still think jack hannath from centrals is on our radar,
200cm 104kg 21 yo? could be 22.  had a good yr as a ruckman  against pretty decent opposition. need to do more around the geound get more ball and take a few more marks  but has a good upside  he would be competetive.
probably go late nd should get him with a pick in the 60s.

While there has been speculation Richmond will now look for another ruckman, they will not trade for or use a pick in the national draft as a back-up for Ivan Maric.

Instead, they might consider a mature-aged replacement in the rookie draft as insurance, given they hope Tom Derickx and Tyrone Vickery will help Maric this year.

No mention of the source for this statement... just take it as fact we know at we are talking about.

LMFAO He's an inch away from being delisted. He's even poor in the NEAFL. Might have a breakout year if he plays in the King Island League, though he'd probably get beat by Gus' sisters

Clubs will be keeping an eye on the rule changes when looking at ruckmen. The new no wrestling rules this year and the likely interchange cap in 12 months means clubs will more than ever be looking for versatile types. For us I reckon that means grooming Vickery to become the number one ruckman in 2-3 years, with Elton following a similar development path a few years behind him. Now Graham is gone Derickx will be the go to if We get injuries. We need to add at least another ruckman - id prefer to go for a young bloke we can develop and maybe rookie a 21-22 year old as well (unless their free agency planning has a ruckman in their sights for 2013). With Chaplin coming in the club could even use Graham to pinch as a second ruck if we get a few injuries, but his body has been a bit fragile to give too much load in the ruck.

Griffiths could actually become a very good second ruckman now that height and leap is more of a factor than size. The new rule will hurt us next year imo. Big Ivan is good at wrestling and out positioning his opponent to get the ball down to our mids. With the ew rule players like Nic Nat, Sandilands and Jacobs will dominate further as they will be able to jump over stationary opponents (Nic Nat) or use their reach exclusively. Ivan is not a tall man in comparison to these ruckman and will have to block their run to compete.

Conversely, this is why Griffiths, with springs in his knees but with little size about him, could benefits from the rule. Vickery possibly too. :thumbsup
