There has been alot of talk that Richmond and Hawthorn are going to draft a ruckman in the PSD which one's are they going to draft?

With Blake Knobel Keating Porter Mckee Ackland and others available alot are going to miss out. ST Kilda you would think would draft 1, is there any other teams short a ruckman?

As a bulldogs supporter, i'd most definetly take Keating if he still out of contract. Would work very well with Darcy. Knobel is a good ruckman but useless around the ground. Where is keating could be a good rotation with darcy going forward and playing in the ruck.

The only ones i would take is Blake or Keating, and with our current situation, i would only take Blake, but at 189cm, he is extremely small ruckman, so rather draft someone else in the pre-season.

its interesting that there are so many ruckmen going into the pre season draft.. SOme will undoubtedly miss out

You would think Keating, Knobel would be to of the list. Looks like Ackland will be with the POrt Magpies next season

With Mckee talking to Richmond, I find it really strange that Knobel walked on the saints, he may not get picked up

With keating being 29, ackland seems the best risk to me.

Saints to pickup Ackland in the National.possibly pick 33.
of the rest i hope we pick up Blake but not purely as a Rucking backup.
the hawks id say they would have their eye on Blake for more or less the same reason as the tigers.if he,s gone id say they may not go for a knobel.
If keating walks Knobel may find himself back at Brisbane.

cheers!

Blake does suprisingly well as a ruckman. he gets quit a few hitouts and more importantly is very useful around the ground. i've been impressed with him this season.

Blake has supposedly re signed for 2 years.
