Further to the thread about Leuenberger, it makes some sense (to me) that Trent West's name is raised as a potential target.

The advantage of West is that he'd be a lot cheaper than Leuenberger - the Lions paid a 40-something pick for him after Geelong paid a 30-something pick for him.

I do think we have some ruck issues, hence me looking at these two. Jamar is on last legs, I still have no idea if Spencer can play or not, Gawn will be fantastic if he can stay on the park (no guarantee), King is raw, then we look at Pedo and Fitzy.

Premiership winning ruck, might be looking for more opportunities if a Ryder deal can be done. Also originates from Victoria, which may help?

Again, discuss...

Makes sense to me

Didn't he do his ACL Mid season?

yes, he did.

isn't he also about 31? no way that he'll be traded in by anyone.

26 and a decent footballer.

No he's not. Another terrible kick, actually shocking kick.

I've seen him do a Jordie McKenzie in front of goal.

I hasten to acknowledge, he's an excellent mark but middling to ordinary ruckman.

He'd feel right at home next to Jamar and Spencil then!

West is not a bad kick, not the greatest ruckman but does a lot of other things well.

He was good before going down this year. I like him.

Cracked the sads when he wasn't in the finals. When geelong did give him the chance to be first ruck, he was shown to be not good enough.

And then sold to Brisbane where he would play if Luey went down.

A backup but nothing more. Pass.
