Looked at his stats just then. Gets more of it than Steve, will be interesting to see if his name gets mentioned in draft talks.
Would we possibly look at the freak ruckman Grundy? Our ruck situation is still precarious isnt it?

Yep, super quick and 190cm. Would be handy to have on a wing pushing forward.
Another name I am going to throw out who I think would fit in is Tim Membery from the Gippy Power. Plays KPF for them but is only 188cm. Has outstanding skills and understands the game. No super athlete but a footballer’s footballer. Sounds very much like Tom Rockliff. We need that medium forward. This lad could be it.

What's more baffling is Rockliff starred in the TAC grand final, usually scouts take serious notice of players who perform when it counts.

Dunno about starred, Bullus. You had to look a bit deeper than the obvious.
Sidebottom kicked 10 goals and nobody seemed to look any further than he and Ziebell for goal-kicking midfielders. They all seemed to overlook the guy who was also in that group but had also been the competition leading goalkicker the previous year.
Just goes to show how some of the "accepted wisdom" is simply lazy follow-the-leader thinking.
The story about Tommy was that he was a goalkicker but only did it in bursts and they all ignored his midfield work cos he wasn't as pretty as the other two.
