i liked the comment just then by the commentator he suggested that maybe we should bring morton back in even if its just to support riewoldt and at the end of the year let him know then if his still not in our plan.

Not too sure where he is sitting in the afl goal kicking but for playing ina crap side the amount of goals he is kicking is amazing

Nothing more important than a ruckman.peroid.
Our biggest pain is caused from not having ANY!

astbury needs more match fitness and muscle but he's showing signs.  very clean below the knees, and a very accurate kick too.  i still remember a couple of seasons ago when jack was easily outmuscle by defenders, but he's certainly starting to stand up in terms of body contest.  hopefully astbury follows the same path.  

and then there's griffiths, can't wait for him to get right and come in for a bit more size in the forwardline.  quick, long and accurate kick as well.

taylor is recovering from a medial knee injury


we need a key defender, another key forward (hopefully griffiths comes on) a bloody good ruckmen and another midfielder as i think cuz is finished

Will be interested to read the Crawford article in the Sunday Sun, apparently about Robert Campbell the ex-hawks ruckman who now feels great and thinks he may have pulled the pin too early.

Agree. Half our problem from kick ins is because we don't have a ruck who is going to win contested marking contests. Would you kick to Graham/Ryder or Vickery/Hille?

Every single time we have to try and chip it around until we see something in the corridor

Disappointing comment Ox when you don't know the circumstances. You've made an assumption that is so far aff the mark.

"gets a little down so he's allowed to go back..."

I don't think being allowed to go home when you've lost the family member who raised you is wrong 

Perhaps I should have been a little more open in my original post. As I said & I will repeat it was for compassionate reasons and IMHO definitely valid

This will be the last time I reply to one of your insipid, ignorant and worthless posts again. You are disgusting and the lowest form of life there is. Your post makes this forum look like we condone racism .. sorry WP, OE and MT but this is a disgrace.

Edited the first time, I could just imagine, "They're prehistoric,undisciplined imbeciles", perhaps you are, you obviously had not worked or been involved with any of the blood groups (that would be tribe to you) have you. I have been involved with Aboriginals for my life and you have no idea of their ethics.

You are a disgrace and you should be ashamed of your comments.

The tolerance for racist & homophobic comments on this forum (and to be fair a lot of footy forums) is well behind the times.

Mods should set a higher standard and deal out harsher punishments IMO

I will call it on this forum and yes I know it's up to the mods but; this person should be banned, enough is enough. These comments are of the highest insult to not only Aboriginals but to us as well.

Go away Ox or what ever they call you, you are not a hero by continually making racist comments and personaly attacking people on this forum.

You have derailed this thread as you always do and thats about your contribution to this forum. You are a disgrace and should be.....work it out!!

Funny that you should mention that Tucker, because I saw Benny in the crowd at a Pixies concert at the Myer Music Bowl three years ago, and asked him the very same question.
He laughed off the suggestion back then, so I can't see him warming to it now.

Astbury, Griffiths and Taylor could all develop into dangerous forwards to support Jack but the probability is that only one or two of these will and only after a similiar time frame that Jack himself has followed (3-4 years). Until then players such as Morton, Rance and even Polak are important for Jack's development and our teams current success. Gus proved last week that if we had someone of his size down their taking the focus slightly off Jack it helps immeasurably. Many have said it on here but why not bring Browne in along with Gus and Vickery and you have a forward, a resting ruckman and a ruck all rotating in one side.

Astbury will be a gun like Reiwoldt  :thumbsup
I don't think Reiwoldt did much in tiger colours in his first year. Astbury is just finding his feet. Both are very similar players. Smart, good leap and mark, 195cm tall, good on both feet. When Griffiths arrives, our forward line will terrorise opposition defences especially once Morton comes back a better defensive forward and Taylor finds his feet. Teams will be pooing their pants containing this forward line:

FF: Morton Griffiths Reiwoldt
HF: Taylor Astbury Nason

Once Post find his feet he'll take CHB and Gourdis may hold down another spot in defence. Thursty and Mcguane will keep working on the weights and become better players. Mcguane needs to kick long more often and he'll cut errors out of his game. Connors will boost the defence and I think Tambo has to play in defence again instead of being wasted up forward. This will allow Lids to play midfield again. Defence should look like this:

HB: Connors Post Mcguane
FB: Newman Thursfield Tambling
with Gourdis coming off the bench  8)

Another forward to support Jack would be nice but what I would like to see is our midfield kick some goals. I watch almost every other team, especially the top sides, and their midfields kick plenty.

