Massive unit.

Considering our need for ruckmen who are ready go while Browne still develops and he shows speed for a ruckman and is well built it's an okay speculative pick. Also appears to be a bit of a mean machine which never hurts and playing in state leagues til now wouldn't have been bashed up as much.

Will be interesting.
 
skeptical pic... 24 in december..
Saves having to wait 5 years until he develops physically. This is why ruckman (unless they are freaks) should be taken late and not early, both in the draft and in age.
Smart move.

Looking at the video, moves pretty well for a 200cm 100kg man I must say. Physically ready to go, at the very least will create competition for ruck spots with Gus the only physically ready number 1 ruck. Might make him work that little bit harder.

If he can have an impact, even only for a couple of years, will be good value at 63.
 
Love the look of Big Dekka - left handed tap ruckman, agile (good below the knees)...beast...MAN MOUNTAIN....

Rusty will be jizzing over Big Dekka:D
 
good pick, fills a list need and as has already been mentioned, this is around the time you should look at most ruckmen.
 
I think this selection definitely fills a need considering Vickery is moving forward. We will see how good he is next year given his age.

SEN said he is also a ruck/forward who has fantastic defence and second efforts (same as Vickery) and he will be great for the new rule. Sounds like a good pick up.

I have no idea why but I actually laughed out loud when I read "Big Dekka."
 
Really ahppy with this pick! got told about rd 8 - 9 that he was on a few clubs radar and really hoped we'd snare him as a rookie! he's a unit and will play AFL footy in 2011 ive got no doubt!

Unfortunatly big Andrew Browne will get pushed back down the rungs!
