Rusling

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Over at 'ology, and I'm pretty sure in another thread here somewhere, it seems the talk is Sean Rusling is headed for the dees.

I can't quote sauces, or even where the rumours originate from, as I think they're mostly 'ology based.

What are peoples' thoughts? I'm excited by it, but at the same time VERY nervous. Whenever the Pies launch themselves into a trade, they always end up being hopelessly lopsided. Tarrant for the pick he got was ridiculous. And Rusling's crystal-for-bones syndrome makes me worried...

If it's for anything like 18 or higher, I'll be [censored] though.

I wouldn't touch Rusling with a barge pole!

If it was Rusling without the injuries, you would take him in a heartbeat, but then the Pies wouldn't be letting him go!

His body is a time bomb waiting to blow one last time, and I'd prefer Collingwood clean up their own mess here, not us!

Wouldn't give up anything before the third round for Rusling, straight swap for Zomer would be good.

We have enough trouble with injuries. Why ask for more?

[w00dy 146]

he is injury prone, but he's definitely worth a shot... if he can get out on the park, he would be one of the better full forwards in the comp... worth a 4th rounder that we wouldn't use...

Plus I don't think that we are in dire need of my small forwards with Aussie, Maric and Jetta already on the list.

List as 190cm. Not exactly a small forward, but I have no use for him at that height. We need someone who can hold down FF, not a medium floater/third marking option.

Rusling is crapola! We have enough of that already.

Rusling is crapola! We have enough of that already.

Crapola how?

Don't know how anyone can pass judgement on his football ability since he's hardly been on the park since being drafted.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,753]

I'd take him for a 4th rounder and throw in a list clogger (ie - Bell or Newton) as steak knives.

The guy has talent - loads of talent. We need a forward. He's too injury prone though.

Rusling plays a bit like John Anthony, though he's a lot faster but not as good a kick.

He's a lead up and mark player, has ridiculous pace and potentially could play FF but obviously is very injury-prone and one-dimensional. I don't think Bailey would go for him.

Rusling has shown nothing to warrent Pick 18 from MFC.
