To advantage of who?

Taps to advantage must mean, if you tap the ball in the direction the team is kicking that quarter.

Watching the Cats and Zac Smith dominate makes you realise how poorly we have recruited within our ruck division. We are so poor in this area in comparison to other final aspirants its like we give other teams a 20pt start in every game.

If we dont recruit a quality ruckman in the next draft then seriously the recruiting staff need replacing. Blind freddy can see our deficiencies in this area but the club itself seem content with what we have, quite baffling.

Was thinking the exact same thing at the time Loz. 

How many decent enough ruckman have easily moved clubs and yet we sit on our hands. It beggars belief

Geelong got Zac Smith for a third round pick. 


Blair thought Spud was worth a second rounder.

I recall asking the question as to why we weren't going for someone like Zac Smith in the off season and a few posters on here laughed and said he was soft.

Oh, and Henderson + Selwood.

Talk about list management these guy have smashed it. Traded picks/potential for mature and known quality.

Funny thing my dad watched Treloar against Sydney and said he was that much better than Pendlebury and the rest we should have just offered Cotchin to GWS for him. Makes some sense.

Last 3 drafts following ruckman have moved places...

2012:

Worst ruckman in the lot, Hampson. Yet we payed the most 'overs' out of any trade for a ruckman in the last 4 years.
Geelong have cleaned up, McIntosh and Smith for picks 35, 49 and 53... Stefan Martin trade and Billy longer trade been genius. As well as Tom Hickey.

Hampson trade is an absolute disgrace when you look at the rest of them.

GWS: Shane Mumford for pick 35
Richmond: Hampson for pick 28
