Olarenshaw...

[Anton Grbac]

This is not a p*sstake.
I'm interested in how he's going fitness wise and whether you guys reckon he's worth the very big punt you've taken on him.

where's wally?

 

[CHF]

He will defintely play some games if he stays injury free, which he looks like doing.

He's not a big put anway because he cost us next to nothing.
Our 46 pick for him and pies 48 pick.

 

[choppy]

Wasn't he a compulsary acquisition because of some draft rule???

Either way he will only be a fill in player at best. I'm not sure where he can be of great value to the side, his not a goal sneak, doesn't have the stamina to play in the centre, down back? I dont think so.

He comes across as a quality individual and clubman and I hope he does well, but...

Interesting to read in today's Age that the Roos have ask the AFL if Ricky and Lindsay (I think) can play in this Friday's MK's practice match - for match practice.

 

[Shinboners]

The key is "injury free" isn't it? I was pretty impressed by his efforts vs Freo...if you check the thread here about his goal creating effort from the back line, you'll find that plenty of us want him to do well.

 

[The invisible mullet]

I'll madly tip Olarenshaw as a Round 1 starter. Well it's not that mad with the players that are out.

Good call Shiner, I think alot of people have forgotten how useful he was at the Bummers.

If he can stay fit and rekindle some of that spark, he maybe very handy...(I hope).

If anyone wants to know what Ricky O looks like in a North jumper,he's in the INSIDE FOOTBALL magazine this week.

I'm sure SPIDEY will get her rocks off

So tell us Bob, how useful was he ?
(He has managed 85 games in 8 years.)
He can't play in the backline, he certainly can't play key position, and he can't play in the centre. Is he a better forward than, say, Grant or Winnie ? Of course not.
His "game" against Freo was a shocker.

sPiDeR eVeRiTt and RiCkY oLaReNsHaW
~kewlest players round!!!

I thought Ricky played very well against Freo (I was sitting near his flank). He could easily fit in as a half back flanker (or back pocket) - he also looks like he's prepared to go in hard and get the ball.

i.e. I'm sick of people rubbishing him, give the guy a break

As Sir Denis said "he's come from a long way back and he's only going to get better with every game he plays"

All of his 85 games shockers were they?

Yeah your right lets write him off, after all Dennis does have a nasty habit of picking up crabs from other clubs and doing nothing with them doesn't he?

PS. Are Winnie and Grant original Roos? - think about it and give him a chance first mate!!
