He played a few games last year but wasn’t a regular. Assume his kicking was too big an issue. Think he is back playing footy in the Geelong Footy League this year.
With Francis now out, another tall forward is going to be required. I would like to see what Bowman can do as a forward. From all reports he is too small to be a #1 ruckman at afl level but possibly could be a forward/relief ruckman in the McKernan mould. So far we have not played him as a forward for some reason.
Sorry DJR, but I hope Mozzie’s a late withdrawal and they put him in cotton wool and debut him next week in the ones. Just get him cherry ripe and unleash him against the Bloods.
