Next thing he'll be saying is that we need a tertiary colour to distinguish ourselves from Collingwood.

Expert list manager my arse. What kind of ******* title is that anyway? What a wanker, Wallace is. How does he even continue to be employed? Rucci has more football brains than he.

Terry Wallet on what he thinks of our rucks:

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport...-another-ruckman/story-fnahrqwo-1226495703138

"Lobbe's the best of them but I'm not convinced they've got somebody who can really compete and do it at the absolute top level. And if they are going to give this group of midfielders they've got the best opportunity, they either need Lobbe to step up or find who that ruckman for the future is going to be."

Does anyone here seriously think Lobbe is our best ruck? Our depth could always be improved... no mention in the article of who could come in. Didn't sound like the club was chasing Giles at all.

I think Wallace is just trying to exploit the last fragments of limelight left from when he was thrown up as a possibility for the Port job. Safest thing to do is just ignore him and let him fade away again.

The more Lobbe does the better he gets even though both he and Redden are well short of 50 games they are still better than any other option likely to become available ...and not a real concern, its still the midfield

Don't most good smaller players start coming to prominence around 70-100 games? As in where their impact starts to become important and consistently so?

How many games have Lobbe and Redden played?

If we want our ruck options to "come on", Terrence, we need to actually play them.

Depends on how you look at it. If you look at trading for a ruckman who goes straight in for knee surgery, it looks silly. But he posted good numbers when he did play, so looking forward to him hopefully being fit for next year.

Also looking forward to Burgess working with Redden and turning him into a monster.

I also think it's too early to call a 'fail' on Renouf.
yep the knee injury he had turned out to be alot worse than expected and when he did play he was pretty hindered.

Had patella tendon surgery i think in Round 19 so i think once he gets over that, gets a full pre-season in then he will be fine

I saw glimpses of really good football in the games he did get to play in the mid season, and did alot more than both Redden and Lobbe especially in the hitout department

He's almost like the forgotten man of Port. He might surprise us next year. He certainly isnt a dud and has definitely not "failed"

NUFC, YES.
just doing some research on redden and came across this

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/tea...making-it-redden/story-e6frf9mo-1226412767338

hadnt read it before, wow

*edit - why the **** does capel need to bring the 2007 grand final into this?
LOL yes.

One month before the Power was due to play in its infamous, record-breaking 2007 AFL grand final loss to Geelong, Redden - a star junior footballer and basketballer - decided to "have some fun" with rabbits on land behind his family's 40-acre property.

"6 years and a fortnight after 9/11..." would've been just as relevant, given Redden flies on a jet every other week.

Seriously though.

What is a club in our list management phase doing taking a ruckman with an existing knee issue?

If he has another year where he can't get off the ground and is inevitably delisted, does Rohde finally go then?

I think Terry Wallace is trying to set up Angus Graham as a trade option for Ben Jacobs.

Oh and I turned onto MMM for about 10 seconds and it was just long enough to hear Jarman suggest to Dittmar we should recruit Fevola and Dittmar actually agreed. Aaaarrggghhh!

Dittmar is scarily silly. He used to constantly whine about Rodan/Thomas not being picked because they always put it on the line unlike other players.

He's just a nuff nuff. I switched from AA to MMM for games to get away from Crowie.... but in his own numpty way Dittmar is worse because he has no understanding of the game and is basically the embodiment of a facebook commentator.
