In 5 years time Ben McEvoy will be...

[PJ]

5 years older

[Con Gorozidis]

Ben is 95kg at 200cm...Kosi 96kg at 197cm

Hille....109
Ottens.......106
Mumford.....108
Sandilands.....120
Jolly......104
Gardiner......103
I could go on

Point is most afl ruckmen.....outside of the great athletes.....are around 105kg.....

Ben, like tyrone vickery is notheavy enough to hold his ground one on one.

point well made. if hes 10kg underweight its hard yakka doing tap work. then give him 2-3 years and hes going to be a friggin gun.

[meher baba]

I've got a spare 10kg to which he is most welcome...

[spert]

So obviously Ben needs to get fat

[desertsaint]

ben needs to get better...much better.

[bobmurray]

Imagine Ben trying to leap carrying an extra 10 kilos,he'll need a mini trampoline.....

[BigMart]

Or if that ten kg was contracting working muscle, it might, help him get his 200cm off the ground....

Not all weight is fat....

Again, delicate balance between weight and speed to find optimum....

My suggestin......be still has some growing to do...

1. 26 years old
2. On the verge of the prime years in his footy career - ruckmen develop later than others
3. In the leadership group at St Kilda, and
4. Be Captain of St Kilda

This guy is a born leader and below the current leadership group is the next apparent leader.

For those whacking Macca left, right and centre, HE IS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD!!!!!

GIVE THE GUY A BREAK!!!

You almost had me until 4 although the way things are looking in 5 years time?

[BakersChest]

Macca has a lot to offer up forward. Bit slow on the lead but has an excellent use of body and great hands.

I think Dean Cox when I see him. Mobile around the ground and building up his ability in the ruck. He is going to be a good player and does some special things under pressure. He is nearly the guy you would want kicking at goal after the siren now, by then he should have become at least deserving of our first ruck spot.

All the bitches that don't see anything to work with need to remember our recycling of rucks- Ackland. Matt Clark. Brooks. Monky at 40. Capuano. Our only decent rucks were an injury plagued Gardiner and King ,Everitt and Vidovic in the last 15 years. Everyone says we would have won a premiership with Judd but we tried for Cox and I think he could have grabbed us one before Juddy.
