I'm surprised at the player change in categorisation 4 days before the SuperCoach season starts, but I'm more surprised that Blicav beat Naitanui as the first MID/RUCK ever!
Note: Cannot be Floating Donut as no partner!!? LOL
These comments are off the cuff, but I think Blicav is the fourth in line for the ruck and apparently was an elite athlete even before he tried out AFL. Heard of the radio this morning that Bartel is amazed by this transformation to the AFL.

Does anyone have a R4 that is likely to get games? Blicav's a contender for my R4 position as much as anyone else. Currie, Rowe & Daw are likely to play limited games. I can't find the article, but I recall reading how Chris Scott said there's never been a big man in AFL that can run like Blicav. NicNat is a freak, but maybe Blicav's extra run around the ground could see him play a similar role and play as both ruck and midfielder at the same time? With the ball being thrown up around the ground at stoppages, Blicav should be able to get to more of them.
Am interested to get opinions of Cats fan in particular who are more likely to have seen him play.

Haha i had been wondering all pre season why a 198cm player who is a FWD/RUC was named as a midfielder great to see SC fixed it. I think he will score pretty well when he plays and Scott is a huge fan of the guy but once Vardy, McIntosh and West are in the side their will be no room for him you would think
Have to disagree. The cats will need to play Blicavs as much as they can afford to. If they are travelling well they will play him - as Chris Scott says: even when the big guys come back. Why? Because the cats are a good chance to play finals. What if they get to the finals and once again have Macintosh, West, Vardy and Simpson all injured? It's a very likely possibility. Their only fallback position is Blicavs and Walker and they won't even have that if they don't play those guys through the year - especially Blicavs.
I think the only things that will stop Geelong from playing Blicavs a fair amount are if Geelong lose some early games or if Blicavs' form wanes rapidly. Given his athletic background, that seems unlikely.
