1. Nank
Hopefully a couple seasons left.
2. Sims.
3. Hayes-Brown
Getting better. 63 hit-outs one vfl game, others 40+
4. Ryan.
Obviously limited but as fine the 4th ruck for one more year.
Fawcett. Lefau break glass emergency options. I don't see the point of another stop gap ruck ahead of a kid with upside.
All that said they prob take Burton.
Nank established but ageing and gets quite beat up most years.
The idea that our #2 ruck is a teenager with 1 year under his belt and coming off surgery is concerning.
OHB untried at AFL level altogether.
Ryan with clear deficiencies and not looking promising at all.
Fawcett in the ruck?
Lefau also coming off another injury-riddled year.
I don't agree that we're set to go or that an 18yo undrafted kid is the answer for the medium term. We would definitely benefit from having a bloke aged 23-28 on the list with some proper ruck experience.
