They do need a ruckman thats for sure

I think you have overlooked that the reports that suggest the Hawks are interested in landing Lake are very sketchy at best.
If the Dogs are seriously rebuilding Lake may look at an opportunity at the Hawks, who knows. However, he is not worth a 1st round pick at age 31. He is probably somewhere between our 1st and 2nd, so perhaps if we move someone else on for a lower 2nd rounder it would get closer to the mark.
I suspect this is entirely media driven though. Lake's name comes up every year linked to the Hawks.
He is a spud, very inconsistent.
I think I remember last year that Collingwood were after him.
2nd pick and Ellis would be ideal for us I'd say.
Tarrant was on essentially minimum wage, in an attempt to win a flag. Dawes is going nowhere, and Wellingham is getting squeezed out due to salary cap issues anyway. They already have a number of players taking significant pay cuts to pay for re-signing their stars. I can't see it happening

Who would seriously want him?
He begun getting more out of favour Rossy Lyon as the year went on as is form went down and he got replaced by Jon Griffin.

you think we should give up that for a 31 year old who's best is behind him??? CRAZY Vossy style
Ellis always looks crippled
And now that makes him a spud.......because a young Ruckman wasn't first choice at his club....Like i said he's 22 and 2 years off his prime years of football, he's athletic , quick, good mark and clean skills.....he's from a spud.
I'm not saying we should go after him because frankly we have more pressing needs and holes to fill.....but to say hes a spud is ridiculous comment.

I'd be interested in Clarke but it all depends on the price. Is he worth our first rounder? But if we take him for mine it means we've decided Lowden / Maximus aren't our future....
Who knows what we'll do.

He is far from a spud. Developing talls are generally inconsistent in their output, especially one who finds himself playing a number of different roles. He can take a good grab, is fast, kicks goals.
I would take him
We are still hiding him from Collingwood, and doing a fantastic job I might add.
Yes he does. Had a bad year but is contracted for next season.
Reckon we will see his role change from 2nd Ruckman/Fwd to CHB, especially if Bouuman is delisted.
Fair enough mate, though in IMO I wouldn't get him with the likes of Lukey Lowden coming up the ranks.
John Kennedy Snr was probably in Clarko's face saying next year to put the big Rough at CHB after the game Saturday.
He's so well hidden, even we don't know where he is.
With Carlton missing out on Cloke, I would suspect them to be very interested in Tippett. I can see them ordering en extra run of paper bags from Visy to help getting the deal done.
As for Zac Clarke, from what I've seen he would be an asset. He takes contested grabs, and that's something we need.

They were also very keen on Goddard.
The big fish tactic isn't a great one, I don't think. Too much can go wrong. One superstar might lift your team by 5%, but getting your second tier players to lift as a group lifts your team by about 20-25%. I know where my focus would be.
