Something wrong with those stats. How the hell can Bo have 68 hit outs during a game n the Ballarat boys have about 35? Over 100 ruck contests, what was it wrestlemania all day?

113 hitouts. Not possible? Rich-Haw there were 94. VFL is usually a more scrappy affair.
 
Just watched roar vision.

Hes no where near as skinny as I was expecting, reading this thread.

Looks like he has the size to me, to be able to play AFL.

Like someone said Dustin Fletcher is just as skinny.

We shouldn't go fiddling with our team, just for the sake of giving him a game, but if hes the best option then, I see no problem with him playing.

Was listening to RSN this morning with mick McGuane and Mick Christian. At the end of an interview with B. Ellis, McGuane went on to mention a very impressive 18 yo called Liam McBean. Said he could be a finals dark horse and kid still a bit skinny but spoke very highly of him, looks like the secret is out.
Mick McGuane would have seen him play for Aberfeldie in the EDFL as he is coach of Keilor. So it is more that anyone who has seen him play knows of his potential rather than the secret getting out. The best part is that Lean is flying under the radar due to Daniher's name. Lean and Daniher played school footy together with Lean being the skipper and these two also playing junior footy at Aberfeldie.

Kid looks the goods on field and nous upstairs. A taster against GWS may be a goer but if he had to wait until 2014 it's not a bad thing imo.

Give him the Number 17 next year.
Oi!
Gerroff, that's Flossy's new jumper. Beanie has to at least earn a yellow n black jumper before we give him a real one.
 
According to footy wire he has No 34

Interestingly Gideon Simon has No 0 according to those guys.

Lean might like 7 I reckon as 34 (3+4=7) is the closest he can get right now.
 
Tucky may be retiring soon,perhaps we could give the Beanie, Balmey's 21. Not sure he'd get the hard man rep but he'd go all right as a forward / ruckman.
 
Please guys, it's 17. The first time LD and i have agreed on something footywise means it must be right, the truth, the way it was meant to be, the answer to life itself.

Or he's finally coming to his senses..
 
I can image Anthony Hudson calling a game with McBean in it the same manner he called Buddys famous 13 goal call.

Instead of 'thirteen, thirteeeeeeen!', it'll be 'McBean, McBeaaaaaaan!'

Or you're both wrong.

Don't know if Tuck will be retiring.
If he's anything like his old man there's another 10 years left in him.

There would not be a single Richmond player on the list today considering retirement given where we are at in our development cycle - one would think, anyway.
