Am hardly a prude but I will watch the comments on this guy with interest. Could be the next Maric and I don't mean Ivan

I saw him for a while in an exhibition match back at the start of feb, but i also remember McGwog rucking quite a bit of that

Last week I recall seeing Maric and Derickx but not sure if I saw Roy Orbison

sorry mate, short memory and a stuffed one at that

Just getting used to the team.  Thought his game was very good.  I must admit, he surprised me.  I thought he was a spud of the highest order but he has made me rethink about this so the jury is now officially out!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Didn't play against Melbourne or North that night. Which games are you referring too?

Already 30 years old....... Not getting excited about him that's for sure.

Only a rookie so no big deal, but if Maric goes down then he's there.

I wouldn't put him on the list unless Maric goes down.

Has a role in this team, but only if maric/vickery goes down.
Won't be elevated for any reason other than to ruck. There's enough big guys in the fwd/back so he won't be elevated to play there IMO.
I was impressed with his ruck work against the bummers though. Is way ahead of dericx in terms of skill.
Is not a bad player to have in terms of ruck depth.

Who cares how old he is?
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Big O boost for Tigers
By richmondfc.com.au
Thursday, March 7, 2013



“I think the biggest thing a ruckman can do is lay a platform,” Stephenson said on this week’s episode of the Club’s official podcast, “Talking Tigers”.

“I was pretty disappointed coming out of Alice Springs (where Richmond played the Indigenous All Stars in early February) because I wasn’t competitive enough in the first half.

“You don’t have to be a superstar, just set a tone for the midfield group and put your body where it needs to be, in the way.

“It’s pretty basic sort of footy, and it doesn’t have to be anything too special.”
