It'll be up to Worsfold whether he sticks with Seaby as second ruck even though there's the possibility of Seaby might walk out at the end of year after wanting to be traded this year OR he goes with Cox/Naitanui who'll be a longer term ruck combo. Nat is a different player to Vickery and Kreuzer. The latter two doesn't have the athleticism and leap of Nat but they are both more natural footballers who are ruck/forwards and it's more a case of them bulking up so their bodies can cope with the battering against older, bigger and more experienced ruckmen in the AFL. The Blues will wreck Kreuzer if the use him too much in the ruck like Collingwood did with Josh Fraser. That's why they chased hard after Warnock. We don't have that issue with Simmo, Patto and Gus able to allow Vickery and Browne for that matter the opportunity to develop in their own time as ruckmen and in Vickery's case to play mainly forward in his development years.
