Cats being so desperate forced us to add the third year

At that point I would have let him go to the cats for a four year deal lol. That offer is ridiculous

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Cats seemed desperate offering 4 years

We haven't had a good ruckman since 2011 and it shows. Of course we're desperate. All the best to him.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

It doesn't reflect well on Smith/Abbott.

Both free to good home

They will be gone and I dont have a problem with that...

What’s the solution for next year, assuming you pick up a ruck in the draft for the long-term.

Stanley and Fort with Sav as back up, their is really only 7-8 teams that have good rucks so we can go for another either young ruck or top up from a state league.

Large bullet dodged. Phew

Stanley for the next few years. Once big Esava has the tank and has built his body enough for regular ruck work he's our long term ruck in my book. He's probably 2-3 seasons from being ready for that. Basically the length of the contract we threw at Goldy matches that. Unless Sav starts slotting goals as a forward in the meantime which would mean we'd trade for a ruck instead

 

[Wild Bill]

So glad he finishes with us. Such a good durable ruckman that can ruck 90% of games. Our midfield the big winner today.

Gives us plenty of time to develop Xerri.

 

[GoGeta]

The only player linked to us that I actually wanted, not for 800k a year or w/e he was on but at a reasonable price for sure.

So basically the same shitty ruck situation we have had over the past decade for the next few years at minimum, geez that sounds awesome!

Hence desperate

There’s surely a few decent mature rucks running around at the secondary levels.

It's not translating. Abbott was a good GFL pick up, Fort was the best in the SANFL. Neither are cutting it currently

Cats offered 4 years!!!

 

[branedotorg]

Was good this year but three years at his age?

Sam Jacobs will get 2 maybe 3 if he moves.

Kreuzer was cooked a lot more than three years ago but you guys keep wheeling him out.

 

[Gold Rocks]

Jeez a 3 year deal for an almost cooked Goldy is recipe for disaster.

Was a good player but is heading towards cooked. This could be a terrible contract to have on the books specially if he gets injuries.

Hasn't missed a game in two years which have been two of the best of his career. Richmond have Cotchin on the books for as long. if you wanted to see what cooked looks like, check out the decline in his stats.

He just came 3rd in our B&F and still one of the best rucks in the comp. Cats offering 4 years shows how cooked he is.

Hats off to him for his career but he looks the type with all those miles he will just decline quickly.

Posters were saying the same thing 3 years ago. He is super fit and still able to ruck 90% of game time.

Don't be surprised if he does though being the work horse all those years.

How much money did you guys offer him?
