Yep get the big fella in. He will play well in the VFL, mentor Grundy and Cox and be ready to roll in the AFL if need be. It's be interesting if he comes in to see who does better out of him and Trav...

Speak of the devil;

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/collingwood-considering-drafting-veteran-big-man-will-minson-to-help-mentor-young-rucks/news-story/8167b4672aa63596ec27a83b286edec9

I'd take him as a rookie listed back up ruck. He could then also be our ruck coach, helping Brodie, Mason and co develop their ruck skills.

He's a funny bugger too, very intelligent but prone to absolute moments of white line fever on field.

Welcome big Will.

191 games and 31yrs old and I would certainly try
to get him if I were Dekka.

Ben Hudson was well known for the niggle... not so much of the vile things Minson has been accused of saying, but all the same, Huddo was a great mentor!

Why not, cant hurt, Grundy goes down, perish the thought, we have Cox and big Milson, not a bad idea at all.

Rookie pick would be the most we should give up. Purely back up only!
