Ha - ta. I don't know much about him just have vague memories of him being "solid". But that's pretty unequivocal.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
I've really liked the look of Lloyd Meek from Freo in his limited game time and he seems to be well back in the queue as they are only willing to play him as a ruckman. He'll get a pretty good run with Darcy out for a little while so we can see if he's really got something. Out of contract too.

Ballarat boy?
The last time we have a Ballarat born ruckman in finals we did pretty well.

Would Bevo be able to handle that nickname at airport check-ins?
I'll keep a close eye on him.

He's huge - listed as 111kgs.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
We just need a big body grinder type, like prime Stef or Nank who can chew up big minutes and neutralise the opposition #1. I haven't seen Meek at all so can't comment on him specifically but I like the sound of a 111kg behemoth.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

This is Meek in action...
"I'll give him a hug before the first bounce and then I'll run into my pack and give them orders to rip him apart."

Good call imo, Meek is worth looking at.

Looks good from that vision. I like it when big blokes grab it and hoist it forward, seems like he's pretty proficient at it.

Big mature body. Follows up on his work which is good to see. Vic boy too.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
How mobile is he? His centre bounce jumps seem pretty low for a full time ruck.
Needs to drop a few kgs?

Yeah if he's lumbering he's not going to play with us until he's not lumbering. It's just not the type of player Bevo would choose.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

From what I've seen in the PS and his couple of games earlier in the year he's pretty agile without necessarily being quick. I haven't seen him play without help so hard to say if he's doing much between stoppages but I don't think he's any worse at it than Martin and would definitely be better at it than Sweet.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
Meek looks good. So does that that ground - absolutely superb turf.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
What about Sean Darcy from Freo. Isn’t there some talk about him wanting to come back to Victoria (Geelong)?
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.
