That or you go for a 210cm rookie who can catch and is competitive...if one exists!At the moment, it's not a very attractive list is it
And thats the issue, is they generally take a while to come on.
It probably comes down to how important the club thing ruckman are and what they are willing to invest
This was in relation to using an early pick on one, not getting one in generalMissed some handy ones there just off the top of my head.

And Rowan Marshall who I was very bullish about in both his draft year for the Rebels and the following year when he was starring for the now defunct North Ballarat Roosters on the VFL.
We were also heavily into Jarrod Witt's but the Gold Coast offered him better deal contract length wise.
Carltons second rounder would be highway robbery.. and only possible because he’s contracted.He’d definitely get us Carlton’s 2nd rounder
Would that pick be inside 40?
But we could have used an early pick on a ruckman that wasn't in this list. All you've show us who they picked, not who was available.That or you go for a 210cm rookie who can catch and is competitive...if one exists!
At least we would win our share of hitouts and someone who likes to follow up and tackle.

Missed early games and chunk of preseason with osteo pubis but gradually getting up to speed after a slowish start where he mainly played forward. Last couple of of weeks he's done more rucking and he's starting to fire on all cylinders.How is Will Verall tracking for this year?
He seems to have dropped off the radar completely, you were quite positive about him a couple of years ago
Keeler misses hopefullyMissed early games and chunk of preseason with osteo pubis but gradually getting up to speed after a slowish start where he mainly played forward. Last couple of of weeks he's done more rucking and he's starting to fire on all cylinders.
Going to be interesting to see how many talks get a run for SA at the upcoming Nationals given the plethora of tall talent available.
Harry Barnett, Tom Scully Harry Lemmey, Isaac Keeler, Will Verrall might be a stretch fitting them all in.
Some pretty handy #1 rucks going around who were taken late in the draft! ROB's been pretty good too in the last 24m, but this year he's certainly down on form.I think ROB was the last project ruckman we took on.
The problem is they take so long normally to be strong enough to compete.
But if we keep using rookie picks, we keep getting ROB and Strachan types
We don't. We really don't.Carltons second rounder would be highway robbery.. and only possible because he’s contracted.
We desperately need the list spot.
The BMX bandit!Rowie said we are into Brett Turner from Glenelg and he had to apply for an exemption.
A 184cm midfielder, Mutineer any good?
Interesting run through some rucks in our history, if people want to see if they can spot any correlation.I think ROB was the last project ruckman we took on.

That's a long long time ago. I think he showed a bit as running defender for West Adelaide at U18's level but went undrafted

I like this a lot.Not sure if he's rated a mention here before but one player I'd love us to take a strong look at is Connor Budarickfrom the Suns. There's a clear link to SA through his old man (although I don't know how long Connor was in Adelaide if at all) which is something to go on and he'd be a direct, like-for-like, superior replacement for Brown as a lockdown small defender with the ability to run off and create.PLAYERCARDSTART19Connor Budarick

Seemed like he took a little while (understandably) coming back from an ACL (I think) but he looks like he's back in decent form now but nowhere near a household name so this might be the time to strike.
Would be a great addition to our team.
He won a national juniors BMX title at 10 or something like that. Was a bit about it when he entered the draft the first time since he went BMX, basketball until he was 16 and then football.
Reckon it could be a bit of a senior "top up" for the SANFL side after we lost Freeman?That's a long long time ago. I think he showed a bit as running defender for West Adelaide at U18's level but went undrafted
Surprised we'd have interest more a journey man than a star at SANFL level and at 25 it would be a strange addition IMO with so many youngsters to blood.

Jay Rantall (20) the running/tackling machine going pretty well for the Redlegs, another that never really got a fair crack at AFL for the Pies due to being there during the Covid in Victoria?Not sure I want to target anyone over 22yo

I saw plenty of him live and he didn't suck then especially given he was relatively new to the game coming through an elite basketbal/athleticsl program where he represented Australia.Collingwood fans thought he sucked
General thoughts on the Collingwood board were that he was small, slow, had poor skills (especially kicking) and bad football IQI saw plenty of him live and he didn't suck then especially given he was relatively new to the game coming through an elite basketbal/athleticsl program where he represented Australia.
