DemattiaFor real, who will be taking our ruck duties in the VFL now?
Josh Fraser captain-coachDemattia
It's an interesting question whether Checkers was a recruiting error or he developed heaps or a bit of both.Same age Mihocek wasn’t getting a game at AFL level.
I thought we were delisting him to open up an MSD spotDemattia
That was before Begg got injured. Can't delist him now. He's our number 1 ruck.I thought we were delisting him to open up an MSD spot
Mihocek was a star and gun in the VFL for years though.Same age Mihocek wasn’t getting a game at AFL level.
ohh, behave. you can't post sensible shit like thatMihocek was a star and gun in the VFL for years though.
Callow hit his peak as a giant 18 year old and has never improved.
I can’t believe some posters still want him. He’d be the biggest whipping boy of all time at the pies. He totally relies on an aerial game yet can’t get separation. AFL defenders would have a field day on him.
Some posters have a teenage fantasy about these big hulky guys that doesn’t fit the AFL these days.
Everyone wants a Jed Walter type. Unfortunately, when those powerful types are actually good at football, they tend to get picked up.Mihocek was a star and gun in the VFL for years though.

Begg is getting delisted anyway, according to some on here.That was before Begg got injured. Can't delist him now. He's our number 1 ruck.
I'm talking about Demattia.Begg is getting delisted anyway, according to 'the name I shall not speak'...
I don’t see the bolded as an issue for our gamestyle as McStay has the same problem.Mihocek was a star and gun in the VFL for years though.

Yes I know. My point was just that it doesn't matter about Begg being injured now or not, because he's also being delisted..I'm talking about Demattia.
Not me, I reckon he could get another year. i like his ruck roving, if you like old terminologyBegg is getting delisted anyway, according to some on here.
I reckon we'll blood someone from a State League. No idea who that might be, but the club will have some options in mind. Can't rely on part-timers for the many weeks Begg is likely to be out.For real, who will be taking our ruck duties in the VFL now?
I just don't see him as ever being an AFL ruckman. I'd love to be wrong. I'd really like if he could be a bit more versatile.Not me, I reckon he could get another year. i like his ruck roving, if you like old terminology
Shame that VFL listed/Chargers, 204cm young ruck Boston Dowling is a couple weeks away after having a stress fracture. But he's doing rehab atm.I reckon we'll blood someone from a State League. No idea who that might be, but the club will have some options in mind. Can't rely on part-timers for the many weeks Begg is likely to be out.
They’re also older and some of the ones that were ditched have returned to starring at VFL level.There are way bigger busts than Begg from the MSD - He's played AFL footy and stuck around for 3 seasons after his initial drafting.
A lot of MSD draftees have been ditched after 6 months and never played AFL footy.
It’ll be a combination of Purcell, Glover and maybe Kreuger. Potential for Johnson but he has a lot to work on.I reckon we'll blood someone from a State League. No idea who that might be, but the club will have some options in mind. Can't rely on part-timers for the many weeks Begg is likely to be out.
At Club42 Hine said he simply wasn’t ready earlier.It's an interesting question whether Checkers was a recruiting error or he developed heaps or a bit of both.
he's only 197 cms and doesn't possess massive spring, so he won't ever be a full-time /1st ruck.I just don't see him as ever being an AFL ruckman. I'd love to be wrong. I'd really like if he could be a bit more versatile.
Bring back RobertsI reckon we'll blood someone from a State League. No idea who that might be, but the club will have some options in mind. Can't rely on part-timers for the many weeks Begg is likely to be out.
For me, it's his follow up work. He miss times his leaps. I don't know if his follow up work will be enough thoughI just don't see him as ever being an AFL ruckman. I'd love to be wrong. I'd really like if he could be a bit more versatile.
Just because there are other players who busted faster than Begg doesn’t make him any less of a bust himselfThere are way bigger busts than Begg from the MSD - He's played AFL footy and stuck around for 3 seasons after his initial drafting.

The Devils VFL team perhapsCallow won’t be drafted by us. Might as well be the buzz kill here. He’s just not on any radar but the Devils’.