Maybe the coaches plan is to work on the players defensive skills and the offensive skills will come in time. We don't seem to have any goalkicking midfielders other than lids and he is playing across halfback this year.

Either way... NO!
We already have Riewoldt, plus Griffiths & Astbury in development for the forward line, that's quite a few talls to fit in as it is.
We should get another class tall with Pick 4 this year, hopefully Day but possibly Darling.
So we focussed on the forward line with last year's draft, we need to focus on best available with Pick 4, then defence and midfield with the rest of our picks. No trading our picks away for recycled players! We need to trade away our middle of the road players for more picks!

I Think we need a ruckman more than another midfielder, maybe a KPP as well and then look for a midfielder late in the draft. I would expect to see Nason come into the centre over the next year or so. I think it was during the Lepitch interview (Saturday I think) that they could not believe the distance Nason had covered during one of the games when they downloaded his GPS. Perhaps with a good pre-season in the gym who knows.

It should be best available with Pick 4, with a preference towards talls.
So if at Pick 4 Day and Darling are both gone, then that means GC has taken Swallow, Day & Darling with the first 3 picks
That leaves us the chance to take the best midfielder in the draft (other than Swallow who is a HBF/mid)
I'd suggest that means someone like Gaff, but will know more after the championships

I think we should be able to get a reasonable ruckman with our 2nd pick. It's not like there will be another Natanui available. Vickery is very young still and a couple of years off being very competitive. I wouldn't mind someone like Hampson on our list. We probably need a ruckman who is at least 22 years old. Wouldn't be that bad an idea to swap a 2nd or 3rd pick in this situation.

Given we should be getting picks 4, 26 & 28, I'd like one of the 2nd rounders to be used for a ruckman, however it needs to still be a best available situation if there's no talls worth taking with those picks.

Totally agree on Hampson. We should make him an offer he cannot refuse just like Sydney did with Mumford. Target him, pay him overs and resolve our ruck problems once and for all, just get him to the club. He is a good ruckmen, not great but perfect for us- big, strong and has a little of the angries about him.

We don't even need a tall forward. Must get a midfielder. Think we have enough defensive options too.

I Think we need a ruckman more than another midfielder, maybe a KPP as well and then look for a midfielder late in the draft. I would expect to see Nason come into the centre over the next year or so. I think it was during the Lepitch interview (Saturday I think) that they could not believe the distance Nason had covered during one of the games when they downloaded his GPS. Perhaps with a good pre-season in the gym who knows.

We would love another Dustin Martin in the middle  ;D
I think we should be able to get a reasonable ruckman with our 2nd pick. It's not like there will be another Natanui available. Vickery is very young still and a couple of years of being very competitive. I wouldn't mind someone like Hampson on our list. We probably need a ruckman who is at least 22 years old. Wouldn't be that bad an idea to swap a 2nd or 3rd pick in this situation.
Totally agree on Hampson. We should make him an offer he cannot refuse just like Sydney did with Mumford. Target him, pay him overs and resolve our ruck problems once and for all, just get him to the club. He is a good ruckmen, not great but perfect for us- big, strong and has a little of the angries about him.

I think the Hardwick regime although not proven as yet would rather use the pick on a draft than trade one away for a ruckman whose career is in twilight ie Josh Fraser. Hampson would be great for us but his value will be overinflated by the Cheats. Anyway lets see what is available and take it from there. Plenty of time till October bit yes it is nice to dream.
