Couldn't agree more.

Stuffing Amatuers who have each others backs to protect jobs.

The incompetence and lack of accountability is just stunning

we brought Shaun in a couple of years ago to be that taller option. He’s had some injury and (issues with) durability, but he’s also showed signs here of improving. We need to back that in.”

There ya go matey. Confirmation we aren't looking at rucks and KPP's. Only an inside mid and a rebounding HBF.


Personally I'd be chasing all of these positions. Yarran HBF, Townsend InMid, Smith ruck, Tomlinson KPP.


Crazy that DR thinks we can just go and address the ruck issue in 12-18 months. Hampson and Maric will probably both be truly finishing in 12-18 months. Not to mention we can't get a new ruckman in '18 months' during the season...


Why aren't we looking at:

Bugg
Townsend
Redden

Carlisle
Henderson
Tomlinson
Talia

Leuenberger
Redden
Smith

Honestly I'd even go so far as to throw the whole kitchen at Hogan. Tell him $1million/year for 8 years or something stupid.

How do you know we arent

I really hope Soldo comes on quick or we're stuffed in the ruck if Maric goes down. Is Soldo even on the list proper? How many VFL games has he played?

I was pondering while I was sitting in traffic trying to get home but going nowhere

Now the Bombers have Luenenberger Should we consider Jon Giles ex Giant who Bombers bought in this season, that Hird wouldn't play?

He was a reasonable ruckman for the Giants. Even remember a few on here suggesting we should go after him a few years back

Would be a significant upgrade on Hampson as he can actually take a mark around the ground more than once a game

Careful mate, I suggested this and got slammed for it.

Personally I think he's a worthy backup.

Sorry I must have missed that

I would have backed you, reckon as a back up he'd be OK.

He's been treated abysmally by the Bombers. You'd get him for a 4th rounder I reckon
