Player Watch Welcome Max Ramsden, Pick 6 2022 MSD - extends to 2026!

[tommyk72]

Will be interesting to see if the advantage stays the same as the covid effected years get further behind us.

 

[matey]

Already an elite runner for his height. With reports of him working hard over summer and putting on 10kg he would be creeping towards 100kg

Can't see him spending too much longer at BH, kid is going to be a superstar HF

Reckon we need to temper our expectations of Max. He's shown potential, he's still green, though. He'll spend the majority of 2023 at Box Hill developing his game.

Needs another 10kgs and another pre season at least

You don't reckon he'll get a run this year? Or that's until he's "ready"?

He will probably get a gig later in the year if his form holds and lewis is there. At the moment we probably want him building consistency in the VFL week to week

 

[Elhawko]

He speaks so well.

Great to hear that he’s seen more as a forward that will give a chop out in the ruck.
Putting on 10kgs in his time with us so far, he’s making good progress towards a debut.

It was all going so well until Max said his favourite premiership was 2008, when he was FIVE!! Five, in 2008! I’ve got fillings older than these players!

[moginie]

He did some good things today. Still raw but progessing nicely.

 

[MillerHawk]

Yep, he's gonna make it. All the tools are there.

 

[bigconornash]

Backing it up. Really promising signs.

 

[TylerDurden]

He follows up at stoppages like a mid. Has some aggro too.

 

[WWSD]

VFL - Round 3

11 disposals - 5 marks - 5 tackles - 8 hit-outs - 2 goals - 1 behind

Hopefully he isn’t too far away from making his debut. We desperately need a second ruck that can take marks and kick goals.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Imagine your childhood photos being nothing but HD quality.

 

[SSSSSS]

Legs still haven't grown.

 

[Coach Killer]

He's very raw, did some really nice things today. Maybe a few games at end of year but no need to rush him, he's very raw.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

The one benefit of watching BH at the G before the AFL was seeing how much bigger the AFL guys are. Ratagulea who would be Rammas opponent if he played AFL today is genuinely enormous and would monster Ramma. Love Rammas ability to assume.front position and nice clean hands but needs time.

 

[The hands of stone]

I wouldnt be playing him until Lewis is back in , up and going .

A few games towards the end of season would be a good result .

Like most of the guys he really needs this season plus another pre season to be towards AFL ready

 

[chopflop]

Uber talented. But decision making still too raw for the big dance for mine. Will get a debut this year for sure

 

[Dewwwww]

I’m one of Max‘s biggest fans and can’t wait to see him make his debut

however I also believe we should hold him back. Let him develop and grow at Box Hill this year with a game or two in the seniors late this year to fire him up for a big preseason.

He is super talented and I believe he is going to become a very handy AFL player (clearly the club thinks the same by signing him until end of 26) however he is still very raw.

2024 is his year to start making inroads in the Seniors

 

[MrPremiership]

Can't keep playing with a KPF.

If there is no trust in Kosi, and Lewis keeps getting delayed, I don't think we have many more genuine options than to debut Ramma before he's ready

 

[cryptor]

Watched him at the G yesterday. He'll be a player for sure, but is not ready for AFL level. Patience.

 

[TylerDurden]

Agree. Imagine Lewis gets triple teamed until we find support. May as well trial it now. Our season is over anyway.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He follows up at stoppages like a mid. Has some aggro too.

And he’s smart.

There’s a lot to like.
