[Big Blow Hard]

Is he worth considering for next season? Is he too old? Would we be treading dangerously down the recycled player path that hurt Carlton so badly? Or would he be a valuable asset?

Admittedly, I do not know too much about him, except he was delisted by the Crows, and last season had a knee reco.

Any opinions? (sorry if this has been done before, but now some of you have seen him in action for Bendigo, new opinions may have been formed)

I don't think we should pick him up. He's not too old but i have my questions over his disposal and i'm not sure if he would make it as a good player at AFL level. We are currently re-building and looking more to youngsters rathan than 25-26 year olds

 

[Spikey]

Depends on how many we cut at season end really. If we cut say 8 people from the senior list he may get picked up in the PSD but I don't really care either way.

 

[pinkcrows]

Is he playin for you 2nd team still in the vfl?

 

[lamaros]

No.

Yes.

 

[Schmick]

No thanks, was an average footballer when he played for the crows and would be 27 next season if we drafted him.
I'd rather other youngsters such as Houli, Hocking, Hislop, Myers ect all getting games in the midfield ahead of him, none of this recruiting older delisted players bullshit.

Good VFL player though

 

[Sanj]

No.

You said you watched the game yesterday

Stupid idiot...he does play for Bendigo. Just not in our senior list.

I'm pretty sure he said no to the fact that we shouldn't pick him up

Turns 26 in februaury next year. He's younger than Lovett.

No he's 26 now, DOB Born: February 25, 1982.

2008-1982=26, which is exactly what he's listed on Footywire.

Which means he turns 27 next year as I previously stated.

 

[retroparty]

Not worth it. He might be good for a year or 2 but I'd much rather get more kids in the national draft or preseason draft.

VFL Record says born 1983.

 

[Schmick]

VFL Record says born 1983.

One of the sites has f___ed up then I guess. Either way he's still not worth drafting to the club because he'd have very little to offer.

Agree.
