List Mgmt. CONFIRMED - Gary Rohan a Cat for pick 61

[Farmer2Goggin]

Great addition and as mentioned has to go down as a bargain recruit of the year. I need a piece of that humble pie.
So now we need to work out how to get his possessions up. Imagine the damage he could inflict...

I reckon if Rohan gets 12 and Gaz gets 15+ we win most of those games

 

[you pick one]

All the praise for his forward work,but Monday when the Hawks were making their run in the last quarter he went down back and had an influence on the game as well,came to the bench spent.

 

[Turbocat]

I didn't think he was capable of doing the hard stuff.When we have needed him he has stood tall in a couple of games now,he has that will to win,I'll eat all that pie.

I think we need to have a look at it ..years end... right now he has proven it a good use of P61 .. but if he can stay fit he could become a lot more like his original draft pick. Its all about staying fit.

 

[Max Milburn]

Yes, noticed that.

 

[God Mode]

So far, he's provided what Menzel has goal wise, but with a run-down tackle ability that makes me shit myself even at home. I'm happy, but the Mrs isn't about having to clean a stained couch.

He doesn’t need to get his possessions up. 12 touches for 4 goals is damn well damaging enough. Hell i’d take 4 possessions for 4 goals from him. He doesn’t need high possessions to be damaging.

Rumours are Gary Ablett prayed to the Lord for guidance and strength for the club at the end of 2018. In return, God sent us Gary Rohan.

[dazbroncos]

One of the most talented players in the competition. He's almost quicker than everyone else. He's powerful, has elite skill, can play as a key forward or as a small, is a tackling machine who can rundown defenders from anywhere and has a subliminal right foot. He's almost the perfect specimen for the modern day player.

His only downside is he doesn't read the play well enough to be a mid which is why he'll never be a big possession winner and it's the only reason he isn't, or won't ever be considered an elite player. And he hasn't been able to get any continuity to build consistency.

I was over the moon when we selected him because I knew he'd make our forward half so much stronger and it's been a major weakness of ours over the last few seasons. He's a really hard match-up for the opposition.

The opposition are going to put more time into him now which is his next hurdle. It'll also allow a bit more freedom for one or two others.

He needs to build on this now. I think he can become the player his #6 draft selection justifies.

Nice Garrrry!

Yeah Nakkers you were stout on this from the get go - and he may even have exceeded your expectation. But yeah well above what I thought he'd bring to this point.

I think Kingy said something like 43 touches for 11 goals.
Thats insane conversion per touch. He grabbed at a hammy I thought late on Monday but he played it out so must not have been too bad.
Long may the 10 possie 4 goal games continue.

Go Catters

Went off but came back on, looked like a cramp.

Go Catters

I saw him clutch at the hammy and my head dropped. He looked a little despondent on the bench too. He came back on so it must have just been cramp.

The commentators wanted it to be a hammy,Derm wanted Hawkins suspended and the other FW wanted the miracle Hawthorn come back,we didn't have to many friends among those dick heads.

Actually, I would have thought most Cats fans are now quite conscious of the capabilities of his right foot.

Yep.
To me it looked cramp straight away, never looked like a ping yet there was Derm and BT calling it a 4 weeker.

We could include the umpires in that list..

 

[Catman]

He's become almost a second tall alongside Hawk. I must admit I've been surprised by his aerial ability and numerous times on Monday he either took pack marks or made a contest, bringing it to ground where the smalls took advantage (Gaz's right foot banana was a direct result of this).

You can also see how much he's enjoying his footy. He's fit, healthy and becoming a key contributor in a winning team. There's a lot to be happy about.

We're only five weeks in, but for the price we paid, it's looking like a deadset steal.

With his speed is he the only one who could keep up with Petrochelli?

As long as we don't let the ball get over the back Petruccelle is useless. Ordinary footballer.

 

[foxdog50]

It looks like a Rubarb Humble... that would taste bitter.. what were your issues with him?

Speaking about Rubarb Pie.... How nice is it with Ice Cream and cream

 

[foxdog50]

Would you rest him at some time? As he hasn't played a full season? I would, But the big question is when if you did....

Yes, the bye week.

 

[Willo_]

I thought he could be a handy fwd as I've mentioned before I thought he was good on the lead and a lovely set shot, but I completely underestimated his desire to compete and willingness to throw his body in... His ability to split a contest has impressed me as much as anything and he seems to compliment our other forwards

 

[hamG]

Watching him in the U18s I picked him to win a Brownlow. He was a pre-injury Cooney type. Turns out I was slightly wrong. But equally Sydney's system and the SCG was not a good fit to showcase his abilities. Plus that terrible broken leg might have taken 24-36 months for him to really get over.

He's only 27, still time for my prediction to come true!
