Bianco is 182 and Poulter 193cm. The former may be more a Noble replacement, whilst Poulter potentially a better winger.
Noble is possibly the fastest player on our list and Bianco amongst the slowest, however.

What a rabble. Surely Rutten wouldn't stay if he has any self respect for himself, after how the Essendoom board tried to shaft him....
If he walks, he don’t get paid. If he stays, he has a chance to turn it around, most likely stay sh1t.

I hope he gets a year off on Essendon, fully funded.

I thought the mail was that he's useless 1-on-1 but a good intercept mark.

I would say needs development 1-on-1 but has scope to add more size without sacrificing mobility.

Useless defending on the lead. Will need other players taking up leading space, and putting pressure on in midfield.

Very good intercepting mark and user.
 
If Taranto is off to Richmond.....then we should hit the draft and bank cash we save in the Grundy scenario
Offloading Grundy and hitting the draft with another 2 first rounders (one from Grundy and one from our own)----keep JDG obviously---and bringing in McStay and Hill who are needs areas for us for little give up in draft capital is balancing out the list nicely.

I'm certain we will have more opportunities for guys like Macrae and Reef next season too for on ball roles
Carmichaell too after what would be his first pre-season

We also have 3x picks in the 40s too we can move up the draft board with too for a club that needs points for any academy and or father son product.
 
Remember, the media (and Kevin Bartlett) reported Richmond were Treloar’s club of choice, then a week later he requested a trade to the Pies.

There is still plenty to play out, so Richmond fans declaring Taranto is a done deal might want to keep quiet for now.

Well if all that is required is training, maybe we should train McMahon to play the Harris Andrews role, Tyler Brown to play the Bontempelli role and Begg to play the Luke Jackson role while we’re at it?
Not apples with apples. Poulter has height and has shown some forward ability. T. Brown is not a Bont, Begg is too skinny to be a Jackson and McMahon still plays like a newbie defender but is showing something. McMahon spent most of his childhood modelling his game off Jack Gunston, too, so it's all new for him down back.
 
A vanilla rake could be trained. He's played a lot of midfield, but maybe it's time for a stint as a key.

To become dynamic and athletic? That's a bit of an ask. Key forwards need certain physical characteristics besides being over 190cm and I haven't seen them from Caleb. I say that as one of his biggest advocates here.

And this might sound like a leftfield thing to say, but Caleb isn't actually that tall at the shoulders. He has an extraordinarily long neck, which is of bugger all benefit in a marking contest. He does have long arms, which offsets that. See the pic with his landlord Crispy below.

I keenly hope he makes but I can't see it being as a key forward. Would love to be proven wrong.
