[conVINCEd]

If not, we are going to go into the season with the SANFL side with Borlase as our only recognised key defender - and an undersized one at that IF McAsey leaves

Magden (according to Rendell, fwiw).

 

[George Kramer]

I’m not worried about not having late pick ruck or KPD added to the list this year. Most likely to be AFL quality comes first to my mind. Our only genuine need at this moment is a couple of A grade mids with vision, elite legs and/or speed. Backs and average rucks you can get at anytime it matters. Which it doesn’t really at the moment.

That’s assuming there have been no quality developing rucks we could have drafted in the last 5 years. We haven’t drafted one in all that time. As we know young rucks take time, it’s stupid list management not to have one on your list.

Most clubs trade in experienced Rucks hence the merry go round most years. Not a necessity - but we do seem to have a clump of similar types on the list. Next year will be a reasonable clean up I suspect

Are there any other clubs without a developing ruck on their list?

 

[Crow till I die]

Magden (according to Rendell, fwiw).

Totally forgot about him..doesn't help us if butts or murray get injured but sanfl depth

 

[Scorpus]

In terms of clubs without a 22-year-old or younger ruck

Carlton
Collingwood
GWS
Melbourne

So no rebuilding clubs. What about under 25 year olds?

 

[Danger in Texas]

If Butts/Murray get injured, the next option has got to be Worrell at CHB. He's got the height for it, at least. Failing that, probably EH at CHB as you say

Borlase isn't looking up to it, and I don't want to see Doedee stand a key position post ever again

Collingwood and Melbourne

I thought the McAsey news (surely he's not coming back and if he does, it will only be to bide time until his contract runs out) might have forced our hand.

Dawson probably gets roped into a Trent McKenzie style KPD role if Butts/Murray goes down.

 

[Brett Cummings]

McAsey is done fellas, he was done even whilst he was playing for us.

Do you reckon he would of played better for a vic club? Could be an attitude problem. Though he always looked slow with no agility..

 

[Mostyn]

If it’s Turner after drafting another 2 mids, we are friggin morons.

It can't possibly be Turner.

Have three or four train on talls and choose who you want to see more from. Give them a year as a SSP.

 

[Mostyn]

Backs and average rucks you can get at anytime it matters. Which it doesn’t really at the moment.

Agreed. Get the premium positions set first - forwards and mids.

You can get defenders and ruckmen via trade. Hell, sides win flags with C+ ruckmen, you barely even need them when you're competing.

 

[Golumless]

Seems a bit of a paint by numbers night with drafting, but at least Dowling and Bond seem like the types of lads who could easily find a gig in our side, whether in defense or midfield. Ditto Michaelaney who we got dirt cheap.

 

[rabidcrow]

How many clubs are running with a first ruck they traded in from elsewhere?

Without looking:

Port
GC
gWS
Sydney
Geelong
Richmond
Collingwood

Are there anymore?

Probably looking at

Traded rucks: Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, Gold Coast, GWS, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, Richmond, Sydney

Drafted rucks: Adelaide, Brisbane, Essendon, Fremantle, Melbourne, North Melbourne, St Kilda, West Coast, Western Bulldogs

The worry is it will be doedee as an undersized KPD

 

[CromradeCromulent]

Yeah he's clearly quitting tomorrow, that's why he never missed a session before his leave and is still in constant contact with Burgo's staff while in Melbourne and putting work in. Players who are leaving always do that.

 

[ABAB]

Clearly needed a mental reset and get on the course Seedman recommended to Fogarty this year.

 

[Mutineer]

I was told we interviewed Felix Fogarty a while ago maybe he's a chance in the rookie draft? Mobile ruck/forward that looked alright in one game at the Nationals for VC.

Of course there could be a chance Thilthorpe does more rucking as he builds his strength?

 

[GreyCrow]

Lol, he was number 7...

Yeah but Dowling wears 14

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Not a fan of drafting mids using later picks every year. Our KPD situation is a shambles (unless its a mask for tanking) and we really needed a project ruckman. Our hand is good next year so here's hoping.

 

[GreyCrow]

Interested to see how our picks go

Good luck to all and welcome to the club

 

[conVINCEd]

If McAsey quits before the season starts, I assume we can put him as a mental health-related LTI and draft someone in the SSP?

 

[Tigerlaird]

In reality Tigers and Lions have significantly improved their squad in the last two months.

Big winners.

Dimma's last premiership run. 2023 is going to be a blast. Go Tiges!
