No need for that, back on topic please.

Why aren't we looking at:
Bugg
Townsend
Redden
Suckling
Carlisle
Henderson
Tomlinson
Talia
Schoenmakers
Leuenberger
Redden
Smith
Honestly I'd even go so far as to throw the whole kitchen at Hogan. Tell him $1million/year for 8 years or something stupid.

I don't, but these are mostly high profile players and it's not often they get traded without any information leaking beforehand.
Do you have any knowledge to the contrary?

from what I heard today
Bugg to Melbourne
Carlisle to Saints
Henderson to Cats
Tomlinson to Blues
Luenberger to Essendon
and...
Sinclair to swans for Jetta
also Craig Bird to be traded from swans to ??
-
..and Redden to West Coast...Smith to Geelong...
-
No point crying over things...we tried for treloar,Bennel,Hannebury..and we missed out for whatever reason..
Maybe for a second straight season we go to the draft and a few seasons down the track we have a smorgasboard of guns.
But then again trade week hasnt even started yet
-
We also failed on Tyson, Armitage, Shiel.
Have to wonder what the issue is...

how did our backline perform this year, all BS and bluster aside ::)

Harley Bennell could announce that Fremantle as his club of choice as early as today.
Bennell is being offered a 3 year deal from the Dockers.

Is the reason, we are apparently not in for a ruck or key defender

“We have two needs that we have identified
— one a rebounding defender, which is hopefully (Carlton’s) Chris Yarran,
and the other is an inside midfielder,” Tigers football boss Dan Richardson said on Friday.
“Ideally we would have liked to have got an elite mid like (Adam) Treloar, but that’s not going to happen.
“You never say never, but the reality is we’ve been connected to everyone. Some of it’s true and some of it’s not. If we can bring those two players in we’ll be quite happy.”

The Tigers are not in the market for a ruckman and will back Ivan Maric and Shaun Hampson for another season.
“It’s probably something we’ve got to address over the next 12 to 18 months, but at this stage Ivan is obviously still our No.1 ruckman,” Tigers' boss Dan Richardson said.
“We brought Shaun in a couple of years ago to be that taller option. He’s had some injury and (issues with) durability, but he’s also showed signs here of improving. We need to back that in.”

Couldn't agree more.
Stuffing Amatuers who have each others backs to protect jobs.
The incompetence and lack of accountability is just stunning

Stuff me

There ya go matey. Confirmation we aren't looking at rucks and KPP's. Only an inside mid and a rebounding HBF.
Personally I'd be chasing all of these positions. Yarran HBF, Townsend InMid, Smith ruck, Tomlinson KPP.
Crazy that DR thinks we can just go and address the ruck issue in 12-18 months. Hampson and Maric will probably both be truly finishing in 12-18 months. Not to mention we can't get a new ruckman in '18 months' during the season...
Why aren't we looking at:
Bugg
Townsend
Redden
Carlisle
Henderson
Tomlinson
Talia
Leuenberger
Redden
Smith

I really hope Soldo comes on quick or we're stuffed in the ruck if Maric goes down. Is Soldo even on the list proper? How many VFL games has he played?

You forgot our secret weapon, Hampson. :shh

I was pondering while I was sitting in traffic trying to get home but going nowhere
Now the Bombers have Luenenberger Should we consider Jon Giles ex Giant who Bombers bought in this season, that Hird wouldn't play?
He was a reasonable ruckman for the Giants. Even remember a few on here suggesting we should go after him a few years back
Would be a significant upgrade on Hampson as he can actually take a mark around the ground more than once a game
-
Didn't Hammer take 2 against Carlton? :shh

Careful mate, I suggested this and got slammed for it.
Personally I think he's a worthy backup.

Sorry I must have missed that
I would have backed you, reckon as a back up he'd be OK.
He's been treated abysmally by the Bombers. You'd get him for a 4th rounder I reckon

Marks against Carlton are not to be used as evidence.

