In Wells We TrustInland Waterway Terminal?
So explain to me what benefit there is to playing a ruckman who isn’t AFL standard and adds nothing to our side over giving games to Mitch edwards or Conway if fit and available?? Or just continuing with SDKOff the top of my head (and i havent checked contract status)
Bryan
Ladhams
Visentini
Ramsden
(Reidy will be available but is less athletic)
Would be the 4 that id ideally look at.
If youre looking for someone young and rawer verrall okeefe and heath are good options to consider.
Theres definitely better options on other lists than what we have and most will be relatively cheap. We could go down the state league mature age route but i do prefer someone thats already in system.
There are plenty of players who couldn't get games at the original club and are no 1 rucks at there new club.So explain to me what benefit there is to playing a ruckman who isn’t AFL standard and adds nothing to our side over giving games to Mitch edwards or Conway if fit and available??

Conway fit and available would play ahead of any ruckman next year. He piteously won't be all the time.So explain to me what benefit there is to playing a ruckman who isn’t AFL standard and adds nothing to our side over giving games to Mitch edwards or Conway if fit and available??

I agree on Conway, he will be our no 1 ruck next year 100%. But we all know his body is an unknown, and we need insurance for a backup in case he can't get upConway fit and available would play ahead of any ruckman next year. He piteously won't be all the time.
Edwards needs a lot of gym time before he steps up

I wonder if we could get Pittonet (Carlton), Nick Bryan (Essendon) or Peter Ladham (Sydney). It'd be really nice to replace Stanley with someone acting as a solid backup right now.
PureWhatever we do trade current picks for smith and dont risk trading our future 1st
I lol thinking that pies probably traded a top 10 pick for schultz and port may have traded a top 10 pick for esava and bzt of all people.
So a ruckman who isn’t up to the standard is superior?? Edwards will be ready for a handful of games. Between him SDK and Conway they will be fine to manageBecause the counterpoint to managing your list so badly that edwards has to play afl before he is ready is josh fraser.

What's your thoughts of Max Heath from St Kilda? Was a former pick 7 in 2021 and has not yet played a AFL game.
Is a ruck , but can go forward too

No current season stats available
Have you heard anything about Rowan Marshall? Afa coming our way?I like max (unsure of his contract status). I assume stk will want to keep him like ess will want to keep bryan and hes a local kid.
I prefer ramsden and bryan as they are slightly more athletic but ive watched heath in the vfl this year and his movement around the ground and his forward craft is much better than last year. So yes i would go for him if he was gettable at a decent price.

Came out last week and said hes staying at st kilda.
TyTyTyNo chance.
Smith is all but signed with us, there's simply no viable way to get Roma as well. We'd be trading out of two drafts at a minimum.
Plus, he appears to be happy enough at the Saints anyway. Was just a beat up by Morris yet again.
Lots of posters on here last year were saying we wouldn’t need to recruit another ruck for this season because Conway will be a superstar.
I don't think it is flawed at all.Not what I said at all. Read it again mate. My point was that justifying not drafting Caddy coz of OH is flawed.
There are plenty of first year players who have played well. Are you kidding?
I don't think this is accurate. No one here has written off Clark as a player.that were quick to write off Clark too
It certainly did but you’ve taken one part of what I said and isolated it to make your point. You must work for the herald sun. There was a lot of debate last year about the need for a ruck and many said we didn’t need one as Conway would provide that this year.File this under things that didn't happen.
I'm pretty sure the consensus was shock when we didn't pick up another mature ruck. There have been debates about whether that was the right choice but I don't think anyone expected Conway to dominate this season after coming in as a 20 year old with 1 game under his belt.
