Jamar isn't really in the long (or short) term picture so the future of our ruck division may well be Gawn with Spencer as a serviceable back up if Gawn gets injured on losing form. So it's certainly time to think about getting another guy in one of the drafts this year to eventually replace Spencer if he develops well.

Roos has been putting a few through the works up in Sydney. I like the sound of this Cisco bloke, he's a genuinely big unit and has the smarts to record Roos on TV and put it on youtube. Nothing beats a bit of self promotion. Anyway with Roos having the inside knowledge I wouldn't be surprised to see one of these guys come on to our list as a rookie.

I called a while ago that if Roos becomes coach expect him to sign a couple lf international american rookies. The guy is fanatic over American sports and all other sports too.

Would both be better prospects than Spencer.

What a list clogging experiment that has been.

If you need a back up ruck, rookie one. No need to clog a spot on the list while a bloke takes 5 years to get the ball from hand to foot.

Those two american guys are in town this week, I hope we think outside the square for a potential ruckman...
