Prediction Will Minson

[THATSGOLD]

Seems like he will be added to the list possibly as a rookie to mentor Grundy and Cox. With Witts gone we need some backup and he might even surprise if he gets a game.

Sauce? That he was sighted at the Holden Centre is already known.

Sam Landsberger has an article in the H.S.

Does the link work?

He is the only DFA that is worth picking up. I hope we get him, the hard part will be convincing Minson to sign on as a number 2 ruckman who will spend the majority of the year in the VFL.

I think he will sign though, look at Ben Hudson he retired and came back to play with us and even got some senior game time. It's a good way to prolong a ruckmans career and who knows Grundy could lose form or could go down early and Minson might end up being the number one ruckman.

Alternatively, if we're the only real suitor for him, he might just be content with a final year or two to top-up his super in the reserves.

Good first step into a career after his playing time is done, if he wanted to coach

 

[jmac70]

I wouldn't mind seeing Minson in black & white. We need a viable fallback in the event of injury.

****en lol, you watch much footy mate? he's a spud who think's he a hell of a lot more intelligent and cultured than he is

 

[doodles98]

Makes sense if he's just worst case backup. But if Grundy gets injured I hope we will be playing Cox as our ruckman ahead of Minson. Cox needs to be developed as a ruckman primarily and don't want to see Minson holding him back when the chance arises to give him games in the role.

 

[Brad Goodman]

If he's happy to know that he will only play if Grundy is injured or needs rest then I'm happy to have him.

Shit bloke. Do not want.

There is apparently a shortage of "nice bloke" experienced AFL ruckmen available to us. Perhaps the situation demands we change our "nice blokes only" recruitment policy just this once.

This! I remember hoping that we would recruit Martin Pike when Fitzroy folded and we didn't. He is also a shit bloke, but a 4 time premiership player.

 

[whiskeytown]

Been saying this for a while. Perfect back up to Grundy. Is experienced, durable and is still playing decent footy in the VFL.

I think Cox is more forward/ruck.... taking the role White has now. Whether Minsons a boy scout or not is irrelevant... so long as he performs his role and doesn't destabilise the team.

 

[Mortslah]

10/10 do not want, spud of the highest degree.

shit, I'd rather petrie then minson.

 

[P1ET1ME]

Dont see any problem with this happening. Good insurance.

 

[THATSGOLD]

You will change your mind when we recruit him. He will be a gun then.

 

[BEEG]

Who cares if he is a shit bloke, wouldn't be any club that doesn't have a couple, Grundy is still maturing he needs support, I don't want Collingwood pushing him through injuries like we did Fraser.

Minson as a back up is perfect for the position the club is in.

Rockliff is a campaigner, I bet the people in this thread who don't want Minson wanted to recruit Rocky.

It goes beyond not being 'nice'. I hate Cornes, but as a parent of young children myself I can't condone recruiting an oxygen thief like Minson.

No he won't. What are you, 12?

Not me. Wouldn't want Rockliff near our kids, he's a major part of the problem at Brisbane. Why do you think they were so eagerly shopping him around with no suitors this year, despite him being a gun player?

Rumour is that we rookie list him so being a DFA is irrelevant I'd assume

Will be a good pick up as Ben Hudson was.

So you'd rather have a team of nice guys rather than a premiership team?
