just said on SEN today that the pies have been talking to clark keating and he was down here last week for a physical?

seems to be a good ruckman with a few years left in him yet.
killed us in 2 gf's.

bye guys

It would depend on who we draft in the ND. If we got say, Kurt Tippett, I don't think we'll take Keating.
 
Nah, I wouldnt touch him.

He is a spent force,slow & not what we need @ present.

I know we are desperate for a nother ruckman but SURELY there must be better options available.

Please no - whilst there are only5-6 rucks ever taken in a draft this year there is probably 6-7 quality ones;

Leuenberg
Goldstein
Tippett - fwd as well
Jacobs
Hampson
Currie
Renouf

Equally there are kids at the bottom of the draft I would rather take. IF we took him get rid of Walker.
 
I was at the VIS and saw clark keating at the lexus centre. he may have just been for social reasons though - he was having a coffee with Brad Scott who i think is an assistant coach with you guys now.
 
Keep in mind, we would be getting him for free and he hasn't played much footy in recent times so his body would be fresher than few - however he's injury prone. He's an experienced 'bash and crash' ruckman whose played in 2 premiership sides.
What isn't their to like
 
keating on 3aw today said himself he had been to lexus centre for a test and a talk
also said had spoken to saints - straight from horses mouth no rumour
thats where sen probally got it from
 
Guys he is exactly what we need in the interim.Especially with Walker going (if that rumour is true).Keating is that boom crash ruckman we need to help josh and to allow time for say someone like a tippet or renouf to blossom or whoever we pick up in the national draft.He killed us in 2 grand finals.If the pies have given him an all clear after the physical we got to get him,plus we get him cheap might have to give up pick 70 something .At the moment a side who we pick up in the national draft.I would pick Keating over cam cloke(3 shoulder reco's not a good sign at 20)Trsitan the dud walker, Fanning,Guy richards.Richards could be another back up.So if we got Keating we would have Richards ,josh, and pick 28 (ruckman from Nat draft),....suddenly our ruck divisions don't look too bad,at least with Keating...he is experienced rough and tough this is what we need also releases josh up forward with Richards as the back up.MISSION .....GET KEATING
