Yeah and we could have had Pavlich, Roughead, Franklin, Ward etc etc etc. What is the point of depressing yourself from past mistakes? The only thing is that I hope we learn from past mistakes so we don't make too many more in the future.  Some players, however, will always surprise a few clubs that don't pick them by developing far more than was apparent from their schoolboy years.

Mitch Clark has nominated to play at Geelong.

[bojangles17]

Don't rate him, what's he done since u12s 

[big tone]

x 2

Would be a handy pick up but don't you think we have bigger holes to fill first? He would cost us a second rounder at worst.
We will never be a good side with the likes of Batchelor, Houli, Grigg, Petterd, Thomas,  even Gordon and Lloyd in our best 22. I'm not saying get rid of them all but these should be our depth players.
Fill these spots first in our best 22 RFC before we get in depth players. We have a decent ruckman and some back ups. When Maric is done, then maybe go out and buy a ready made ruckman but I don't see the point of spending a second rounder on a bloke that will probably play in the twos more than in the ones for the next couple of years.
IMO get Garlett, Shiel and Frawley in and that's 3 spots filled. Replace Houli with Dea and hope Lennon can improve and our best 22 is a hell of a lot better!!

3AW tonight saying Geelong Travis Varcoe has been mentioned as a straight swap for Mitch Clark, however from Melbourne’s point of view, it seems unlikely.

We have a number of holes to fill BT and I think that another capable but younger ruckman is one of them.  Maric at his age and with his recent history is suspect with regards to soundness and I don't believe Griffiths or Vickery are capable pure first ruck alternatives.  Back up rucks/around the ground talls, yes, but not senior frontline ruckmen.  And Hampspud is Hampspud, hopefully never to grace the senior side with his presence again.  Which leaves us 1 decent young ruckman short in my perfect structured scenario.  I am a fan of playing 2 ruckmen and would be very happy with Maric/Gorringe/Griffiths in our starting 22 with Vickery as depth.  And I don't think we would need to spend a 2nd round on him - my uneducated guess is 3rd round and I would be prepared to pay that as fair.  And I don't share your love for Garlett, we don't need another troubled, unreliable and inconsistent player.
