An interesting idea. Sometimes a taste of the big time can serve as great motivation, sometimes because they can get their hands on it and feel like it's not so hard...and sometimes to see just how hard you must work at the highest level. Also the added satisfaction that you have actually played a game of AFL.

The only problem is, who gets dropped? Rest Jack?

Wish it was GWS this week and not Brisbane. I feel Brisbane are strong enough to warrant our best team. GWS is two weeks before finals I wouldnt like to flirt with players form only a fortnight out.

Yer agree. Perhaps we can throw a few changes against Carlton, given that it's 3 weeks out from the end of the year they will surely be in tank mode....but again it's getting a bit close to the finals.

In his first season at VFL level, he has kicked:

31 goals 25 behinds so far.
More goals than any other player at Coburg.
More goals than Joe Daniher (taken as a first round father/son pick, also in his first year).
One bag of 6, two bags of 4, one bag of 3 and bobbed up with 2 goals no less than seven times in his first 12 games.

Looks like he will provide a good return for pick 33 in the draft!

Initially when he was drafted I did not want another skinny developing Ruckman.

*eats words*

Love the Bean
 
If anything playing 1-2 kids could make the group feel like they're including a young guy in this special tiger team, so off-field they have that commonality and can talk about contending for premierships in the future and feel a part of the future. If they don't get a game, they feel like they had nothing to do with the success. And they are less confident about getting a game when the club aims to improve next year.

Don't want the young guys feeling distant from what is happening at the club - they're a part of it too.

A win on the road to finals would boost team morale in the off-season as the young guys would feel like they belong in the team and can talk to the older guys about wanting to win finals together... We can afford to go into Brisbane/Carlton with 2 kids I reckon.

A 6 keg preseason and full NAB Cup and lets revisit.

Could be our x factor in the hunt for a flag.

[Hope he dont play this year... no rush]

Agree.We need something to look fwd too over the summer.Mcbean Watch.
Which rnd will he debut?
Where to play Mcbean:Ruck,Fwd,Rover,HFF,HBF,CHF,CHB,BP,FB?
Which Number should he get?
Should the Punt road end of the G be renamed the Mcbean end?
How many goals on debut?
the list is endless.
So unless we want a boring pre-season then Mcbean should be put in cotton whool.:D
 
4 weeks out from an elimination final is probably time to bed the team down and get everything right. Maybe Geelong can experiment but they have so much finals experience it doesn't matter to them.

I want McBean to play against bottom of the VFL Bendigo, kick 10, and then see you boys really melt down ;)

Prefer 10 against GWS Myself.:D
 
The new cult figure at the club - Andy Collins, eat your heart out.

Any reports on how he goes in the wet towel stakes?

In fairness, they are still a realistic chance given Port have Geel and Freo away (+GC) in the next 3 weeks. Carlton have us, WB and a broken Bombers. Game against Port in Rd 23 could be huge and might come down to %. Would love to see them miss on %.
 
HA, he would have copped a hefty fine for that photo. Terrible.

Kids a gun though, has container loads of talent. Lovely guy to boot.

If he plays this year we still have all these things to look forward to in the ore season. As for what number he wears, I say strip Astbury of number 12 and hand it over to the Bean. Nothing against Astbury but the number 12 should be used for cult heroes. Astbury is no cult hero.

Can see it now. First bounce Maric taps it Cothchin who slides a handball out to Martin. Martin kicks deep into our fifty, MCBEAN! Pack mark plays on snaps through for goal.

**** Yeah :cool:
