Doubt it, ended up winning a flag didn't he?
I think he'll go to the Suns to get guaranteed games early on and use that to pump his price up for a move to Victoria.
I know that's what Id do if I was in his position.

Goldy if only we had been able to get him instead of Hamish.

Outside Gawn, Nic Nat and Grundy is their a ruck that would be good enough for Geelong supporters?
Probably not. Sick of buying lemons and trying to make Lemonade... try drafting a few and growing our own

Nank would of been a good get.
Hes been good for Richmond.
Hes been good for Richmond.
Just listening to the couch... and they were discussing a Roos story from the past when Roos was coach and Viney first started at Melb... he had to have a word with him.. as he was going so hard at training..he was hurting the older players.... Would we like to think about when the last player we have drafted would have been like that. Cockatoo would be the only one I can think of.

Goldy is fine both him and Martin are A grade and durable the issue is when they are injury prone like HMac. As always the issue is price but at the right price they are upgrades for us.
Backward step Pure .. its another accommodation to the selfness of now. .. If bring him in we should still add kids or we risk doing another Hmac.

Ruck is an exception because you dont play kids there (except rare ones like Grundy). Other positions i agree with you. Stanley Abbott and Smith are all over 25 and Goldy is way better than them, he wouldn't be keeping a kid out of the side.

Gaff compo and their first rounder would give us 3 first rounders

Picks 15 x 2. One we traded for Caddy the other we drafted Smedts with.

Id go for polly. Best ruckman in history
I'm liking the look of Jeremy Sharp in this draft... Looks like he has okay wheels, marks overhead, flashy, gut runner, good kick. Not sure where he goes in this draft, but he looks a good fit with Brownless and Scott; would add a lot of two way running in the team.

If he wants to learn from the best hed come to us in a heartbeat
Its not the side Im necessarily talking about. Sure you may be right about a fit Golds can offer.. while have a high degree of fitness we can expect from a ruck 30plus..
We have this idea ..we just need to add one more bit to the puzzle and we will worry about tomorrow..tomorrow. I don't think we lost because of Abbott anyway.... but what im really referring to is this reliance on piracy , having to pillage someone else's list because we don't develop one ourselves
So how do you envisage our rucks on our list Goldy 30/31 , Stanley 28 , Smith 29 , Abbott 27/28...
Oh just realised he is next year's draft...
It was one mid R1..and 1 R1 after our natural R1 ... it another example of what I'm advocating.. id rather have one to 5 pick than two in that range.

Deal will depend on how high a pick his nursing home will require in return.
Id reckon you would get sack as Recruitment manager if you draft a ruck Polly's size now.
