Recommitted Ned Moyle [Re-signed with GC through to the end of 2028]

[adammania9]

You are mixing together two distinctly different aspects.

I’m not suggesting they did overpay him in terms of salary, but suggesting they didn’t because they only gave up a 2nd round pick is a fundamentally flawed argument.

Flynn was a free agent, therefore the compensation granted was purely depending on his new salary

That is very true. My mistake.

North? Xerri feels more like a career back up level than a genuine first ruck

Thought Xerri was one of their few bright spots for the year so far

Xerri just signed til 2029 though.

Yeah my opinion may be stale. Haven’t seen a ton of North this year

goes down their season will be done. they need more talls around the ground to help out their struggling forward line, too.

 

[HBFlanker]

Essendon have lodged an interest. Heard this directly from a suns player.

very surprising given that we currently have 3 proper rucks & 1 ruck forward (albeit very fresh) on the list currently

I think there are questions marks on Draper now. Both ability wise and his injury history.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

The Suns will need a back up ruck when Moyle goes.

Straight swap with Nick Bryan? Isn't he mates with Rowell and Anderson?

certainly agree that he's been pretty limited skill/impact wise this season but i think it'd be a pretty large sacrifice to trade him away

He's easily been in their top 3 players. He's been good he just seems to fade a bit as the game goes on.

Rucks always move for opportunity particularly where they are promised the number 1 or regular gametime.

He wouldn't cost the world either which would make him a very attractive target. Richmond could probably through one of our later 2nd round picks at him and get it done, maybe a pick in the late 30s.

He'd be the number 1 within 2 seasons and he'd arguably be forcing his way in sooner as number 1 with Nankervis on the gradual decline.

I'd definitely take that.

Probably depends on the longevity of Nank and how his body holds up, but there's definitely the need to chase up another ruckman if someone like Samson Ryan doesn't quite get there. Naismith is a stop-gap measure, and losing Soldo has left a hole in that development. Moyle is pretty much prime for an Yze rebuild team.

The only thing is he'd probably have to be content that he's not going to replace the current captain as number 1 in his first season, but from 2026 onwards I reckon the number 1 spot would be his. He'd be fighting with Samson Ryan for that number 1 spot after Nank, but if Moyle's good enough which I think he hopes to be, he'd be in that prime position at some point in the next 12-24 months, probably earlier if there's injury or he's good enough.

IMO there's only 2 ways smart clubs pick up rucks, you either trade a 2nd/3rd for someone ready to go about to hit their prime who's stuck behind a number 1, or you take an aging FA/RFA for a couple of years and then rinse and repeat.

Investing in them as 18 year olds is a 4-6 year game and they often end up leaving for more opportunity if they're stuck in the reserves.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Doggies should look at bringing in someone like him, and using English more as a Blicavs-style "tall midfielder".

Makes maximum use of English's play around the ground, without him needing to do as much crash-and-bash physical ruckwork.

 

[Ants]

I do not understand it if true. Our depth ruck options look very good. Bryan should really be getting games.

Suns would probably take a future pick for him too.

Another cracking game in the ressies. And was allowed to rest fwd this week, kicking 2 goals and adding another string to his bow.

 

[The 747]

A few clubs will be looking for a ruck so he'll have his pick if he wants to leave - and GC will get decent compensation.

Of course that will also leave GC looking for a back up ruck.

Longer term I suspect their rucks will be Mac Andrew plus some giant. But Mac needs to eat a lot of mac n cheese first.

Surely they'd keep Andrew in defence and have Read at ruck.

In the long term I think Andrew is a ruck/utility. Just my opinion, in defence now because it's somewhere he can play while building up size.

 

[Vindicater]

The first of the entrants to the ruck merry go round

 

[MisterMarcus]

Stanley seems to have fallen off a cliff, so we could do worse than looking at Moyle as support for Conway.

Wouldn't be out-and-out first ruck, but he'd definitely be in a "guaranteed 1 game in 3 while Toby builds his tank" position.

A good chance Moyle will play against Conway on Thu.

Not sure "guaranteed 1 game in 3 while Toby builds his tank" is the best strategy to lure Moyle.
