OK selection

Cheap insurance. We were going in too light on and have addressed it without using anything of value.

that's the only real positive as he is already AFL ready body-wise

but at least we didn't recruit richards

Yep. Can play round 1 if Simmonds doesn't come up. If he doesn’t play at all then we're not really suffering, at least Coburg now will have a full ruck complement.

yep, much like Collard who apparently has some mental issues. If they don't work then we can cut them and not be burnt significantly

I would rather Putt and Graham developing in Coburg.

Cartledge Couburg 2's.

it's just that if injuries hit, cartledge is in a better position to slip into an AFL gig than Putt and Graham who need more time to develop physically

Things have come full circle. We just got back the pick (#28, 2002 draft) we used to trade for Justin Blumfield  .

Pure insurance policy.

Not expecting much but certainly won't offer less than Knobel.

Yep at least Cartledge should be able to get out on the park and isn't injury-prone. Ronaldson also gets some help in the ruck at Coburg.

From RFC email:

TRISTAN CARTLEDGE:  Rookie Draft pick No. 33

Recruited from:  North Ballarat/Essendon
Born:  11/6/85
Height:  199cm
Weight: 93kg

Was cut from Essendon's list at the end of 2006 after a four-game career with the Bombers.  Spent the '07 season with North Ballarat in the VFL and earned a reputation as one of the competition's best ruckmen.  The Tigers see him as ideal back-up for their big-man stocks, given he's had a taste of football at the game's highest level, but is still only relatively young.
