That we didn't actually draft a mature B-Grade ruck makes me think the club doesn't have serious finals aspirations in 2017, which is fair enough. Pretty happy that we got Strnadica to develop, but again, he won't be useful for awhile.
I also don't have much confidence in how we will be positioned for 2018, unless Sandilands does in fact prove to be immortal. My expectations are that Griffin and Clarke are gone, and Darcy still not ready. I think he is not an ideal combo with Sandilands, both having below elite mobility, to be generous. Neither seeming to be forward weapons or having clear second strings to their bows.
Apeness and Strnadica do project as possible relief rucks, but it is all in the realms of fantasy at this stage.
Taberner training in the ruck is fine by me. He could compete with some of the part-timers that get put up. We had Deboer at one stage......
