I reckon he goes, but Buzza gets a rookie contract and Simpson and/or Zuthrie get re-rookied after being delisted. Alongside Jones, Cunico, Scooter, Abbott and Kelly, we'll have 6 main list spots available then. Means we can (hopefully) get picks that are somewhere along the lines of 9, 14, 17, 36, 54, 72, with 54 or Future 2nd for Steven, and bring someone else in, alongside our draft haul.

I smell a perma ban in your future if it happens
Look Fort maybe... But it was his 1st season, and playing a whole new position as a FF/CHF. I'd like to see him play in his natural position in the Ruck.... He got drafted as a ruck so let him play there. And look he didn't go to bad for his 1st time playing forward...

When was the last time we drafted a teenage ruckman? Vardy in 2009? I think we can draw a line through getting a young ruck in the draft, it's a clear strategy in the Scott era to avoid developing our own ruckmen.

simpson was our best get since mummy
but injury stuffed him when he was looking ok
we had a really bad patch with injuries to key players, ie one who were not easily replacable
think menzel, egan, cockatoo, mccarthy, simpson
very few games from a very talented group

Vardy was a KF second ruck.
Simpson was a proper young ruck draftee.

Really looking forward to watching Miers, Clark, chook and Narkles after another solid pre season that could be the core of our further midfield
if we can get some decent pics and get two or more quality kids we are well placed for the future

Agree.
Interesting you have not included Cockatoo. I think it's safe to assume nothing and be happy if there is something.

Pretty much that
And plus if he stays fit he will be in the forwards for tackling pressure and goals imo
Buy why is abbott and fort contracted? Surely these players arent good enough to earn anything more than 1 year contracts. Sh** if menzel could only ever earn 1 year contracts then why are vfl players earning multi year contracts. Its not like anyone else would of taken them if we only signed them for one. Horrible mismanagement. We end up cutting not the worst players. Same issue with parsons and horlin smith getting multi year contracts. And billie smedts from memory too. Amatuer stuff.

I guess so. Still, we recruited Blake, West, Mumford, Simpson, and Vardy within about five or six years of each other. Then nothing for the next 10 unless you count Sav or Blitz
Abbott is not young. Only a year younger then smith. Fort isnt really a ruckman. More of a forward who pinch hits in the ruck.They've got to back Stanley in for the whole season and if that means only having young rucks as backup and getting rid of Smith, Abbott and Fort then so be it.
Stanley/Sav ruck combo could be pretty sexy but they've gotta play Krueger with Hawkins as well; dangerous tall setup we could have on our hands

Yep.... that's what i said, get rid of those three and draft some young rucks.
Has anyone seen Bradtke ..we were interested in him before signed at Melb..
Comben and Bell .. I cant say which one will be the best in the long run ..or whether there is someone in the second level that appeals...
Lol i misread
Yes. My issue is more with abbot.

Other clubs offered him 2 yrs. We matched to keep him here. Drafting fort was the mistake.

Or we just do this and get rid of EVERYONE
I find that hard to believe he had shown very little. If they did we should of traded him and got some value for a vfl player.
Geelong's Zac Smith and Lion Archie Smith could yet feature in a club swap.
Been stuck behind Martin for years, hasn’t worked when they’ve tried them together, played just 9 games in 4 years of those only 2 were rucking solo without Martin.

Showed a bit in those couple games in his rookie year.
