Rusling

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!

    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...

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

    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.

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