David Schwarz on SEN:
Dan, any concerns in the ruck? Ivan isn't getting any younger; I know you've brought Shaun Hampson over from Carlton; Ty Vickery can pinch hit in there. Is that something you will look at in the draft, or in the next year or so, to bolster up that position?
Dan Richardson:
At some stage as Ivan gets a little bit older, it's something we will need to continue to look at. We did bring .... well, we thought Ivan had a terrific year. The only time Ivan does at times struggle is, by his own admission, because he's not the tallest ruckman going around compared to those big opposition. That's the reason why we brought Shaun Hampson in a couple of years ago. Through injury and opportunity [lack of], he hasn't quite delivered what we would like to date. But we still think at 25-26 years of age, that there's still improvement in him and we saw that at times in the middle part of the year; then he got injured towards the latter part of the year. We'll back him in - in terms of profile and the type of ruckman we need - you know getting up a bit higher [in the ruck contest], getting us first use of the footy and getting the ball moving forward. We believe he can be that player.

The ruck discussion.
IMHO, sandilands is almost unstoppable, yet freo loses.
First hands in the pill is important, but if you can read the tap what does it matter?
Taps to advantage is an interesting stat, nor all that conclusive.
Prhaps an athletic agile player around 200 is all we need and we have mcbean, vickery, hampson, griffiths, soldo,. Sure none are perfect and all encompassing but the reality is they are our list.
What is the point getting another one?
The only one who is almost avaiilable is Goldstein. Would you throw a bucket of money at him? Eg 5 mill over 5 years?
Inside mids, around 188-190 are probably a better option,??

Tried googling no luck but i recall if is surprisingly low, like less than 40% for Sandilands. Natainui is 20%, i dont know how they calculate the stat though.

when the treloar saga dragged on they said early on they were no longer interested.
we can only speculate as to why. for all we know treloar may have said that if he goes anywhere else it would only be on a one year contract, as Dangerfield did with Geelong.
but rightly or wrongly, they knew their position.
so what would you rather them say?

Do you think it's somewhat 'emo' to declare your self official not a big player in trade week, before it starts?
Seeing as it's one if your favoured topics
-
I guess the
" we won't get a big fish in trade week "
" our good players will just have to play better"
" we are very happy with Chaplin and Hampson"
"We don't rest, vital people before finals, cause pagan is against it"
"Hampson is 25"
(Paraphrased, but not much).
Comments theme of recent times, at least keeps things interesting. Yeah, na, take it one week at a time
-
Club would also have us believe that Townsend "kicks goals from clearances"....has kicked 4 in 28 AFL matches and only 11 in a full NEAFL season last year.....come in spinner...

Re read what your written. It wouldn't pass as queens English.
They conceded defeat on the trelor front prior to trade week.
There was no real chance of getting him as negations wore on, as we had already played our hand.
God knows why. Maybe a similar reason to why we put on te website who we will draft before te event occurs ...
The lunnies are running the nuthouse I tells ya
-
Or just type 'rabbit hole' a few more times , either way :gotigers

* We’re well aware there are times when a taller ruckman, who can get his hand up a bit higher and get the ball going our way, is an area, particularly against opposition taller ruckmen, that we need to look at. That’s the reason we brought Shaun Hampson in two years ago.
* Shaun’s had some injury hiccups and we possibly haven’t backed him enough in terms of selections. But I’m sure we’ll be doing that in 2016. I think he showed signs midway through the year he can be that player. Statistically, in terms of getting first hand on the ball in the ruck contest, he’s as good as any other ruckman out there, even the elite ruckmen in the AFL. Yes, there’s work for him to do around the ground and some other aspects of his game but that’s an area Ivan’s outstanding at. So, if we can get those two to complement each other over the course of the year, a little bit better than perhaps we have over the last 12 months, then we’ve got ruckmen on our list.
* And then we’ve obviously got the likes of Ty and ‘Griff’, and even Liam McBean, who can pinch hit in the ruck too.

OH, so the theory is we get an all round ruckman out of two players?

:huh3 If only he could tap the ball to a teammate or to their advantage most of the time.
In any case, it's highly unlikely for a 27 year old to vastly improve and correct his poor kicking and marking skills.

Delusion & Denial.....it's as if the club's being run by Big Footy posters....

I read it
Shrugged my shoulders and shook my head
And under my breath said
Terrific, just terrific TM

Sheer incompetence if we go into next year with no additions to our ruck or KPD stocks....surely we'll at least rookie another ruck....

If you want some comedy and light hearted relief just read a rfc press release.If these blokes are serious about what they are saying then we will never win a premiership. Sad thing is by their actions they believe the bull shiiite they sprout.
Im surprised there are still bright eyed unthinking little possums out there who lap it all up.
