Agreed, couldnt get what we wanted so should have blown the budget on anything available to satisfy the need.....
I'm actually over this big fish rubbish, as I know players just want to be part of a losing organisation but you gotta admit the strangest part in that whole article is he said we will back Maric and Hampson in.
Really, no further additions to our elite ruck stocks or forward line? How could they not even attempt to get Zac Smith in.
To be honest I'm not that upset we haven't gone after a ruckman. I still think Maric has at least one or two decent years left in him and with Vickery about to help out that's ok by me. If a ruckman isn't Nic Nat, Goldy or Sandilands, the rest Maric can compete with ok.
The ruckman getting thrown up are all injury prone and all would be a sencond ruck to Maric for now. We have bigger list problems than this at the moment. Draft or rookie a young kid this year and when Maric is done you never know?? Other clubs seem to do it.
Although after saying all that I'd enquirer about swapping Conca for Lycett..
Ruckman come up every year for trade so I just think unless one jumps out (pardon the pun) at us, we wait until we really need one.
I'd be doing the USA ruckman experiment like St.Kilda and Collingwood if it were up yo me. Freak athletes that could compete against Nic Nat.
On another note, not really fussed about Aish either. Haven't really seen anything that tells me he is worth our first round pick or decent money. Collingwood can have him!
