    The question no one from the media who have been critisicising us for picking up Grundy have tried to answer is who would have rucked for us when Gawn was injured earleir this season?  If Grundy leaves, the club will need to answer that question.  Will Verrell or Farris-White be able to fill in at AFL for a short period (or longer) if Gawn is injured again next year?  It doesnt look like it to me, so I think we need another experineced ruckman on the list next season. 

    As unpopular he is around here, in hindsight, perhaps we should have chased Rory Lobb instead of Grundy.

    Will be a repeat of the Grundy situation. Been there done that. We have to draft from the crop of new up and coming ruck potentials and also pick up a seasoned second stringer fro other AFL clubs or competitions.

    Could've been worse, such as using "get" instead of "go".

    Sam Hayes from Port and Tom Fullarton from Brissy are two young rucks I would be interested in picking up. Haven't seen much of them but they fit the profile we are looking for.

    No.

    I'd go a cheaper alternative and look at Nick Bryan from Essendon.

    I like the look of Fullarton. He's very raw but could continue to develop as a forward ruck until Max retires.

    A big no to Hayes. He could have all the talent in the world but he hasn't developed a tank (STILL) in the 6 odd years he's been in the system. If he did, he'd be the natural successor to Lycett. The fact that they chased Grundy last year and are doing so now says it all.

    I like the look of Nick Bryan too. He's mobile, has decent skills. While I haven't seen a huge amount of his ruck work, he appears super athletic for a 203cm player. Is he out of contract?

    That's the guy!

    And the 'BBB' will be vacant?

    (p.s. I hope BBB1 does keep up / increase his WDees involvement)

    I've mentioned Goldstein before. He won't come cheap but for say $400k you get a good ruck that can give Gawn six odd games off over the season and act as a backup.

    Give him an assistant coaching role at VFL/AFL level to sweeten the deal.

    One year only and then recruit for best available as potential number 1 ruck going forward

    He's 35 - no from me 

    Geelong might be keen

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
