Ingram

Dropped Houston to Roberton so I can squeeze Ceglar in. Feels pretty good atm.

Ruck coverage and hopefully a decent FWD scorer. Hawks said today he's No. 1 ruck.

And it starts .... fully expecting many more on this page to jump on. If he’s number 1 he’s a gift fwd/ruck.

Ceglar will be an absolute trap. Calling it now

High 80's at best

Will be fun to see how this plays out :)

High 80s? So if he goes 87/88 he would be a top 10 forward based on what we have to pick from this year and provides ruck coverage should Gawn grundy miss a week?

An absolute no brainer.

I will go a step further to say he won’t go high 80s he will go 93-95 and probably a little higher

If he truly is the No1 ruck he will be very tempting but McEvoy was having a very good year till he got injured in round 9 and again he had a thumb injury in the later rounds which could explain Ceglar taking over the ruck in the last rounds , if McEvoy does not work out as a backman thing things could revert very quickly we saw Clarkson try and make Sicily a fwd. and that didn't last long 2 matches.

Like I said, don't hate the pick, but don't see any reason to start him. If he does go 90 then he will still be easy to bring in and afford

So that explains why McEvoy was not seen once practicing his ruck craft and has indeed been training with the defenders all preseason? Track watchers say he’s a natural defender, looks like he’s been doing it 10 years.

But tell me again why things could revert very quickly?

What happens if Ceglar gets his pants pulled down in the ruck a couple times early ? will Clarkson just put up with it ? Frost has also been recruited as well , is it not possible that they will share the ruck duties and McEvoy always goes back when not rucking? I'm happy to wait and see , if Gawn does not line up R1 then he becomes an option.

What will Sicily's role be in all this? Frosty and BigBoy down back, Patton and Sicily Forward ? Doesn't Sic turn to shower up fwd.

Frost and Big Boy will actually take the 2 keys meaning Sicily is free to rebound!

Patton Lewis and TOB up forward. No need for Sicily down there mate. Stratton/McEvoy/Frost/Frawley to take the monsters and then Hardwick/Scrim/Howe to take the others. Sicily to do as he pleases!!!

frenzy

think I'll find a spot for Sic then, thanks fellas.

Ingram

Took Doch out to free funds up for Ceglar. Eagerly awaiting Marsh to see how both perform.

Laird, Sicily, Houston, Doedee, Hill, Young

Macrae, Fyfe, Titch, Danger, Cripps, Rowell, Pickett, McHenry

GG

Martin, Smith, Ceglar, Bonar, Flanders, George

Good balance?
