I’ve said it before but I think his best bet as an AFL player would be as either a lock down defender or tagger, neither of which Richmond do so…..

Certainly has the application to be a tagger - however thinks he needs to be able to play taller as they - like Bont - will just take him forward- think Crowley, Ling etc they could play tall
 
Doesn't get enough of the ball. The new Castagna minus the goals.

He was ok as a lockdown defender but the weakness was his offensive game.

I'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea to play him forward on that basis but anyway.

I like the kid's endevour but he's a finge player.

Not his fault he gets picked
Have no idea what MC see in him he’s at best just a battler not AFL standard
 
4 kicks 1HB zero goals zero behinds No tackles
Another great game need to extend his contract he’s the future :rolleyes:
 
Only possible role going forward is as a tagger, but not sure he could even do that. Nothing footballer really - hasn’t developed from when he arrived.

Good to keep for our VFL side. Nothing more. The fact he has played the amount of games he has this year in an indictment on our list
 
I agree he's fringe player at best but those quoting stats, he did only play 27% of the game. We preferred to have Soldo forward showing his prowess.

Dimma loves the battler who’s not upto AFL standard playing in the forward line
The experiment started with Morro it was a fail then George who was good through the :cupgold:cupgold:cupgoldthen his form dropped off significantly
Enter FAarts a pure VFL footballer nothing more Dimma still persisted with it we sometimes even saw the FAarts George duo that also failed
Experiment has been so successful Not! Dimma in his wisdom finds Mansell who’s no good wants to turn this battler into an AFL footballer
Why is Dimma trying to reinvent the wheel forwards must play in the forward 50 Battlers have no place there They play in the backline or in the vfl

Go back through the pages of this thread this year it has all been said. We are not in the inner sanctum so should shut up according to some.
Well many saw Ross was being torched, and it is a safe bet Mansell is not and has never been a forward of any description at AFL level
