You know what brings a tear to my eye?  cutting onions. Or .. when I have been cutting up chilli and I forget and rub my eyes, that will do it too.

Try taking a leak after cutting chilli, that'll get the tear ducts working

lol, been there done that :lol...wasnt funny at the time, just about needed the damn fire hose
To make matters worse I was sprung by my 10 year old son trying to wash the affected parts in a wash basin :o Oh well...... he takes great joy retelling that story at family get togethers ;D BTW it didn't put me off chilli's...I have over 30 plants growing in my backyard....I can't get enough of it.

He may well be the type to take advantage of the evolving ruck and interchange rules though ;)

The most important talent a player of this height must have is the ability to take a grab. There is no benefit being in the stratosphere if you cannot consistently pluck the ball out of the air.
If he can't do that he won't make it IMHO!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Saw some highlights of him taking a few good grabs. I know they are just highlights but they show the ability is there

Super talented and can take a grab. Was rated ahead of Daniher @ Aberfeldie until about 12-18 months ago.

Problem is that during his late junior career he was effectively left to play where and how he liked. As such, his game has evolved to be very 'outside'. Avoids contact in the ruck and other positions. Also has never been committed to putting on muscle.

That's what Richmond are focusing on in his development.

He may find that football at the elite level is not for him when he has to curb his natural game and play a more physical and accountable style, however if he can adapt to this he has all the talent in the world to make it.

Pretty sure I already replied to this but I will go again anyway. Where did you steal this from, PRE or BF? You wouldn't have a clue about McBean
