Essendon need two rucks! Don't think we get a look in

I doubt recruiters see Floyd as a ruck, more as an extremely athletic quick leading 200cm Tall Forward that can chop out in ruck, played more ruck last year because the Rebels lead ruck Flynn Penry was injured up until the Nationals and pretty much why Burmeister played ruck for Vic Country.
This year Burmeister's played forward at the Rebels with Chad Finck doing the bulk of rucking and played tall forward for Vic Country and lit up the VC vs VM trials on the weekend where he'll likely play at the Nationals.

 

[Mutineer]

Would be shocked if Crossley isn’t Bombers-bound

Burmeister is a project for the future, he's not likely playing AFL this season or next.

 

[conVINCEd]

Remember the time where we used our MSD pick on a teenage jockey

He was clearly the best available option*

*aside from the ruck prospect who we then tried to trade for : /

Year Burmeister is a project for the future, he's not likely playing AFL this season or next.

Agree we should. This guy was talked about as the likely number one pick in the MSD though in one of the footy shows this week (or may have been Gettable)

Well not just him

Weird that we ended up with a couple of those drafted after him both arguably better

That Jacob Edwards selection doesn't look good.

That Jacob Edwards selection doesn't look good.

Was weird. He was the consensus pick them did absolutely nothing

Who can we need to get to make our squad better?

A ruck and a new coach

 

[1990crow]

Who can we need to get to make our squad better?

Coach.
Ruck.
Key defender.
Midfield.
Small forward.
Wing.

 

[imagifED]

Coach.
Ruck.
Key defender.
Midfield.
Small forward.
Wing.

De Koning/Gawn - mobility in the midfield, around the ground work, decent ruckwork
Moore/Pearce - general down back
Bontempelli - general in the midfield, aggression
Pickett - loose ball and forward pressure
NWM - distribution
types
So many needs.

 

[NTRabbit]

We need A ruck, as Strachan should not return, and realistically O'Brien should not be offered a new contract, but how much we spend on a ruck and whether we go for top line or development depends on us playing McAdnrew the rest of the season to find out what he is.

Nathan Wisteria Manganeen is who we should be pursuing for the wing.

We should only pursue a key defender if we can find one in the 198-203cm range who is gettable, otherwise I'm ok to let it sit for a year.

Still need a top line midfielder, even if Draper breaks out of the coaching chains to have a breakout season next year.

Coach is of course a given.

Think you will find a coach who plays to players strengths is the biggest impediment rather than the playing group

 

[1990crow]

Ruck - Draper
Wing - Wanganeen-Milera
KPD - no obvious targets. Probably need to stick with Keane and hope he develops.
Midfield - don't have the capital to fix. Maybe target someone end of 2026. Sam Walsh

Draper is going to cost huge money, and off an Achilles injury.

Huge risk for a guy who isn't that good

I'm desperate.

No. Keane definitely has to be moved on. You can't fix his flaws. A dumb footballer with no natural instinct is always going to be a liability.

I'm all outta ideas on fixing that one in any hurry though.

I’d throw at a fair bit at Paul Curtis.

Is he out of contract?

Would be a good get.
