I don't think we would by choice, hence why they've been knocked back, but he is out of contract this year and if he won't sign then we have our backs against the wall. I could see Adelaide coming hard for him. They'd see a front 4 (ruck and forward) of Thilthorpe, Himmelberg, O'Brien and CCJ as locking away their talls for the next 5 years at least. Take out O'Brien and probably 7 years.

I’m big on getting CJ in, I’m just not sure how we get the balance right, both CJ and Lynch are not great below the knees and neither are real quick, so that then puts a lot of pressure on our smalls for thier pressure. Nank definitely needs to have a few rests during games as he is clearly our best ruck/follower , I’d like to see it happen and we maybe able to do it while saving Nanks, Lynch and Jacks legs
I’ve seen CCJ pick it up off his toes.
Think you’re underestimating his ability below his knees.
He’s also very smart and competitive.
Not real quick as you suggest

Pretty certain that Prestia has already committed and signed up for another 2 years
Let's see how that works.
At the trade period meeting, Adelaide recruiting manager comes into the RFC room.
Blair pushes play on the tape deck....oh we're from tigerland....
Adelaide man curls up in the foetal position in the corner
U could count on one hand ruckman who can play forward,so u really think a first round pick for cj is almost not enough.
Gws alone have several top mids but not a single ruck forward in its list.

CCJ is in interesting one. In theory he should be ready to go, I haven’t seen enough VFL live to be in or out. Big boys take longer but there’s a fine line between waiting and squeezing every last drop of value he has on the trade market. He can change the speed of the next generation up success so far. If he doesn’t show something this year at AFL level it’s fine, he has time. But he definitely isn’t untouchable in that scenario.

Except he's only shown it at VFL level. He needs to get a chance in the firsts, then take it, before you can count him on that one hand.
Ben Brown kicked 3 today , Weideman 7 so at least one of those will come in...
Fritsch will be back next week apparantley , throw in picket and petracca and of course Gawn pushing forward and we can't afford to have balta/astbury out of the backline playing in the ruck so CCJ has to play.

I'd say yes. The game has changed/ Lock it in the forward line doesn't work as well as it did. The pressure work has been pushed to the wings and midfield. Ergo more space for the big men and also more important that marks are taken rather than the ball being run out. CCJ in makes both Jack and Lynchy more dangerous. Pity Marlion makes CCJ redundant as a ruckman
