No to Wood

Look if given a choice il go the big o but have you seen enough games of Wood?

Its a concern Pies dumped in without a recognized back up until grundy

Actually daniel they had a backs up on their list, you could argue they had/have 2

Jarrod Witts
208cm
113kgs

Lachie Keffe
204cm
100kgs

think the Pies knew exactly what they were doing
the way collingwood have gone about finding a ruckman to help and replace jolly.
ceglar traded pick 25 , gault nd 65 , jolly nd 14,46, mcnamarra rookie, witts nsw scholarship nd 67,, wood nd 14 , and keefe rookie   on their list this yr i make that 7 with jolly.
 now they have taken grundy nd 20. that is some concerted effort to find a replacement for jolly. it shows just how hard it is to find a good ruckman.

they have taken lots of ruckmen because imo of where most of them have been taken, that is late nd rookie draft where the fail rate is high so  they are taking a lot in the hope of finding one or two good ones. they have now backed that up by useing a very good pick on grundy.

one would argue numbers wise they hardly had a need to take grundy but they did. doing their utmost to ensure they find a few decent ruckmen. you can bet your bottom dollar in a yr or 3 they will be trading away one or two for what will probably be very good draft picks.

A rough guide on what picks we'll have in the upcoming rookie draft on December 11. We'll have roughly so picks 7, 21, 32 & 37.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The inside /outside veteran distinction has now been abolished. All clubs (ex GWS and GC) can have 38-40 players on their senior list, and a maximum of 47 in total, including up to 3 category B rookies [eg: internationals] and a maximum of 6 category A rookies (with the number reduced if they choose to have 39 or 40 on the senior list).

PSD
1. GWS (Pass)
2. Essendon (or pick 8 in the rookie)
3. Adelaide (Joyce)
4. Sydney (Tippett)

Rookie Draft

1. GWS
2. Gold Coast
3. Melbourne
4. Bulldogs
5. Port Adelaide
6. Brisbane
7. Richmond
8. Essendon (or that pick 2 in the PSD)
9. Carlton
10. North Melbourne
11. Fremantle
12. West Coast
13. Collingwood
14. Adelaide
15. Hawthorn
16. Sydney
17. GWS
18. Gold Coast
19. Bulldogs
20. Port Adelaide
21. Richmond
22. Essendon (Steinberg)
23. North Melbourne (Cam Richardson)
24. Fremantle
25. West Coast
26. Collingwood
27. Sydney
28. GWS (Pass)
29. Gold Coast (Pass)
30. Melbourne
31. Port Adelaide
32. Richmond
33. Collingwood

Not selecting to use a PSD pick would suggest that there is no real standout, as far as the club is concerned, within the draft leftovers.

But we can't take Mcbean with a late pick? P.s they just delisted 3 of their ruckman.

wasnt alluding to mcbean. and yes they just cut 3 ruckmen the point was the numbers they have been prepared to go thru. they still have 5 with grundy.
in recent yrs they have probably gone thu more ruckman than we have had in the last 30 yrs.

Richmond: Josh Toy might be looked at. May also look at other recycled options. Tim McGenniss has also been linked to Richmond as a rookie.

Port will pick up Colquhoun in the PSD.

A couple of PSD & rookie phantom drafts to get an idea of who is still available...

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/snoop-dog-phantom-psd-and-rookie-draft.982514/
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/young-talent-time-psd-and-rookie-edition.982228/

If we were to use the PSD then we would have picks 5 and 13. We would then have only 2 rookie picks available - 7 & 24.

Alternatively if we use 4 rookie picks as suggested by FJ a few weeks back then in the rookie draft we'll have picks 7, 24, 33 and 39.

Former Bomber ruckman Jason Laycock has nominated for the PSD. Talk of him going to the GWS.
