Hampson wouldn't last 5 minutes against the Beaninator, we need one of the Klitschko brother

Or both, they could do alternate rounds so the Beaninator could get a decent workout
 
I have only seen a few Coburg games on Tv but like whatI have seen of Liam so far. Serious question does he have the speed and tank to eventually play as a lead up CHF???

This is clearly a weakness for us and if he could eventually play this role it would be a massive win.

Be nice if he can rotate with Jack, who could be a great lead up forward, & with Shaun, Ty & Ivan being deep marking targets plus Lids, Cotch & Dusty medium sized targets Jake, Shed & our new gun quick goal kicking draft pick, we could have a potent & unpredictable forward line.
Jack can play any position up forward at different stages.

Hard to say after one season as a 19 year old. He definitely has the speed but as someone else said , so did ottens at the same stage.

Why I think he fits in now is that he plays like a 203 cm half forward rather than a marking target. He is a different player to jack or tv but who knows how he will end up.
 
Yep, all eyes on Joe Daniher and Tom Boyd, not the Great McBean.

Will raise plenty of eyebrows when he jags his debut.
 
Big wraps on him by Chocco, Leppa and Richo just to name a couple at the club. I think McBean could play next year as a lead up forward. Wouldn't mind seeing him play against Sydney as both teams will then go in with a lot of talls.
 
Over the offseason we need a "McBean-watch" from someone around the club.

What's he bench pressing? Deadlifting and Squatting? How are those burgeoning guns of his shaping up? etc

Don't know about the guns Evo, but the glutes are shaping up just fine. Ask Leysy, he will tell ya.

If McBean manages to not impale himself on a garden stake in the off season he should be right.

Hehe

Knowing Leysy's past record on the subject, he would suggest McBean is a bit heavy and probably needs to drop 4 or 5 kegs this off-season.

So whats the S+C goss for this summer, linus. Is there any danger someone is going to lift a few weights? Or are we persisting with the Titch Edwards/ Nahas builds in our forward line?
