LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.
2012 Bloods Premiers. -
I was secretary at his junior club and he played ruck at 14 because he towered over the rest. Alas like many boys he stopped growing but in the Under 16's GF he played CHB and was BOG. He is a left footer and has a big turning circle, and for the life of me I have no idea why both the Eastern Ranges and Melbourne tried to make him a lead up forward. He is a straight ahead player and would be a handy defensive back up.I've always had an interest in Bate after seeing him carve some team up on tv a while ago.
Was he caught up in the alleged 'lets lose a few games' period? May have affected his form at Melbourne if that was the case.
Still only young and maybe worth a good look. And he's a ranga!Comment

Am I correct in noticing only one delisted player has been picked up so far, Geelong rookie Simpkin by Hawthorn. No others is there?
This year really is a strange drafting period. I notice Emma Quayle's article suggests the ND may be all done by pick 70, a little earlier than usual and we may have some of the very last picks this year.Comment

So with Cunningham that gives us 33 on the senior list right? Hold a spot for Tippett? Maybe advise him to go in ND then at least we'll know earlier how many picks we'll have.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Worth a late pick I think.Comment

Not sure about Reimers. Sounds as if he'd be competing with McGlynn and Morton, and I wouldn't like his chances.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

I agree with you. I haven't followed Bate's career enough to know why he didn't make it at Melbourne, but always thought he had a well rounded game. He's the only FA I think is worth considering, and agree that he could blossom at the right club. Has a realistic chance to challenge for best 22. But we probably can't take any FA if we think we have a shot at Tippett due to salary cap concerns.Comment
