Carlton ruck coach Gary Dempsey believes the club has the ruck depth to match it with the best in the competition and he's signaled a more attacking approach from the Blues' big men in 2006.

With the addition to the squad of Dylan McLaren from the Brisbane Lions, Dempsey said there will be genuine competition for spots in the starting line-up.

He said the club was much better placed than last year when forced to rely on first-year ruckman Chris Bryan to carry the load single-handed while Barnaby French and Adrian Deluca were both sidelined by injury for several weeks through the middle of the season.[/quote]

You finished quoting a paragraph too soon. This is the best part ...

And he said the days when the likes of versatile non-specialists such as Ian Prendergast or Anthony Koutoufides were required to fill the breach simply because there was no alternative are long gone.
Celebrate good times ... come on .... it's a celebration.:D
