Pretty much. From where I sit they're all kids that I want to do very well so I can be proud of them.
But it's ok mutton, at least you've had a few correct calls mixed in with your premature exaltations. Others aren't as fortunate

I want him to get 3-4 games no matter what.
But I also think he will be a star.
No hedging here.
I don't think he'll be anywhere near a star - a star.... laughable. In this case I think selectors have got him right. Our seasons shot anyway so I'd like them to just give him 5 games so the minority can wake up to him not being up to it. Then sit back and again hear they're winging and carry on again as to the many reasons he was not given a go.

Is pretty simple.
He will be a gun if he's given an opportunity. That means a handful of games in a row to show what he has. Simple logic and prior experience of talented talls suggests he will need that.
Just asking for reason from the selection panel.
Which is way way way too much to ask.
It's not really a surprise. When he wasn't picked against Essendon it was hard to see where the next game was coming from.

The fact McBean hasn't been given an opportunity, does not mean Lamb, or anyone else, has been wrong about anything. If he was given a half dozen games and went bad, well maybe a different story.
I watched Jay Schulz run around for Coburg as captain kickless, bereft of opportunity, carp delivery, and zero confidence.
I share Lamb's opinion on this bloke, and going by the current situation with this Richmond playing group and their poor results, wear it as a badge of honour that I am currently at odds with this Richmond selection panel.
The reality, as you say, is that he is not being picked, but that is no shame to McBean supporters. I still think he is a damn good player in a carp 2's team and wish they would pick him and drop Vickery.

So you are happy to continue on with the couple tall peahearts Handbrake and Co keep selecting, or would you rather
see what our other tall's can provide before you brand them as peahearts?
Might be a chance to replace Griffiths still.
I just don't get the reluctance to play him. The players picked ahead of him aren't any better.
Just play him for a string of 5-10 games (like they have with Menadue) and lets see what he's got? Can't hurt anyone. We're already *smile*.

At least Vickery and Griff are mediocre at AFL level. I see no sense in replacing them with someone who is mediocre at VFL level, no matter how many of his relatives get on PRE and sprook his values!hutstar said:
A spot is there for someone who really wants it. What a pity nobody seems to want it badly enough.
As silly as it sounds I don't think he is the Vickery Griffith type of key forward, I jus t think his a very unique type of player who's tricks could possibly work well beside a player like Jack.....doesn't look like his going too make it either wayBroders said:

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Mcbean is a late change for Griff given Griffs injury history
