I think he's a better ruckman then you say he his (still not elite). The point I was making was if we want A grade talent that he's just as likely as anyone. He's got connections to the club and state. He's also out of contract next season (potential free agent). Saints have gone on record saying they're targeting 2019, in which jack will be 29 and have shown no one is off limits for the right deal. I reckon playing in front of 50,000 every second week , not getting tagged and challenging for finals would appeal to him.

I'm neither here nor there on having an extra ruckman on the rookie list. The fact that none of the clubs chose to draft him tells me that he's not as good as you think he is/was and that Adelaide didn't make a mistake by not drafting him.
I guess those clubs who overlooked Sloanedog got it right after all

Who knew? ;)

Any rucks around looking to be delisted? Other then ours of course. Jack Hannath is out of contract and would be ideal for back up. Allows us to show Graham and McKernan the door.
Have to say Cam Wood looked pretty good last night in his first game for 12 months as a back up.

Adelaide boy - not sure of his contract status or whether he would even be interested.

While we should be looking for a backup ruckman, we should at least aim for one that doesn't make us pray "please no LTI to Jacobs, please no LTI to Jacobs" moreso then usual.

Apparently had a good game, but history states he is no better then Graham.

You're all hysterical - everyone wants to go to a top line ruck and say hey... How'd you like to come and be a career SANFL ruckman, oh and you might score 1 AFL game in 2 years.

Wow what a sales pitch that is. I mean who do people seriously expect to get for such a role. It's not like Sauce is a borderline selection who needs competition - he's AA quality.

No - did you see last nights game?

He was recruited as a back up, dosent play for 12 months, steps in for 10 poss, 7 marks, a goal and 26 hit outs against Goldstein.

So you tell me what more you are looking for in a back up ruck that only plays if Sauce goes down?
Oh goodie, he played ONE half decent game, let's recruit him!

Idiotic thinking. It'd be Graham all over again.

Ok Einstein - what's you're suggestion?

BTW if you can't add to rational debate and only have the capacity to be an abusive keyboard warrior suggest you find your way off this board

I'm sorry but if you're going to suggest on this board that we recruit Wood after all the mediocre performances he's put in over the years than you deserve all the scorn and ridicule you get.

Why don't you give us a suggestion as you seem to have all the answers.

Cameron Wood, at the right price would be a fantastic pick up.

I would like to see us go after Gorringe... Again. He would come cheaper then Lycett and is also around 22.

Otherwise I would be happy for Currie or Hannath to fill the role. Both drafted from SA and Hannath is out of contract at the end of the season.

Absolutely would like us to go after Gorringe in the developing ruck spot.

As far as immediate back up - I've not seen anything much of Hannah or Currie - are they proven to be up to slotting straight in to AFL if needed?

Well it appears that the only scorn and ridicule comes from you, so I won't lose too much sleep:thumbsu:

Cameron Wood is only a slight improvement on Angus Graham and we should not go anywhere near
I've never seen Angus Graham play an AFL game like Cameron Wood did last night. Therefore Cameron is in front and the fact he was a rookie pick, give him the nod.
