Draft/Trade

[Silvagnis]

Wouldnt mind Rix for Carazzo, but I doubt you guys would go for that, would you? Carrazzo would be worth a pick around 30-40, I reckon, more likely the lower end of that. Having said that, not sure if I would want to trade him.

A back up ruckman for a defender/midfielder who has done beaten Davey in the past and can win the ball?

We're not that desperate for a ruckman if it's Rix

Maybe if it's a straight swap for Goddard.

St Kilda can also pay Everitt what he wants and only have half of it go towards the salary cap. You guys deserve each other.

He's been an Albatross around Hawthorn's neck.

Give us Blake & a late pick for Everitt

Depending on what the new coach thinks, will depend on whether we try and trade for a ruckman.

After GT sacked Capuano, he basically said that he didn't rate ruckman at all.

Despite being shown to be wrong countless times as opposition ruckman absolutely destroed us, GT remained firm on his stance. I put it down to his deadset pig headedness (is that a word!!) and his refusal to admit he was wrong.

Let Rix, Ackland and Brookes battle it out for the No#1 rucking spot. Rix and Brokkes never got a fair crack, and Cain Ackland always seemed to be the one to take a fall for a loss (Same with Troy Schwarze)

And please, please give up on trying to make Jason Blake something he isn't.

GT didn't rate ruckmen who didn't contribute in other ways.

This is the reason Jason Blake was played as a ruckman, he would end up getting almost the same number of effective hitouts as one of our dedicated ruckmen, but he would get 20 possessions as well.

A new coach is sure to have a different approach, and our ruck stocks are all maturing into potential AFL grade ruckmen, so Blake may not ever play that role again. In fact he may find himself without a place in the team.
