After so many second place finishes, I am waiting for the ink to dry on a contract before I count it. That being said, we got Corr last year from GWS, but still, we have missed out on a fair few.
I hear u Tas. 2 of my sons (a very strong mum) are roo supporters. Hope u can keep Tarrant. I like the look of ur forwards especialy Combden n Larkey........Larkey kicked our ass one game.
 
If Mabior Chol gets a 3 year deal from the Suns, it goes to show how heated the market is for someone who can play forward and ruck a bit. Same with CCJ rumoured to be offered 4 years from North. There’s a premium associated with anyone who can go into a ruck contest.

It is almost like the upside of being a ruckman in an era where no one wants to draft them is that, once you’re on a list, you don’t need to be all that good to make a living out of it.

The clubs which can spot the ruck talent early and take a long term view of ruck development are going to have a competitive advantage IMO. Draft them, develop them up and then either play them if you need a ruck or trade them away for a profit. All it costs you is a list spot or two and minimal salary.

Interesting times for Richmond if they lose both Chol & CCJ in the same year. I know what one of their first round draft picks is going to be used on.

Old mate Tom Lynch is going to be one out in the forward line pretty soon. Reiwoldt will be as useful as **** on a bull next year.

Should trade Dusty to GWS for pick 2.
 
Very happy to see Coast snag a big name.
Coleman-Jones is a much bigger name than Chol.

Eggmolesse-Smith bigger still, so step up GC!
 
Lynch (200 cm, 99 KG, age turned 23 three days ago) only had 2 games this year. Round 13 in a win over Melbourne against Max Gawn
Not sure if he plays forward though
Lynch: 15 D, 3 M, 1 T, 23 HO, 2 Clearances
Gawn: 19 D, 8 M, 5 T, 20 HO, 0 clearances

BRISBANE
"As one of the AFL’s contending sides, Brisbane likely won’t have much room to make a splash this off-season.

Due to this, they’ll hope to plug smaller holes in their list, and one of those is another solid ruck option.

Currently, Oscar McInerney is the club’s primary ruckman, and while he’s certainly up to the task, any injury to him would spell big trouble.

Archie Smith holds that mantle at the present, but with him expressing an desire to explore other options, a move for Collingwood back-up Max Lynch would make a lot of sense.

Not only would Lynch provide injury depth but he could also free McInerney up to play forward more often if Chris Fagan opted for a two-ruck combination.

A player like Lynch wouldn’t cost much salary or trade wise, and would be a thoughtful choice."

I’m guessing Mac Andrew.

They still have Nankervis, Soldo, Samson Ryan, Mate Colina and Bigoa Nyuon on their list as rucks.

Any chance of us getting Samson Ryan? Remember him being ex academy. Watched him destroy us in the VFL this year and couldn’t believe we didn’t take a punt on him. I think he is out of contract

Heaps of players destroyed our VFL team

Did you see his one senior game?

True. That needs to be taken into account and his one senior game was disastrous but I saw enough in that game to suggest he can play AFL and do a job. Upside is big in my opinion and he’s already a unit. Won’t take him 3-5 years to fill out like Lane and Smith. Might be a decent money ball pick

What specifically in that one game did you see that impressed you to suggest he can play AFL seniors?

Once again the term "Moneyball" is used incorrectly.
 
I am not sure how many clubs would purposely stockpile perceived talent to on trade for a greater return, particularly in this day and age of reduced list spots.

Kicked a bag and took several nice marks in the forward line. Looked decent in the ruck but didn’t get much of a run there. When he did solo ruck at VFL level appears to have held his own stats wise. We don’t have the cap space to get a ready to go back up from another club atm.

Part of money ball is getting in undervalued options that fit a need/ niche you need to fill isn’t it? Regardless of what it means I think posters here would understand what I’m alluding to with the term. Apologies to anyone who has been offended or left confused by my inappropriate use of the term.
