No. His issues is his injuries. A very determined and professional character.

Maybe the case. I said his issue is Attitude, not his Attitude. Attitude as a Ruckman, get him before he gets me, lead the team, "Get your knee in his throat"
Not knocking him personally, if he is quick enough, CHB looks his go.

Throw in Renouf as a sweetener
I am not convinced either.........I was dreaming!That should work
In 2012 Lobbe got handed one of the all-time greatest individual pantsings ever seen in a game of footy by Sam Jacobs.
In 2013 Lobbe comprehensively beat Jacobs and a host of other top quality AFL ruckmen.

And in 2014 Jacobs will be an All Australian, the life of a Ruckman hey!
Jacobs was 'the one that got away'.
he has shown zero as a forward though.
that's not to say he cannot become a ruck who is handy up forward , but he has not shown any aptitude for it to date. has size and athleticism so he has the potential to develop that way, if he has the head/ or develops the nous to play that position.
if you were signing him you would be signing him on what he showed as a junior ruckman , and his athletic attributes.

That's the risk. If he showed a lot as a ruck/forward at AFL level he'd be virtually untradable or very very expensive.

Personally I wouldn't, would rather add pressure to Moore with a first rounder like Weller or Blakely. Higgins at 26 has played 15-20 good games in 150?
Higgins would play a fair bit of Snafl IMO
that was a pearler of a goal though wasnt it. but even when i watched him before he was drafted he always looked a mobile leaping ruck. didnt look like a guy whose movements in the forward line would direct the midfield to kick it to him. didnt show the nous of how to play. that doesnt mean he cant/wont develop that though. but i wouldnt just assume he would be the ruck/solution to our key forward woes. he would give us a potentially very good ruckman who just may develop something of a forward game in time.
If we are after a ruckman/forward, we may as well persist with Redden, who signed a 1 year extension on friday I believe.
I really rate Redden, he has just been killed by injury.

Gorringe would be a decent player if he just showed a bit of mongrel. Maybe if he got some continuity in his football he might get some confidence in his body to be more aggressive. I'm not convinced but we must trade for a ruck.
So, Griffiths, Giles (signed but up for trade), Lowden, Grimley (apparently signed for another year!), Membrey and Greenwood are unsigned with Gorringe a possible trade.

If he was out of contract last year or became a free agent this year then i would be all over him. North will ask for a lot in a trade. It sucks because he would be great for our midfield.

GWS cannot possibly expect to keep all of Boyd, Cameron, Patton, Tomlinson, Stewart and McCarthy, and promise them games. Two of them have to be on the market or open to offers this trade period, even with Patton's injury. We ought to be a desirable destination for a young, developing tall forward.
Cameron please.
Cameron please.

Too late. Should've gone hard when he was spudding it up and we were only interested in him because he was a magpie.
According to the North board, Greenwood is out of contract.
