Seems to me that an article in the Advertiser today and other related stuff is suggesting that the onus will be on Marsh to perform as the third ruckman.
The club seems to have more faith in him than we do!

Just a bit more on our first interstate rookie ever, Aidan Parker, ex the Subiaco web site.
Club's Best & fairest 2002
"David Lucas finished with a total of 97 votes with runner-up Paul Vines on 82. Richard Ambrose was third place on 81 votes and Aidan Parker (60) and Luke Toia (55) made up the top five for season 2002."

I concur with your comments Jerome. The non-participation in the draft & the rookie selection has got me buggered! We should be using the rookies to cover potential problems with our squad if player(s) get injured. We all know we have a stack of midfielders, so what does AFC do, draft another 3 out 4 rookie selections. WTF is their thinking?Originally posted by Jerome
So it should be. There should be some real pressure on him this year.
My concerns are that if one or two (or heaven forbid all three) are out injured, we are stuffed.
I don't want a repeat of 1999.
Clarke is 30 (and could retire at the end of 2003) and Marsh will be 27 next year. Angwin. Gilligan, Golding and Herbert - one of these guys should have been coming through the ranks as a long term player. We need to start grooming someone now. How did that kid from Norwood get past us and go to the Bulldogs?
To me, we are taking a big risk in not having a fourth ruck option. I really hope our big three dont get injured this year.
As for a project player - we already have Matt Smith.

Bratton almost got an AFL record in the endurance test at the draft camp this year. Looks like another good young player who can be built up and become a strong midfielder with his pace and endurance. If he becomes bigger, then there is no reason why he shouldn't be able to become another good midfielder with his pace and skills.
That's really impressive there. That endurance there is definitely important for being a key midfielder in the game in the next 5 or so years from now. If he becomes one of our top midfielders later on down the track, who knows, the guys might be doing "Bratton Runs" like they do with Goody and Roo right now.Originally posted by snakebite01

Was that the draft camp conducted in Adelaide where he almost got an AFL record in the endurance test , snakebite? He said that he missed the national draft camp, but I did either read or hear somewhere exactly what you are saying about the endurance record.

Listening to Steven Trigg on 5AA (he is on now), they wanted to pick a ruckman, but felt there was no one worth picking up. Surely, there is someone out there?? Perhaps Stiffy can bring back a giant Greek guy.Originally posted by Jerome
I am not happy! we need ruckmen/KPP players, that's our main weakness.
