After watching this kid play for south fremantle against swans in the semi final, i was very impressed with the way he played on Paul Johnson.
Now i kno Paul Johnson isnt the most consistent of players, but he is a big solid bloke, and i know graham has height, but no where near the body strength, and i thort he beat johnson pretty well.

What do you guys think? and do you think he may be a chance at CHB for the eagles during the year?

He could well be. I think Beeck is in front of him for the coveted CHB role. I expect to see Beeck played in that role in the preseason. Beeck should have played CHB against Sydney in the final and that would have enabled Glass to mind O'Loughlin, who really cut us up. Chick wasn't the match up for him unfortunately. They took him to Sydney and in the end didn't use him - a mistake in the end.
Graham shows great promise as well, but probably needs another season of weight training. I expect him to be promoted onto the main list for 2005 though.

I havent seen that much of Zak Beek, so i cant really comment on him. Hasnt he been on the eagles list for a few years now? Eagles are in such a good position, all of these potential KKP in the wafl, and they all young. What future ahead, i love being an eagles supporter!

A bit like Lynch in that he will play well against the big slow guys but will struggle against the quicker guys. Quite slow.

Beek we talking about there? i thort he was a ruckman for east perth? I liked the way Graham didnt give up against johnson, even body 2 body, and was a great rebounder. Looking forward to seeing what he does next year, too bad he plays for souths.

Yes Beeck was a ruckman for East Perth, but in the last 4 games or so he played at CHB and starred. He has been slow coming onto the scene due to two knee operations. He is faster and more agile than Graham and will be fully pre-seasoned for 2005.

He is faster and more agile than Graham and will be fully pre-seasoned for 2005.

I wouldn't be too sure about the faster and more agile part.

 

[Bondy19]

Yer i wouldnt think Beek would be more agile than Graham, anyhoo.

I hope both get a chance to show their stuff in the preseason.
My money will be on graham.
