"Happily take Buckley back" - wow.

They are very light on for ruckmen and I'm surprised they didn't go after Stef Martin when we were negotiating with them for Dawes.

If the aging Jolly goes down, they're really cactus.

Was thinking exactly that when I saw their delistings.

Delist Spencer and get Wood. Rate him much higher.

wood is rubbish compared to spencer

If someone was rubbish compared to Spencer they wouldn't be playing in the AFL. I admit Wood isn't a star but in my opinion he'd do a better job than Spencer as a back up ruckman.

No to all of them. I am still unconvinced about Rodan and he is leaps ahead of all these from the Pies.

And strangely enough, he finds himself not on AFL list. It's a real skill to somehow accidentally argue against your own point.

I remember reading a detailed article by Wisbey comparing the two best ruckmen of the u18 competition at the time: Cameron Wood and John Meesen. Wow.

Whilst holding nothing personal against Jolly, one can only hope that the second half of your sentence comes true.

I haven't looked at their list closely, but is the big Q the only alternative ruckman now?

Hallelujah - will their Golden Boy Bucks under as much pressure as Golden Boy Jimmy at Bummerland? He certainly will be if they drop many rungs on the ladder in 2013.

Nil all draw there.

Brisbane and Adelaide were sold though.

Luke Rounds is surpringing. I thought he had a very bight future.

Touche... I do think he'll find a home though and I still think he is a better option than Spencer.

Despite stuffing my argument up there

Isn't this why they went for Lynch? An each way bet on rucking and forward.

Lynch may or may not fit the bill as a forward/ruckman but if Jolly falls over he can't fill the role of #1 ruck. Can anyone imagine him against Cox or Sandilands?

They have Jarrod Witts developing nicely.

Spencer may surprise you, I think he will come on in the next couple of years.

He is a huge unit, and competitive......fantastic if he does (I reckon he will!).

Except their spuds are usually a better standard than our spuds.

Lucky we've got a good Chip then, eh?
