Amon's a seriously good get. Every other club would snap him up if they had a chance too . Its a very underated get from the club .

Meeks no star but gives us a developed ruck who can step straight in .
Keep in mind the games we played with no ruck last year.
Some people werent happy we didnt get ladhams last year and were calling it a 'great' get by the Swans ....Meek is our Ladhams this year with the guy being a total half back Fl@nker of a guy .

Have we shot the lights out no but its not underwhelming .
We could look back in 2-3 years and nailed the draft picks
Another high pick would be great though

It's fine, it's ok. But have we really fast- tracked the rebuild by aggressively increasing our draft hand the past three years? No.

Just shows how much went our way with priority picks and trades (Hay, Thompson, Rawlings) last time we were at this position (haven't won a final since 2015).

Personally I just can't help but feel how important it would be to have a draft where we can get 2/3 top ten picks at it... we know how that worked out last time.

He'll make it before Lynch does.

Smart ruckman are worth their weight in gold, lynch doesn’t strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed tho

I know meek is a backup but he looks shi… I see no point in offering anything more then a fourth round. I would rather reach at a pick 40 from the wafl/safl/vfl that could fill the role.

Whatever happened to Wade Skipper?

With a name like Wade he was always going to struggle

Poor Lynchy could not take a trick. I reckon he would hit the wooden post holding up the banner if he tried running through one .

We need another ruck badly. One that can actually play ok. Going in with an injury prone Reeves and Lynch is gonna end up in pain very quickly.

 

[westhawk]

Perhaps we envision him as a David Hale type but I haven’t seen enough vision to know if he has the forward craft.

He is nothing like Hale. Has no forward craft at all. Just a big lumbering ruck. Have said it many times on here, that he looks good in the WAFL as not much competition.

He may have no forward craft but he can kick goals.

Happy for freo to keep Meek.

Maybe we can swoop on Grundy and Bruhn, as current club trades have broken down.

Mitchell for Grundy
Future early second for Bruhn

I feel like Grundy gets done, the Dees list manager when he was interviewed a couple days ago said Grundy would be a Dee and they are working through that with Collginwood. Almost certain that one gets done.

Would rather have a look at Brayden Crossley, he's effort for Southport in all finals was definitely something all AFL players should try and achieve.

Keitel is a tall forward not a ruck. Be good depth with Gunston gone. He trained with Freo and WCE this year

What, to replace Monkey on the snakes jar? He is nowhere near AFL fit and would need to lose 10kgs minimum

Although I do like the meat grinder type of ruckman as we are short on alphas in the team

Averaged 0.4 goals a game this year and 3 of those came in last game of regular season against Swan Districts when Peel won by about 100 points.

For those saying about state league rucks, Harry Boyd for Norwood won the Norm Smith equivalent in the SANFL. Tapped it to the guy that kicked the winning goal in the last 30secs of the GF too.

Oh yeah, and no one got close to him for hitouts

With the Lions struggling to satisfy the Dogs for Dunkley, I wonder if there’s a way for us to capitalise on that. Would we be happy to give up pick 24 for Darcy Wilmot, and would Brisbane’s future 1st plus pick 24 be enough to satisfy the Dogs for Dunkley??

They wouldn't deal Wilmot for that pick and also they already have 21 so can offer that with future 1st which is better anyway

But they need to hold all their picks for points.
I do agree though that pick 24 is prob unders for Darcy. They will need to give something up to get everything they want.

He's 198 way too short for a ruck in the AFL, hell people on this board think DGB is too short as KPD at 196cm.

 

[Luke_Hodgey_15]

But we have to trade him for a pick in the 30’s because the 4 times he doesn’t hit a target out of the 40 times he gets it is the reason we’re not winning games

I think him floating across the hbf asking for short kick when he isnt the bloke you want trying to hit the 45 inside the corridor is a significant reason as to why we arent winning games. not the 7 15 meter kicks he hits out on a wing

No thanks, he's already served a 12 month ban for cocaine use.

Kieran Strachan is an interesting name, Al though I’m sure we would’ve heard his name raised if he was likely to move. I’ve seen a heap of Crows supporters that rate him higher than ROB and think he should be their no.1 ruck. They were adamant he’d be poached through the off season.

Because we really need another back flanker!
