I don't know, we tried a lot of spuds but we used good picks on Guy Richards and trading for Wood, plus Fraser was the #1 draft pick the year before Malthouse arrived. I don't think we went all out for a ruckman but we certainly tried quite a bit.Apart from Fraser, Mick kept trying get rucks on the cheap, discards/journeymen/spuds/bean poles, he had many chances to trade up but never did, the best ruckam we've had in the last decade was Pebbles IMO (Jolly aside), and he wasn't even a ruckman lol.
