Harper or Gorringe could be handy.

The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Ruckman out of Gorringe, Cameron or Redden.......I still favour Cameron....massive upside....Gorringe is a headcase....and not in the good way that you want a ruckman to be.....been informed that Redden is cooked.....I'm not so sure though....still only 24.....wouldn't object if we got two of the above.....would be able to develop Soldo another year at a lower level with whatever big yank we're apparently looking to take a punt on...

Need to keep an eye on delisted rucks and KPPs.

Would be looking at one of either Redden or Cordy for rookie, purely in case Maric goes down...

I have little faith in Astbury, and less in Elton, but at least if Rance or Chaplin go down you know there are tall KPD's in the seconds who are playing defence to come in and have a shot without us playing blokes like Grimes/Batchelor on our opposition's 1st key forward (wait a minute...).
Carlton delisted a kid called Cameron Giles.  Iliked him as a junior. Havent seen much of him at all since. I know hes had his fair share of injuries  anyone know how hes gone at Carlton when not injured.

Sounds like he was regularly beaten in the VFL throughout 2014 until he fractured his navicular. Sat out most out 2015 before returning for two games late in the VFL season. Got through the first, then was allegedly one of the best in the final game of the year before being delisted. Maybe a bit harsh?
Sounds like it. of course kids are going to get beaten up against men in their first season even in the vfl. Missed the second yr thru injury then delisted.
Has to be something else attitude or work rate foot injury is a bad one. if not he would have to be worth looking hard at as a rookie at least.

Darcy Cameron from Claremont....

http://www.boundforglorynews.com.au/2013-draft-profile-darcy-cameron/


Gorringe went at pick 10 in 2010....talented smart ruckman but soft and by all reports an Akermanis-level flog without the work ethic to back it up.......

Cheers for that.

Cameron definitely seems worth a punt.

I don't even like saying Gorringe's name so he can F right O.

Darcy Cameron was a player i hoped we would take in the 2013 nd or as a rookie.
Since missing the draft he has played 21 senior games for Claremont in the Wafl. He spends a lot of time fwd when in the seniors but Claremont use Mark Seaby as their #1 ruckman.
When thrown in the ruck he competes well and for his size has very good agility. He definately is a ruckman first and formost who can rest fwd take a grab and kick a goal. I think people need to realise he turned 20 in july.To be playing ruck against seniors even at state league is an accomplishment at 18 19 or 20..
His reserves form in the ruck is outstanding as one would expect.

I think its a matter of time before a club at the least rookies him.As a development ruck on our list he would be perfect.He is not ready however to take over from Maric if he got hurt.
I think theres a good chance of him becoming a decent AFL ruckman. He has  now had two yrs of development playing senior footy, i dont see the point in waiting for him to have a stellar season only then to have every club hunting for him. Imo  Late picks and rookie picks  are there to take a bit of a punt and back in your judgement and intuition if you like..

I would be happy if we took this lad with our last nd pick or used a rookie pick. I would also be happy if we took Jarrad Redden depending on medical reports.

ok serious question.

how many years do you think it will be before he is ready to compete with AFL ruckmen?

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Harper would definitely have a look at  but has he still got ankle problems?
Also noticed Daniel Gorringe was delisted aswell .

Word is his ankles are "very bad" ...

A shame really as he is a very good in & under type even though Scott used him for his outside pace.
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Did you watch any of his junior games at Eastern.Looked nuggety & hard at it when put on the ball at times.
