when i look at mcbean i see more a zac clarke than a ivan maric.
in all seriousness i can see him being nothing more than a kpp which is okay by me but it wont help our ruck stocks, which is why we took him with a second rnd pick.
in fact im almost tempted to pencil him in as kpd now but that would be unfair on both the player and the club.

McBean joins Tigers .... (Moonee Valley Leader)

McBean joins Tigers

    Patrick Lane
    From: Moonee Valley Leader
    November 29, 2012


The 203cm St Bernard's College graduate knew he'd land somewhere, but just what colours he'd be sporting by night's end was a mystery to him.

The first round came and went and McBean, his heart racing, was none the wiser.

But when Richmond was called to the microphone McBean didn't need to wait for his name, the numerical identification was all it took to send a loungeroom of family and friends into a spin.

McBean, of Aberfeldie, would be joining great mate and former Calder Cannons player Brandon Ellis at his beloved Tigers.

"I'm absolutely rapt. It still hasn't set in," McBean said hours after the draft.

"When Richmond's pick came (pick 33) along I'd memorised my ID and as soon as the last three numbers were read out everyone just jumped up and down.

"I started crying. I really couldn't believe it."

A member of the yellow-and-black army long before he was touted a future Tiger, McBean is well equipped to spin a yarn on Richmond's hopes, not just as a fan but as a player.

"They're on the up," he said. "I'm stoked to be joining such a good environment and I've been a Richmond fan since the day I was born.

"Next year will be a very exciting year for the club. After some of the results they've posted this year we are certainly on the up.

"I've been very excited about the direction they're taking for a long time and I'm just stoked to be a part of it."

Richmond recruiting manager Francis Jackson toed a similar line, telling the club's media unit McBean had the attributes to take the game by the scruff of the neck.

"He is a highly rated young developing ruckman who has also been a member of the AIS-AFL Academy in 2011 and 2012," he said.

"Liam's strengths are his abilities to read the flow of the game and get to many contests with his running ability."

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

Well if he does turn out a decent player at lease we will have a 90% chance of keeping him..

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.

Chilli makes me chuck until I've got nothing left to throw up but stomach lining....capsicum has that effect too.
