Seriously though, we won't be recruiting any mature aged recruits, if the rumours are true and we are delisting a lot of our first year players from last year, we need to stack up on young players, not mature aged ones.
Let Hine do his work.

Seriously, I don't know why people are still screaming out for another ruck. If we are going to go down that option, it has to be a Leigh Brown type not a genuine ruck.
We have Jolly, Wood and will add Witts. Ceglar is also developing. That's plenty.
IMO, some may kill me but I actually don't mind might T's idea of Cam Cloke. He actually has many Leroy Brown traits. He is physical, he has mongrel in him and he can take a grab. He actually is also better in the ruck than leroy was too as I do recall his vertical leap being pretty good when he was flavour of the month for awhile there a few years ago.
It should certainly be an option to be considering. He's be the ideal replacement for Leroy. 26 years old- same age as Leroy came to us and will give it his absolute all. We all laughed when we were interested in Leroy and it was genius. Worth the look as a cheap option.

Agree with this up to here.

I wasn't particularly happy when we traded him and in his last season for the blues I thought he wasnt used properly. Always performed well in the vfl when I watched him
I wouldn't be unhappy if we took him back, but I think it's unlikely due to the blokes who'd be competing with him. Also I dunno if bucks would be a huge fan of his disposal, although he played with him so he'd know things about his ability.

Currie- Rookie him.
Daniel Currie, just delisted by Sydney.
23 next year, been with the best ruck coaching outfit, stuck behind Mumford Seaby Pike et al and starved of oportunity. A more mature bodied unit but with plenty of upside.
Go get him now I say.
Edit: Damn beaten by Soreplums!

Haha....
Only just snuck in!
I've been keen on us to look at him for a while. Can play up forward as well. Could play that pinch hit ruckman and be good cover for Dawes and Cloke.

I don't see the need to be honest unless we see him ahead of Wood. In which case I don't see why we would still have Wood on the list. I'm sure he will find his way onto someones list. He'd be worth a shot at GWS perhaps.
I didn't know he was also a good forward? How many goals has he kicked in the magoos?

I found that the L Brown 2nd Ruckman was not working well late in the Season and I started to have my Doubts.
In the GF I would love to had Wood in the Side backing up Jolly Espically with his Injury

The whole idea of that was when we had Wood and Fraser they were getting smashed in the ruck and offered nothing around the ground so we went with Leroy who was able to go either forward or back if required and was more competitive around the ground.
Hindsight is a good thing regarding the grand final. Playing Goldsack instead of Fasolo was the single biggest mistake. Jolly did ok considering his injury but when Reid was limping after Hawkins it was game over.

Disagree playing 2 Injured players in Reid and Jolly was the Biggest Mistake, You could say Sack should of played instead of Reid
True but playing Jolly didnt cost us the game, he did okay against Ottens and West but was definately restricted. Reid was a gamble which didnt pay off, the Sack as a defensive forward on Scarlett or later in defence would have been invaluable considering Maxwell broke a knuckle aswell in the 1st quarter.
The Cats played Steve Johnson who ended up booting 4 goals and lost Pods in the 2nd. Sometimes you need lady luck your way.

Sack In, Fasolo Out
Pods goes down in 2nd quarter, Reid subbed off at half time for sack, Taz on hawkins and its a different game. Do we win, who knows.
As for the mature age ruckman, i think bucks will back in the younger blokes

Wood, Ceglar, Keefe and Witts are all current, and future, ruck/KP prospects. Why on earth would we want a mature scrapheap ruckman when we are developing our own?
We do not need another ruckman. Squads need a minimum of 3 ruckmen that can play senior footy. Witts gives us that 3rd and hopefully Ceglar can kick on. Who knows what Buckley's plans for Keefe are.
It's a big ask to expect any of Witts Ceglar or Keefe to deliver in 2012, especially if Jolly has injury troubles again next year which is not out of the question at his age. They are all long term prospects but it's unlikely that they could play more than a couple of games next year, talks take time and they simply wont be ready.
I think we need an extra senior hardened player as insurance. Most of all he needs to be cheap. Maybe Cam Cloke is a good option.....we could rookie him in Macnamaras place and the list would not lose any team balance.

Can't understand why people view Keefe as a ruck option? Not a position he is being groomed for far as I can see

All the more reason why we need another backup option. Keefe will only be a last resort.
