Losing two at the end of the year next year is easy to replace. None of us think it's no chance, in fact most of us think it's close to a monty. However you're either drafting:Unpopular opinion but the very real possibility of losing at least two is very real. If Vigo is more a fwd than he is a ruck then that adds more questions to the ruck order.
Why wouldn't we feasibly add to the depth, it's not like they will come in and play from round 1, 2025 anyway. Would be 2 years away and by that stage Goldstein is gone, we should be rubber stamped with/without Bryan and who knows if Drapers head is turned if you put enough 0000's behind a number.
Can argue all you like about how many rucks a club has, each one is unique, even ours. How many have 3 capable, AFL ready number 1 rucks on the list?
1. A mature ager who will be fourth in line and likely get very few minutes in the VFL
2. A kid who will get very few minutes in the VFL
So it's really no benefit to us or to them. And at the end of next year we can draft Crossley or Flockhart or Cooper Keogh or any of them.
As far as the last question, it's us, Freo and Geelong. We don't need the ruck. In fact there's an argument that we're too ruck heavy.
