Ivan had 7 clearances and 3 centre clearances from his own ruckwork last night.

15 disposals (10 contested, 80% efficiency)
2 marks
7 clearances (centre 3, stoppage 4)
23 hitouts
3 tackles
2 rebound 50s
1 inside 50



And he cleans up the changerooms after the game. Big Ivan can do everything  ;D.

Very good player is Ivan so I do wonder where is our next Ivan going to come from??

A scary proposition to think our next best ruck is hammer

Agree with this on the condition we clear his fitness. We have hopefully learnt our lesson about recruiting broken bodies with potential
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Just on that, what is Soldo doing? Has he been playing anywhere?

If we got Kruezer and he stayed fit it'd be great but I fear he would just be a more expensive replacment for Knights in our rehab group and not sure we can afford that. Be interesting to see if & when he comes back this year whether he can stay on the park and also how he plays.

What is this obsession with Kreuzer? Sounds like people want to chase a player just for the sake of doing 'something'.

He hasn't played football with any consistency since 2013, and even then he was a B grade ruckman. B+ at best.


There is nothing relevant (IE recent) to suggest he will be any better a recruit than Hampson. Just like Knights - it of a has-been all broken down with injury.

the obsession is outside maric we only have:

Soldo, Ivan (R)   
Hampson, Shaun   
Griffiths, Benjamin   
Vickery, Tyrone
   

Soldo is a long shot. Hampson is a potato. If griffiths reaches his potential you would want him in the forward line promdinatly as to not break him.

Leaving only tyrone, who i like in the ruck, but has (massive) question marks still.

ideally, we would have a former #1 draft pick like kreuzer or a very high draft pick like nicnat, leunburger to replace maric. sadly they do not grow on trees.

pretty sure andy was questioning the who, not the why?

We really should have targeted Longer over Hampson

Younger, developing can take a grab  ;D

Would have been a much better option long term IMHO

We need to try and find one like that a this year's trade period

Would love to target Sinclair from the eagles.  A lot of upside there and a Victorian boy as well.  One of my colleagues knew the family.  All the boys could play a bit but young Callum was far and away the best of them.
