Has anyone got a list and report on ruckmen available in state leagues and during the draft. Be interesting to see what is out there.

May seem like a left field one but could we go after John Griffin from Freo? Is he contracted? He seems pretty good and gets little game time with freo. Hate to think what we would have to give up in trade? Maybe we could offer McGuane and Jackson?

I had him in my Supercoach, he was pretty awesome when he could actually get a game.

He's contracted and the only reason he went to Freo is because he wanted to go back to W.A. He only left Adelaide 2 seasons ago....Again he would be a player we would have to pay overs for to get him :whistle

I'm really warming to Liam McBean with one of our 30's picks.

 :lol....well I for one was not convinced trading him was that smart, I would of been happier to see him go for a replacement ruckman. Time will tell I suppose, I just don't like going into the season with one ruckman.....proven ruckman... :-\

when was last time we went into a season with more that one proven ruckman?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?
