A bit of calm is called for...we haven't even had the first bounce yet.......Fitzy is developing nicely...I spoke to him a couple of times, one of the main aims is to get a bit more muscle and strength into him...they are happy with his footy smarts....playing him against Jamar in the Intraclub is all good stuff.....observers noted he got better the longer he was out there.....that is what you want to see....just had a bit of a miserable run with injuries....but these big guys have a lot to get injured....would like to mention Jamar's first few years at the club......watched Fitzy kick a lazy 6 in one game for Casey....he is a good kick for goal....just needs a bit more size about him.....a couple of games as backup to Jamar or Martin will do him no harm at all....not all clubs carry two top class ruckmen into a game these days....sure Neeld would like to test him out

We have other guys who can ruck, Clark, Sellar......Dunn and Sylvia at a pinch...with a third man up......unless the AFL bans that at some stage...........

    Good post Sat, but I will pick you up on one thing, and this goes for anyone who had/has this in their heads. Dunn and/or Syliva should NEVER EVER come in to calculations as far as a pinch hit ruck goes. It is embarassing to see it happen, and I can't really see Neeld allowing it. We want to be treated like a serious team, but will use a midfielder/hff start in the centre ruck? Seriously...

    I agree billy. Im still a bit shattered that Big red was ousted from the 1988 GF and we witnessed our top class Full Back in Danny Frawley go up for the 1st bounce. Hawks were rapt from the get go. Not that Im old and bitter...

    I actually agree, said 'at a pinch' and hoping like hell it won't eventuate, but a bit of left field doesn't hurt now and again....wouldn't like to see it for a few games on the trot though

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
