What are people's thoughts on using pick 36 on a developing ruck man???? Goldie aside, we have currie, majak, the beast, and brown. Going forward majak would be my choice backup as a pure ruck (if fit) prefer to keep brown fwd. Currie and the beast mature age, there's a limit to how much better they can get and how long the club should keep them as pure insurance. Already enough competition for spots amongst other positions? Only stipulation I'd have is no beanstalk 200 plus cm 80kg blokes. Anyone seen or know anything about kovacevic? 204cm 111kgs, looks a good mark and kick, and mobile for his size by his highlights. Any others? Thoughts??
want Kovacevic as a rookie, plays like mumford.

Yeah, your right,,,,rookie list be the way to go.
This is the first year I can remember where a ruckman won't get in the top 15-20. Wright is 200cm but is a forward in my eyes! I think clubs are choosing to poach ruckman rather than develop them as they usually take 4-5 years to mature

If mckenzie is there we should take him- we need someone that can be a gun KPF as the future doesnt look good for those we have drafted.

Cant get any guys that have had major injury issues- garner, delaney, harper and co have missed to many games.

25 maybe. There will be better quality available at 16 methinks.

I'll put $50 on Gold Coast taking Weller at 8. I'd have him in a heatbeat if he was realistically available at 16 but that'snot the case.

Knightmare currently has us taking Weller, R. McKenzie and Lonie

Would honestly struggle to realistically imagine a much better result than that.
Interesting that Knightmare in the Big Footy phantom draft chose McKenzie at pick5 for Collingwood. He really rates him but has been more objective about him in his own draft.
