Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
He'll be our best pick up ever
Was that last minute bump on him high?
We need a second ruck who can contribute asap so we don't break him.
The fact he has only played 20 odd games is the most exciting thing for me. Hopefully stays fit and becomes a 200+ gamer for the club

Hes a juvenile in ruck terms.He obviously showed all the signs mentioned above at Sydney both on track and Neafl but none of it has translated to Afl yet.Therein lies the problem or uncertainty. Theres been nothing to suggest he wont at some stage make a good Afl ruckman but I think we have to be patient. We recruited a developing ruckman who likely will take time. But like everyone thinks it would be great if he came on in leaps and bounds and replaced Hampson.Unfortunately at AFL level to date he is still behind Hampson. At the moment the only area that has been acceptable at the level is his aggression and work with out the ball.All this = been there done that and what is of real concern is that from what little birdies have whispered to me, his selection was basically an afterthought of WTF lets do it type poo. If he works out it will be a bonus, but lets for once learn that for them to develop into good to top ruckman they need a base of some kind of skill that shows out from day one...havent we been down the same path a trillion times, affordeing the same excuse to the likes of Steinfort, Biurton, Eastaugh, Browne Gus, Esler, Putt etc....where we have waitied a decade for what was never going to happen to happen?I have real concerns about this selection and from the info i have received re. his ability in most aspects outside this aggression is very limited and in fact ZERO...Why we allowed FJ to continue to be a part of recruiting is a complete mystery to me. The Hampson charade is a pure desperate attempt to make right what every man and his dog knows was wrong with what we coughed up for him and this extension of 2 years for that he has provided us is complete and utter stupidity by a desperate regime wanting to delay the inevitable in the hope that the punters forget what they gave up for him and the other player we swooped on from the tankers for the same price. Its there for all to see how desperate we are, when other teams arr building a list, we are resigning Ivvy who can harldy walk...like get real FFSToby has a lot more tricks in his bag other than aggression.A lot more tricks in his bag as I said.Will become a crowd favourite. Bookmark it.

FJ is the only one that makes sense.
No you didn't.
