Just get the best older ruckman available for now. A bit like Naismith just don't get one thats so injury prone.

Essendon with Goldstein did  similar. theres your ruck back up for big Toby and rather than investing in a duff tyler type go and actually look at all the 18 thru 22 year olds running around that have the right frames will definately be the right size and have enough good attributes to succeed and take him late or rookie..

Big  Caleb May 208cm from sth australia will probably have a club look at him late and why not.

Sam Ainsworth around 200cm has a big leap may be about at pick 30 -40.For me going into year two of rebuild with just two nd picks is ludicrous
.

The Jasper Algar recruitment was excellent work and the other pick was required for the north future 1st.

Both sound moves even if it leaves ha short currently.

They have had nearly 12 months to consider ways to get back into the draft look at possible trades and likely free agents and turnover players.

Grave concerns if they truly think turning over just 3 or 4 players is adequate.

Plenty of mature types can be looked at in all of the Psd Rookie draft PSSS and msd we should be have been planning for it this time last year.

Long time lurker, finally got myself an account to get involved on the back of having picks 2 and 3.

Does anyone think we'll take Robey, the bolter out of Eastern?

Not unless we split one of our picks up for a couple / few other first rounders with an offer that’s too good to be true from a club desperate for a certain kid.

Simonator thinks we should trade up to P1 to get him :lol

(jokes Simon).

But seriously, Simon is keen to trade down from 3 to 2x top 10-15's to get him maybe etc.

These guys seem to really rate him - I can't remember someone coming so hard so late ...
