Re: Welcome Liam McBean at pick 33
I suspect that after his season in defence last year getting some much needed game time (even when there was not a suitable match-up), and with the recruiting of Chaplin, Griffiths will be used as a goal-kicking target up forward in 2013.

Glad we picked up a ruckman seeing as we didn't draft Grundy.
He has time to develop while Ivan and Vickery are playing.

I like it - Jelly and redefining the game. It does seem to me like we are placing a premium on versatility, which has gotta be a good thing. I am rapt we got Jelly McBean. Even though he might not be a ruckman yet, hes tall enough and I love having a collection of ruckmen.

Watched this kids hilgihts on the RFC site.
He is very agile for such a big bloke, and a really effective kick.
Looks good, but body is a worry. Skinny isn't the word.
Hope he can add some bones.
FWIW, reckon we have a tall KPD in this kid, not a true ruck.

A second ruck perhaps but you're pretty much on the money.

His frame is quite good actually. Just needs to add some quads and triceps in order to beef up.

South Australian ruckman Brodie Grundy is considered the best big man in this year's crop, but Kevin Sheehan has also nominated Calder Cannons ruckman Liam McBean.
McBean, more than 200cm tall but lightly framed, played mainly as a key defender for Vic Metro at this year's NAB AFL Under-18 championships.
"His agility for a 203cm [player] is rare, which allows him to win ground balls to complement his overhead marking," Sheehan said

The author forgot to mention that McBean is Sheehan's token AIS ruckman, or should I say prospective ruckman.

Re: Welcome Liam McBean at pick 33
Going to take a while for the kid to scrounge a kilo or two of bulk, probably similar to young Cordy from the Doggies.
New ruck rules means the old behemoths will follow the dinosaurs.
Tall mobile spring heeled ruckmen who can tip off like basketballers then actually play footy are back in vogue.

Putt could put on any muscle because TW didn't know what a dumbbell looked like. Our footy department will bulk him up inside of 2 years.
