Ben McEvoy
McEvoy a Saint. Pick no.9
Ben McEvoy � Murray Bushrangers, Vic, 200.2cm, 94.6kg, 11/7/89
Honours
NAB AFL All-Australian Under-18 Team 2007
Vic Country representative - 2007 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships
AIS-AFL Academy graduate
Comments by Alan McConnell, AIS-AFL Academy High Performance Coach:
"Ben has played both key position, predominantly as a forward, and ruck,"
"He spent far more time forward this year as a result of young Dawson Simpson, who's more of a ruckman than he is a forward, being at the Bushrangers as well.
"He's had the chance to play more key position roles than he might have in other circumstances or with other teams. I think that has been good for his development because it's forced him to play one-on-one football a bit more than some of the other ruckmen at TAC Cup level.
"He is a genuine leader, a very driven country boy from off the farm, so there will be some challenges for him living a city lifestyle, but I'm sure he'll cope with that extremely well because he's such a focussed young man.
"His agility and speed will need to be developed, but based on the testing we had on him during his Academy year, which was two years ago now, I think there's a fair upside with regard to his core stability which will mean he's able to hold his ground and improve his running technique significantly.�

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Sounds like you would have preferred picking up Cochin at no.1 instead of Kruzer for the club you support Roo&Kosi... Chin up mate...RooandKosi wrote:9 - quality KPP
42 - Simpson ruckman wouldve been available as agood as mcevoy as a ruckman
57 - quick Midfielder
70 - gehrig
BUT NO

IF !!!! Ben reads this site I urge him NOT to take any notice of negative "supporters" .True Sainters are loyal and enthusiastic and will welcome him into the fold.
To Rooand Kosi you're a DISGRACE. Not just for your total unwillingness to even give this 18 year old a FAIR GO but for using 2 Champions, loyal to the club as your pseudonym. : :
GO BEN & GO SAINTERS 2008
