Not saying he was good this year but I'd rather have the Big O than Wood. I remember that first quarter against Hawthorn this year where Geelong destroyed the Hawks out of the middle with Stephenson in the ruck. Mind you he went missing after that lol as the Hawks came back to just fall short against the Cats.

Terrific, just terrific TM

A big NO to the Big O...man this clapped out second rate bum wasnt even that good at vfl level in 2012.

It wasn't too long  ago that wood was one of the hottest properties going around, twice drafted in the first round...he just could be on the cusp of flourishing into the player everyone thought he would. Born a mad tiger, punt rd might be the place to harness this unbridled colt....lets do it i say :clapping

terrific list management just terrific. is this the best they can come up with. we are paying these blokes way too much if so.

time to lock vickery in the gym with a side of beef and demand he step into the role he was recruited for.

I expect Vickery will ruck quite a bit this year, IF he's past the reccurent shoulder problems.
Maybe he's not..

WTF has wood ever done that could make people think he is a good option?

Bending over for the turtle? anything else?
“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?

Slim pickings for seasoned ruckmen out there. Who would have thought Gus would have gotten a gig?!?

A lot have mentioned Seaby as an alternative option but he's obviously done.

Whoever they choose as a 'backup', hopefully Ivan stays fit that's all I can say...
