we should be doing everything we can to grow our own. if that fails and we become a top 4 side then by all means go out and trade for one.

Yep, the other side of that is that I reckon a good side can make an average ruckman look like a great one.

why would wce spend such a high pick on a ruckman when they have cox and natanui.
Because Cox isn't far from retirement? Once Cox retires Lycett will have had a few years development and can step right in as NicNat's #2

Considering we wanted both Darling & Lycett, it would have been interesting to see who Francis Jackson would have picked if he had both available.

This thread will get bumped up most weeks but another game another spanking in the ruck. BrownE tried all day but a second-stringer like Seaby was made to look like Simon Madden  :P. That other sad thing is the Swans have their first choice ruckman in Mumford to come back in while we are desperately searching for at least one quality ruckman  :P.

David King (yeah I know) last night on 3aw said Richmond couldn't afford to wait until our list matures to then go after a mature decent ruckman. Instead we need to go after one this year because if we don't it will hinder the development of our talented young midfielders such as Martin.

But even a half wit could work that out - as king's statement proves

I think we have shown that as a club we fail at developing Ruckmen! The only one who came close was Ottens and we never seen his full potential! The only decent rucks i can recall having were traded to us like Staff and Simmonds!
Can anyone think of a decent ruckman we have drafted and developed? Benny Gale?

Media are speculating that Will Minson is likely going to be traded by the Bulldogs

Anyone think it's worth looking at as a short term solution?
