Bugger Minson, let's get Roughhead! He is running around in the Magoo's and fits our mold perfectly...

That's why I was advocating getting Blake in the event of failing to do better anywhere else because at least he would be competitive at clearances.

I don't think we can go on with the ruck set up we have and get anywhere.

Blake is a tap ruckman and would at least guarantee us first use of the ball if we recruited him unlike the duds we have got now

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.

Agree.

Yep, we really need a decent ruckman and Trengove. Trengove and Vickory to pinch hit in the ruck, Vicks to play forward and Trengove to play back. But we must get a ruckman.

For me the question is, and I hate to say it this way as Im still young enough NOT to see a successful Richmond side, but would we get more benefit of looking for a key ruckmen next year as opposed to this year? Outside of maybe Bellchambers (who Im not sold on is the answer, though better than current) and Zac Clarke (same as Bellchambers) is there anyone we have a legitimate chance of getting? Dunno if Trengove is a ruckman. Don't think Clarke is worth the money we'd have to pay him. MacIntosh maybe - but I doubt we will get him. Still holding onto hope that a fully fit Derickx with a full pre-season could be the guy... But again, too many questions.

According to a caller on SEN today, David King also said that we would win up to 14 games per year if we had a top quality ruckman (he expects us to finish with 8 wins this year btw).

According to me David King is a flog. I expect he will continue to be one in the future btw.
