Rucks are a strange thing but

There are very few good ones

Sandilands old
Nicnat freak
Goldie superjew
Hale ok, more a forward? Apparently retired
Adelaide guy

Who else? Canada and mummy are ok

Maric is winding down but would be almost next best



Hasnt burger played something like 40 games the past 100 years?

Not many young - ish ruck man are fit every game. most take till mid 20s to grow into body

I can't fathom he's free we don't want him

Burger aint young, the dude will be 28 next season.

Same age as ...

I think that a fit C.Ellis will make a difference together with maybe the inclusion of McBean, improvement in Menadue and Butler. Add Yarran to that and we have more run and creativity.  The natural progress of Kamdyn will also help somewhat. I'm also hoping a fit Astbury at FB and Rance At CHB may allow Chaplin to go to the magoos but that may be stretching reality a little bit too much.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Carlton open to trading Levi Casboult to Brisbane to try and get more high draft picks to target GWS players using Silvagni's close connection to them. The only problem is Casboult doesn't want to leave the Blues.

Geelong linked to Gold Coast ruckman Zac Smith. Cat CEO Brian Cook didn't dismiss it. Dangerfield domino needs to fall first before Geelong's other targets come into play (Henderson & Scott Selwood).


Nothing new about us trade-wise. Matt Granland on SEN only mentioned Yarran and said "Who knows what other irons in the fire Richmond may have".

Terry Wallace saying on AFL.COM.AU Trade Radio that Matthew Lobbe will be forced out of the team with Dixon and Ryder over the last 12 months.
They are saying that Richmond FC have put an offer for him. Richmond are in need of a ruck and we may give the pick 12 for him

Thoughts?

This, but, Our ruck stocks are not up to it and our centreline when outdone are really outdone, we need that one more player in there to step up when Cotch, Deledeo, Miles and Martin are down/tagged, we could also do with a backman if Astbury cant get up.

Lobbe also isn't injury prone. His issue seems to be he struggles when not the sole ruckman so my only issue would be can he do it at Richmond with some help? We've seen what happens when you go in with only one ruck (Maric).

Otherwise I would

Agree with this.
IMV, has upside on Lberg and Krez based on reliability and ruck work.
Not worth pick 12 but surely Power value our soaking up cap space for them to get Charlie.
We might sneak a 2nd rounder for him
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
