Yeah, worst ruckman I can recall seeing at afl level imo is what I said. Small difference, but one worth noting apparently as some took issue with my wording so I rephrased it to make it clear. Not clear enough obviously.

Regardless, we are going to be needing a number 1 ruck in the next year or 2 when Jacobs is done and obrien isn't the answer.

There were rumours before the season started that Grundy had told Collingwood he was considering joining us in free agency, and that Collingwood were workshopping the idea of doing a deal built around the Carlton pick a year early to avoid weak compensation, but there's a non zero chance that's his manager playing the bigger contract offer game.

So all last year the media were screaming about how Port didn't have a viable backup for Ryder.

The leader of the bunch.
We've recruited goalkicking small forwards; we just refuse to play them.
We need a ruck, another intercept defender, another top end mid, and most of all, a key forward who can crash a pack.

Geelong isn't a top team, and Rhys Stanley is in no way a top ruckman, and he was jumping 2 feet over O'Brien at every centre bounce.

Nah, it's a team game Marty, they win as a collective, they lose as a collective.
They certainly have been the in form team of the competition so far that have won their games in convincing fashion. Can't argue that point.
Stanley might not be a star but no one can deny that he is a very athletic player who can jump over the top of many players, let alone ROB who struggles to jump over a stubbie

Where did you hear these rumours? I ask, because I'm only familiar with Tom Rehn's very recent rumour, and some bigfooty conjecture.

Omitted: Marshall. In: Sam Gray. LOL
Don't we have one of those currently playing in defence in the SANFL?
Had a foot injury in the pre-season and is in the SANFL to gain fitness. After last nights performance, assuming he gets through the SANFL match this weekend I reckon he'll be back for round 4.
The modern ruckman is basically a super athlete - one who can ruck and play in both defense or attack depending on team needs.
ROB needs to be better at kicking for goals, otherwise no point him clucking marks up forward and spraying them out of bounds! His effort is encouraging enough to warrant a few more games to see if this can be improved.

Ignore that moron !!
No full of s**t rumour. AFC coaches only has a say in the type of player they would like in the draft, they don't get the final decision, This was put in place early 2000's due to some Coaches overriding the selection process and stuffing it up. They do have a some say on releasing a players for trade
And Gallucci returning from injury and has to prove his match fitness.

I wonder if obrien will get a gig next week in the big league based on his performance on the weekend and all that development sanders and others mentioned he has made in the sanfl... And if the AFC have as much faith as those in here in obrien being the future number 1 ruck for us long term.
