be at least mildly concerned using our first rookie selection on him.
Didn’t Charlie go no.7 in the rookie draft?
He was an instant hit.

Who cares, he’s Strawny to me.

 

[Santoz]

Bump.

Just getting Strachany back on the first page

Interesting in most of Kieran's games for South Bendigo he was named up forward in the selected teams.

He probably does for us in the SANFL too? ROB lead with Hunter and Strachan forward and rotating in.

Great. We've got an Essendon supporter curating our board

Good bump, hopefully it'll help push the "we're a shitshow" thread off the front page

He's a ruck that can play forward. His ability to cover the ground is one of his biggest assets.

 

[Next Gen Rookie]

Good to hear he's asked his sister about living in Adelaide.

Sister is premiership Thunderbird (and Australian Diamond) Bec Bulley.

Too many posters pushing that agenda...

That's OK. He's currently the favourite to take out the Angus Graham best ruckman to never play a game award at B&F night, to be presented by Luke Lowden

Surely the great J Meesen gets a gig in there somewhere?

 

[119others]

Bizarre to think this guy is now probably (at least equal) to 2nd back up ruckman.

Just over a decade ago we had (from memory) Clarke, Hudson, Biglands, Maric and Jono Griffin all in the same squad within 12 months of each other

Meese played two games. The second one wasn't actually that bad.

 

[Houston]

Perhaps the most poorly edited highlights video I've ever seen. There is a bit to like there though.

Ben Dowdell stiff

I'm pretty sure Meesen was on our list at that time too

So yeah, I think in 2006 we had 6 rucks on our list

Yeh, though 'highlights' didn't give me much confidence.
Being a ruckman, I thought they might of shown his work at the centre bounce but there wasn't one.
And he seemed to two grab his marks when he had an opponent
In his interview he talked about putting on some size. The guy is 23, surely he would have been working in the gym for the last 5 years doing that ? Not waiting until he gets on an AFL list before he starts doing weights

[Thylacinus]

I really love the authenticity and naturalness of a number of our new draftees. Kieran is one of these. Great the way he is just so honest and straight out in the interview (see Bicks post above). Really hopes he makes it, particularly as he has some real footy presence ( tall and athletic) and smarts to assist here. One of these yet again Crows who fly under the radar types - I hope!!!

 

[Thylacinus]

This thread from the Bombers Board on Strachan is quite interesting: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/66-kieran-strachan-rookied-by-adelaide.1155525/

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I saw a couple of,glimpses of him in the sanfl coverage that suggests to me we might have found some talent with this guy. Very good/ quick hands and coordination for such a big guy

Nice little contested mark & goal on the weekend.

 

[SellarStardom]

A shout out to Strachan on his debut, all the best, let's hope he can get some touches and possibly a goal.

Another debut is a good thing!!
