Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

[Mr. Blonde]

Do the VFL/SANFL/WAFL watchers on this board know of any ruckman that could make a good back up if Goldy goes down? With no guarantee that we will rookie Maj, Brown only being a part time ruck and Pruess still developing, who would we bring in?

 

[benbanjo]

Now we have ZERO ruck backup

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Cannot see any other club picking him up. Will be our rookie is my guess.

Worries me that we see something that all the other clubs don't.

 

[chrissy]

We've gone from a position of strength in the ruck division to 1 injury away form showing signs of Essendoness in the ruck .

 

[Horace]

Very surprised and also very disappointed.

Oh well, good thing we still have Boomer as Goldy's back up.

Boomer's 2 career hitouts must have Goldy worried about his records.

 

[Elite Master]

The more I think about it the more I reckon it has a lot to do with the inside word on Daw's court hearing. The club must know something we don't.

He posted career high numbers against Cox and NN..... those hacks!

 

[HBFlanker]

Have a crack at Daniel Gorringe. delisted free agent.

Was a top 10 pick from memory. would come very cheap

If you can't see another club picking him up you may also suffer a form of blindness

My life recently got a massive reality check, in saying that purely from a sporting perspective I'm gutted we've done this. I just can't work it out, am putting some serious faith in our Club that they know best.

Goldie- one out ( Brown is a really shithouse ruck)

Drew- 34 Waite 33.

I am perplexed TBH.

Sad day from where I sit, sporting wise. We've come this far....

 

[rippersnipper]

Maybe we plan to draft a ruck?

 

[Marstermind]

We won't re-rookie him. Someone else will take him before then.

There is a dude called Eric Wallace recently delisted, worth a look ?

 

[TruRoos7]

Yep apparently Drew and waitey are going to play until they are boomers age. So yep get rid of any depth in both forward line and ruck.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Tippet Jr can ruck..... he was at GC as a ruckman. Since then he has added kilo's and muscle to his frame. He is our back up.

I reckon the club knows about our limited ruck stocks. Majak was tabled in trade week with zero interest for obvious reasons that have little to do with his footy ability. I'm sure the club has a plan B if someone snares him, but I think we are safe.

Gee I hope you're right.

 

[Nevbuster]

Nahas and Black must consider themselves lucky to not go ahead of Maj.

 

[ozzyoslo]

There is no doubt we badly need to bolster our ruck stocks, however can you advise what scraps of Norths we have sniffed.

Jose Romero, Tony Libbratore are two that come to mind.

 

[Groucho]

Jose Romero, Tony Libbratore are two that come to mind.

Yeah and Gary Cowton! Then they gave him that horrible perm so he had to come back for us to straighten him out ....and his hair too

 

[nelroo]

I am genuinely surprised at his delisting.
I reckon someone will do a Cameron Delaney on us again.

Oh well, I guess we have to back the club in and hope they know what they are doing.

 

[Winston]

I'd imagine something is in play - Jamar offered a contract?
I remember reading about a mid 20's or so ruckman in the VFL who did ok against AFL listed rucks? Played for Willy maybe??

 

[ozzyoslo]

Nahas and Black must consider themselves lucky to not go ahead of Maj.

Nev how can you say that??

Nahas has been fantastic........but yes we have organic players coming up through the ranks, Nahas has his role to play quite different from Daw's though.

Black has 2 years of his contract to play out plus heaps of upside in ability to show and the fact Waite and Petrie will be gone by the end of 2017.


Club probably has a better understanding than most of us here.......where theyre (players) at and what state of mind theyre in.

 

[Dingster]

Romantic story but he looked a liability when he didn't have the ball. No defensive pressure at all.

Happy to keep him on the list as insurance if there's no-one better, but's that's all he is.

 

[Joshen]

Really disappointed. Court case notwithstanding I thought he was primed for a cracking year now that the sub-rule is gone. Was excellent against Richmond and feel like another club will certainly take the punt before us.
