Prospective ruckman ?

[Dyer'ere]

Ok slightly different kettle of fish... Nicnat does one thing well and does it very well... hits to advantage... apart from that he is useles around the ground except for once a year when he takes a mark of the year contender. If we had a ruckman like that we would all p!ss and moan all he does is hit it to advantage a bit

I think he's got real good hussle when he turns it on, Td. Awesome blue collar running defence.

I think he's a fair bit better than that personally TDawg.

You can't be serious? Observe his work around the contest. He's getting better by the year, he's an aghletic freak and has confidence and aggression. Would love to have a nic Nat

And yet this year he is averaging less than 12 possessions and less than a mark a game.

Nicholls from the gold coast for me. IMO will develop into a top class footballer. Not sure of contract status though and does not appear to be their first choice.

Would like to get Nicholls too

Sticks the ball down his mid fielders throats, hustles and bustles clear space through congestion for his players, takes a couple of MoY contenders n kicks an occasional snag.
Hate to see him become a decent footballer instead of just an athlete, he'd tear the comp a *smile* huge new one.
Simple raw stats rarely show the true value of some players n NicNats pretty bloody valuable.

Crazy. You watch him against tigers? Maric more possessions who won their little battle?

I suppose Rioli is ordinary too because he doesn't get it twenty times?

 

[tigersnake]

On what basis?

On the basis that the amount and level of criticism he cops is out of whack with his actual performances.

 

[SPH]

Not sure we need to spend big dollars on a ruckman, Hawthorn fave got by on generally average ruckman/ forwards with great success.

 

[Broders]

Zac Clarke would be a good get but Freo might want too much for him.

Cheaper options worth a look would include:
- Scott Lycett 203cm 103kg
- Jonathon Griffin 201cm 102kg
- Daniel Currie 201cm 96kg

Now that Robbie Warnock has been delisted what are the chances of Dimma wanting (in that DH said he only wants a ruck who is bigger than the current rucks he has @ 200cm)?

News in that Warnock has retired....

I reckon he'd pass on him anyway, tap ruck who does nothing around the ground, we have Hampson for this.

Retired? Sorry I thought he was delisted.

He was delisted yesterday, someone on PRE said he had retired today after medical advice but I can't find confirmation of that

I love Ivan, heart and soul player. One of these guys you just want to see do well because he gives everything he has.

However if there is even a 2% chance of snaring Goldstein as a free agent next year I would throw a whole shop of kitchen sinks at him.

 

[taraba]

Maybe they will rookie Majak. Just been delisted. Not saying I want him but I can see it happening.

Agree. Goldstein has only just turned 27 (July 2015) he still has plenty left in him. Forget about kitchen sinks, throw the whole house at him.
Have still got the one Troy Taylor wanted? ;D

 

[thegdog]

Majak Daw been delisted, pick 140????!
