Fanning BOG

[Parallel Andy]

Evidence that Fanning deserved another year at the Pies.

In the VFL this week:
21 possessions
10 marks
22 hit outs
Beating Will Minson and Wade Skipper.

Somebody will pick him up. He is going to be a damn good player.

Dud and will always be one. Guy Richards had 20 odd touches last week and had a heap of hitouts doesn't mean he's a superstar.

 

[typewriter]

fanning is in exactly the same category as richards hack.
il never forget the amount of uncontested marks he actually dropped

Pretty much guaranteed - just like Billy Morrison's super BOG game when he was 14, no doubt he was going to be an AFL star after that.
Having said that, I wouldn't be too surprised if he does make the grade (Fanno, not Billy).

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Two AFL pre-seasons, finally developed after a stint at NBL...

There is no reason why he can't make the grade, and this game might just be a start.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Delisting him could be a mistake in hindsight, but his season 2006 was TERRIBLE. Good luck to him, hope he succeeds.

 

[jerry springer]

he was always going to put in a big effort against willy

he showed absolute nothing last year.no reason to keep him

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

They played Werribee.

 

[jerry springer]

They played Werribee.

them too

 

[BLmatt_20]

shittest player i'd seen in a long time.

 

[Jaiboy]

DUDES!!! What the hell ya judging him for, i think hes only played not even 20 senior games, hell stay juniors for other year then get picked up and start earning 500k a year. He did well concidering the lack of senior exp. Watch his space

 

[WakeUpPies]

dude i could have 50 touches playing on him, the biggest skinny stick and useless dud

 

[PieLebo87]

3 years younger then Bryan. He is 22yrs old. We all know when ruckmen develop. Anyway, Im not for Fanning. Hes never going to be a good ruckman in the AFL, thats why Collingwood never persisted with him. Hell, he may even be better then Richards in the long run, but Richards is older with more short-term benefits in MMs eyes, so we stuck with him for that short-term period.

Forget them both, and Bryan, these guys aren't, and never were intended to be in the long-term rucking future for Collingwood.

agreed. Good for fanning if he succeeds, no hard feelings against him what so ever. But year we need to get some kids for our non-existent ruck division sometime soon, as richards and bryan are only short term solutions to a long term problem.

So who is the long-term rucking future at Collingwood?

Fraser and whoever we pick up this year in the draft.

Not another Podisadly.....

Well they were saying on the ABC that Rowe was well suited for VFL football, I would guess that David Fanning is as well. I heard even Brayden Shaw had a good game for Port as well.
