Ruckman Needed / Cam Wood and Orren Stephenson training with Richmond
« on: October 12, 2012, 08:39:06 AM »
I think we have done well during the trade and free agency period however I do believe we should of targeted a ruckman as well. Even if we have the chance to get one now we should go for it. If Maric goes down next year we just don't have the coverage. If we were playing Freo without Maric we would get smashed in the ruck, Maric could only just compete against Sandilands last year, imagine what would happen if he weren't in the side.

I see this area as our only Achilles heal now, I really think we need to address it.....

Thoughts??

He would be a perfect fit, hasn't he re-signed though?

You do know that Angus Graham is undefeated against Fremantle? Including a very solid 14 disposal, 6 marks and 1 goal game against them in 2011.
Also, I think it's safe to say maric got his pants pulled down when he went up against Sandi. He's not the first victim though.

Some will laugh but we cannot afford to let Goose leave unless we get someone like Stefan Martin as cover, but who wants to play twos all year?

He is probably the best performed ruckman not playing regular AFL footy. If he wasn't on a list our supporters would probably look at his stats in the VFL and say "get this bloke as back up to Maric" ;D
Goose is capable of better footy. He showed that at a young age in 2010. Got far too comfortable though

Don't be talking about Achilles heel, What about Tom Derickx, he played 2's all last year, is mobile, agile, tall and can kick, perhaps he is our RIW (Ruckman in waiting)

I think he should have stood on Sandis turf toe, mind you Sandis boots are as proportionate as Krusty The Clowns shoes.

That aside I think we have been very keen on getting a lot of young big units in then losing patience waiting for them to mature. We got it right last year identifying Ivan after another club couldn't see the gold. We just have to get another one from somewhere or be patient with our own stocks.
