Will Minson

[CROW36]

Hi guys I know we should have gone all out last year to try and lure a mature age ruckman, but unfortunately Craigy dosen't like to trade. I was doing some thinking and realized that Minson looks out of favour with the Bulldogs and, before everyone jumps down my throat I know he can be undisciplined and give away some frees at time, he is built like a country sh*** house, his weight is 106 kg and 199cm in height and has played 95 games and is 25 years old.The question is could Craig do anything with a guy like this or just forget him and be patient and wait until our guys mature a bit more remembering that there ain't many mature ruckman going around and they do take awhile to be at there prime........ comments please.

 

[SydCrow]

interesting call

that would certainly give us the angriest ruck combo going around

 

[WALL-e]

He's a tosser version of Maric.

Don't believe it's an upgrade.

 

[FootscrayDogs]

Please, Please take him, for free even, just take him away, far far away from the Whitten Oval

 

[dplggr47]

we already have Sellar, as secondary ruck, who can play in the backlines as well.

 

[Alex99]

He hates the Adelaide Crows and has said in the past he would never play for us. And that was not like Scott Thompson who said it as a 17 year old; Minson said it as a mature adult.

 

[Crow-mo]

Minson's not going anywhere.

 

[charcoalchicken]

He's a decent player but he is 95 senior AFL games in and still shows little football knowledge, doubt he'd be leaving (if that ever happens) for at least another year as we are still developing Roughead (though I'm pretty sure he'll be playing this season) and Cordy but if you still want him in a years time by all means take him off our hands.

Actually I just realized Hudson is in his 30's so I doubt Minson will be going anywhere.

 

[Allbetsroff]

I don't want that dirty coward wimpson anywhere near the Crows.

Perfectly happy for him to try and shove around blokes half his size for the Bulldogs instead.

Would rather no ruck then Minson....

There must be some mature age ruckman in the WANFL, SANFL etc that have shown a bit of talent but for one reason or another have not been selected but I would rather take a shot at one of them then Minson.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

No thanks but I wouldn't mind that Hudson guy. He would be handy right about now.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

no thanks, even his own team mates dont like him

 

[aneale]

i'd go for Angus Kurtze out at Sturt before Minson

why? Minson was one the elite tap ruckman in the comp last year.

 

[Paladin]

Hugh Minson would be more useful than Will. Have you seen him play?

 

[WALL-e]

He'd be handy for trash talk during a showdown, though I wouldn't condone having a crack at players sick kids myself.

 

[Pariah]

If we didn't have to give up any thing good for him maybe. Sometimes a player like Will Minson needs a new club to kick start their career like what happend to Seaby. I also wouldn't mind Sam Jacobs and it wouldn't cost much to get him. Both those ruck options have got to be better than Jonathan Griffin.

 

[crowsarethebest]

Unfortunately Will hasn't really kicked on from his early promise. He looks lost on the field even after 95 games. Doubt he'll ever be much of a player, just lacks the smarts to be an effective long term AFL ruck.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Saw this guy play in person last week.

He has absolutely no idea of what he's supposed to be doing on that field, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to pull it off.

It's funny you say that because apparently he is a qualified engineer but the decisions me makes on the footy field makes him look stupid. So much so, Rocket labelled him as "the smartest dumbest man I know".

Unfortunately, or fortunately for some, brains can be a bit of a hinderance on a footy field, you tend to over think everything, instead of just following instinct.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I don't mind Shaun Hampson if we're looking to pick up a ruckman in the off season and the Blues are pretty well stocked at the moment. Though he may be on his way to the Gold Coast.

Agree

 

[noddy]

Should have made a play for Mark Jamar last year while he was having thoughts of a move.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Maric + Moran worked ok last year. Let Maric, Moran and Sellar develop. Everyone knows not many rucks blow the game apart from their first season.
