It seems a lot of the kids we have training with us are small. Seems they are competing for one spot given we already have a heap of sub-6 footers.

Notice Burgan has Luke Thompson at pick 7. At least he's another tall if we drafted that way.

I'd be wrapped with Majak Daw also we don't have many rucks and he's a genuine live-wire


Except that he's not a ruckman Popelord.  He's only 193-194cms tall.

Interesting to see Mitch Thorp not rated at all to go as a rookie.

Has been pretty hard to prove himself to another club when he got stress fractures in his foot while training at Melbourne

He's rucked all his Junior career his leap is phenomenal and arm span is bigger than average. And he's a mountain of a man.

Key word in all that is junior.

He will not be an AFL ruckman.

If we can throw Polak into the ruck you'd think Majak could have a go in there also

You can throw anyone into the ruck you like but it doesn't make them AFL standard.

If you get Majak you groom him to be a forward or a tall midfielder, not a ruckman.
