Fitness more than anything else. And that is going to take time. You can’t knee jerk it which frustrates some but just gotta hope another preseason of them munting after drills gets us there.hardly a surprise. fwiw it pretty much tracks the ladder percentage so its a bit of a storm in a teacup really, fix general issues and red time will look after itself.
Yep. I agree. If Goldy continues to hold the #1 ruck standard until the years end (and still remains committed to the club), lets use X to purloin an experienced key defender. The market demand for rucks is pretty high at the moment.The most practical thing now seems to somehow convince Goldy to stay, have X play as much as possible, trade him while his value is highest and groom CCJ to replace Goldy in time.
dont think they were offering much.
It was a future second round pick. And they turned it down. So **** knows what their offer was, but it clearly wasn't much.What were they offering? A third?

He's done an ACL. They might still want back upFuture second round for Xerri seems about right. Doubt the Saints will chase him again since they plucked that other ruckman from SA, Hayes I think his name is.
Agree 100pct with this,,,,,to improve you need to pit yourself against better opposition. If you play enough VFL, you become a VFL player even a very good one is seldom on par with an average AFL player. Even if its just for a taste in a small stretch of games as a youngster to know what is required and go back and prepare better.Xerri looks like Polly Farmer in the VFL. The gap however to the AFL is significant.
The reality is the only way to see if Xerri and/or CCJ are AFL-standard ruckmen is to play them there. Which means the coaches really need to make a tough call on Goldy if they are going to take that approach and let him see out his career elsewhere, because he is purely a ruckman that has played his entire career as a ruckman and isn't suddenly going to reinvent himself as a CHF.
Why would they need X?Direct swap to freo, Logue for X plus steak knives.

Why would they need X?
There’s been a bit of talk on their board about trading out Meek at the end of the year. Who would their Darcy backup be, unless they score a big fish like English?Why would they need X?
?They give up a recent top 10 pick for another club's 2nd or 3rd ruckman?
It's not North Melbourne we're trading with here.
I could imagine we'd still get our pants pulled down even if we were.It's not North Melbourne we're trading with here.
Ok, but between Lobb, Tracey, Tab I’d have thought on the face of it they’d be able to cover it but if they want two dedicated rucks I guess it’s a good point. I wouldn’t think they’d want to part with much for a backup but let’s dig into itThere’s been a bit of talk on their board about trading out Meek at the end of the year.

Got yaI was agreeing with you Garth.
Yeah JHF to north VFL for Marty HoreI could imagine we'd still get our pants pulled down even if we were.
To be fair, it was exceptionally wishful thinking on my behalf.Ok, but between Lobb, Tracey, Tab I’d have thought on the face of it they’d be able to cover it but if they want two dedicated rucks I guess it’s a good point.

Don’t sell yourself short, he could be part of a good combo in that scenario.To be fair, it was exceptionally wishful thinking on my behalf.
I mean, why would X agree to go to Freo when he’s got less chance of being the #1 ruck there then he does at North?
Not sure I’ve got a promising future as a list manager tbh.
Do you think that will change this offseason
We wanted a second for Xerri the Saints said no fu** off.
logue? another tweener? no thanks.Direct swap to freo, Logue for X plus steak knives.
