Waste of a draft pick.

Let me give you a clue or two.

Adelaide were desperate to have reserve ruckmen for back-up and the future.

They drafted 2 out of their 3 picks - 1 from the SANFL and 1 from the VFL.

They rookie listed a further 2 out of their 4 additional rookie picks.

AND they delisted Ben Marsh.

Does that give you any clue to just how ordinary this guy is??

Let's just say when I heard the Crows had delisted Marsh, I had the same or perhaps even more euphoria / relief as D Gallagher being traded to Carlton. Good Luck!

Has always had his fair share of natural ability but unfortunately for him & us he rarely ever displayed enough of it, looked the goods early on in his career before his knee gave way in 99 & has since shown himself to lack a bit of grunt & at times was a touch on the soft side.

But who knows maybe a change of clubs will make a huge difference & he will end up the recruit of the year but some how i doubt it.

Give him a heart transplant and he'll be better...

Yeh well he wont be in our best 22 easily. He is just a back up if stafford or Ottens is injured. Cause last season when ottens was injured staff had to do the whole ruckload and it was hard on him. So yeh

I thought he competed reasonably well with Everitt in the little ground time he had in the last game he played for us.

Marsh could still be something.

Now that has to be an understatement - "at times was soft" more likely at all times he was soft. "Soft" as dairy whip icecream...good luck Richmond - I believe you have a good heart transplant division at St Vincents - better book him in now as only 13 weeks to start of footy season ....

Guys he is a back up ruckman and i would be very suprised if he got more than 5 games this year. Its not like he is going to be our number 1 ruckman. And i would be quite happy with biglands actually he is a gun

You guys will be in strife if Marsh gets any games. Like D Gallagher I will be very happy if he lines up against us.

You can probably land Biglands if your willing to part with Ottens.

Would've been better off drafting Liber as a backup ruckman.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Ever watched 2003 SANFL Grand Final??????

Noddy you are being way too kind

I guess you would already know what our response to that ludicrous offer would be.
