Yeah feel sorry for him

No sympathy for Sydney. Tippett gone, down on ruck stocks. Hope they feel they got their money’s worth
Longmire will develop a gameplan around sacrificing the ruck position, adding an extra tall mid for extra run, it will smoke everyone else, all teams will copy, and Sauce becomes redundant. You know it’ll happen.

They may need Tippett to come out of retirement...

This mornings herald sun reporting on Hardwick's re-signing and he's said he'd love Tom Lynch and they have the cap space for him.....

How is that possible considering Martin's contract size?
How is that possible given the "so called" new age of small forward lines :rolleyes:

 
Have people heard about Neil Craig's new job post Football ?

Yes it was. That shit team also did it leading up to finals and in finals. Created the mismatch, capitalised on the other teams' confusion. Sometimes didn't even contest the ruck. All hung around the tap/fall of the ball, and had an extra mobile player at the contest. Smart by Hardwick. The campaigner.

They will use Aliir Aliiir as their second ruckman, lose some hit outs but gain a lot more mobility around the ground.

They have Dean Cox as their ruck coach this year, it will be interesting watching their game plan unfold.
 
Allir or Cameron is the question. If they want an actual ruck they'll need to go Cameron, but Allir would be an interesting prospect.

Callum Sinclair will ruck and they can use a combination of Dean Towers, Sam Reid and Aliir Aliir as the backups. Sydney already do enough work sharking opposition hitouts as it is, so it doesn't really matter who is rucking.

I’m imagining someone suggesting that in a meeting and Longmire goes “...umm...yeah..err..Ideas! Give me more ideas!”
Don't believe they are in trouble. looks like they planned for Tippett by adding an extra ruck to there list. ie started the year with 5 ruckmen on the list. Counting Tippett and Naismith
senior list
C Sinclair 200cm Ruckman
D Cameron 204cm 2116 3rd round pick - Ruckman Forward, my pick for a Suprise packet.
And they could also use S Reid 196cm as pinch hitter Forward ruck
Rookies
J Amartey 196 Ruck Forward
 
What happened to Sinclair?
Think he is fine, just struggles to play much larger role than a chop out ruck. Cameron isnt exactly breaking the door down, but he has the endurance to make it work in partnership with Sinclair.

They got spooked by the GC with Hinkley, and he was still contracted...
They got spooked by us and gave Motlop a contract that netted Geelong an end of first round compo pick.

Then got spooked and offered lay about Watts a contract and thought they could turn him into a committed, devoted footballer, then gave him the weekend off the intraclub match to go party with his mates
 
Godfather offer from Carlton

Been rumors for years that they’ve been waiting for his contract to expire.
We helped Carlton free up some cap space. ;)
 
Sam Naismith does his ACL

Massive loss for Sydney
Ouch. Poor guy.

Did Sinclair just do an ankle too? Tippett retired, Nankervis traded last year. Running out of talls.

When do teams stop bothering with a ruckman? You almost want either a good ruckman or no ruckman.
