Angus is 21yrs 5months.
Not saying he's going to make it, but we need to give him some opportunity.
People keep saying to draft a couple of ruckmen late or rookie them. Well its obvious they take more time to develop, now the judges are out (could be right) and saying to get rid of him.
Thesee posters need to find a bit of consistency.
Its called player development.

I agree. Angus has shown something. Probably wont ever be a dominant ruckman but how many dominant ruckmen in the league actually are there? He's a big lug and needs more time to develop as all tall players do. No point putting the time into them and a couple of years before you expect them to really start producing, offload them (unless they're truly Lounder like).

Yep. Graham just needs time. I remember early this year everyone was bagging moore as a dud.

Your dreaming if you think Graham will ever make it.

How can you be so certain? How many ruckmen looked like a sure thing at 21? Very few. He may not make it, but why let him go now. The next two years will give a better indication of his worth.
 
Duds. Remember Justine Madden, at Gus's age he struggled to put one foot after the other,he was diabolical. Finished up not too bad iirc. Now if Gus is percevered with he may turn out ok. Maybe not in the same league as Madden, but more than servicable.
