Ben McKinley

[Richo Man]

Don't know much but apparently was just said on the radio before wants to come to the Tiges. Would have to give up our 1st round pick and probably a player, but would be worth it. Maybe our 1st Round pick and say a Schulz or JON?
Thoughts?

 

[Ah Cheung]

I thought he just signed a 2 year deal this week?

 

[JSFish]

He looks pretty frucking good. Be fairly nice if that is true, but hopefully if it is we can get away with giving up a bit less than we would have to normally.

 

[Ah Cheung]

yep hes signed

[Croat tiger]

Is he that young forward from west coast?

A 1st round pick and a player WTF?? What is it about these players that have proved nothing and played a hand full of games being shopped around at such a high price.

 

[RichosGuns]

Now heres a player!

Imagine if we had Morton, Riewoldt and McKinley to lead us into the future.

This is one player I would be willing to trade hard for and throw a bucket of cash at. West Coast would probably want our 1st rounder or 2nd rounder and a good young player like Edwards or someone similar.

This is where our list managers have to earn their keep.

But imagine having 4 players in the fowardline that kicked 35+ goals this year in Richo, Morton, Brown and McKinley + Riewoldt, Cleve and Simmo

 

[sante]

Is lazy without the ball, but he is young.

I wouldn't give up our 1st pick though unless it got us more than McKinley.

 

[anti.]

he's pretty much just about to sign a contract.

not going to happen.

 

[Richo Man]

Ahh well was just another rumor. A mate called me and asked if I was listening to the radio because apparently McKinley said he wanted to be a Tiger. I didn't really look into it, got quite excited and because all the rumors are always on bigfooty, thought what the heck if it's not true 1 more rumor can't hurt.

 

[ize_]

He's a friend of a friend. Wanted to go to the Blues, very keen in fact. Best mates with Judd. Didn't happen, he has committed to the Eagles.

 

[GiveGasTheFlick]

McKinley is great mates with Cotchin they played together at eastern so there may be a chance he wants to come to tigerland.But geeees do we give up a first rounder for him im not to sure about that.

 

[Bojangles17]

we wouldn't go after him even if he was available, plays similar role to Morton and the now obsolete Pettifer do. There's only space in the F50 for one of these Mid size mark and kick type forwards...No more thanks...Incidently, I think your mate was playing with his pud when he suggested McKinley wanted to be a tiger

Actually, he's best mates with the entire Richmond coaching staff, played his early football with Jack Dyer, lived with Royce Hart, went on a yogic chanting retreat with Richo, and just bought the Dimmeys Store and is going to replace Dipper in their ads.

I love trade rumours.

Cotchin played at Northern.

 

[bigpapagman]

genuine rofl.

 

[dyl_tigerman]

he would sit perfect in our forward line...
with goudis ughes riewolt mitch he would be a great asset...
im happy to give early second round and a player...
but what number did he get picked up as

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

He was drafted at pick 29 in the 2005 draft.

We picked Hughes ahead of him and we should stick with Hughes.

Mckinley is half the size of Hughes (so to speak)..short forward v a towering FF...No comparrison, refer earlier ones to Morton

 

[larrikin]

He did

 

[folester41]

would slot into our foward line very nicely.
my best mate knows him and his family and he was looking to coming back to victoria.
very athletic and got a smart head on his shoulders.
not the tall foward we are really looking for though at 185 cm.
if he were to become available probably not worth what the eagles would be asking for as they rate him higher then other clubs.
will return to victoria sometime in his future.

 

[Richo Man]

Spoke to my mate again this morning. Turns out it was on 3AW's Whispers or whatever. He genuinely made it seem like this was coming from McKinleys mouth. Sorry all.

 

[Heisenberg_]

Neither of them played for the Eastern Ranges, and Cotchin hardly played any TAC Cup.
Not going to happen anyway since he just signed a 2 year deal a couple of weeks ago.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Cotchin played at Northern.

And is three years younger than McKinley.

 

[Richo Rules]

was said the other day he signed a 2 year deal with eagles
i think it was hutchy who said he spoke with his manager and that it wasnt true that he hadnt signed yet but most liely will
