Ruckmen 2011

[elephants]

i have got zac smith and aaron sandilands locked in but i need a second and a fourth ruck any ideas?

[browny_wce]

ryder/cox/hmac/mummy as premiums
gorringe/lycett (should both be top5) as rookies

[elephants]

sweet thanks mate :)

[Sammocorw]

Could even punt on Lobbe or Warnock as 3rd or 4th rucks if they dont play much between now and the end of this year.

[elephants]

yeah i dont like the look of warnock with sam jacobs, hampson, kruezer all in front of him for a ruck spot and he seems to be pretty useless anywhere else so....

lobbe however could be alright with brogan possibly moving to the GC.

[Master Q]

Ryder as 2nd for me.

[ridley]

gonna watch cox pre season

gonna watch cox pre season

A little old? Nic Nat going into his 3rd Year, Maybe another Tall on the rise from the draft ???

[elephants]

yeah i love coxy but he has to share the ruck duties with nic nat now 50:50 and he rests in the forward line, now we all know west coast arent the strongest side going around atm so cox doesnt get the ball as much anymore :(

a pass from me but will be one to watch. (in saying this i will rpobly have him next year :P )

[Justin Bieber]

Zac Smith probably only ruck rookie certain to play from the get go (if they don't recruit another ruckman). 4th spot can be left undecided for a while since who knows who can come out of nowhere.

Have alot of ruckman to choose for 2nd spot. I like Hmac/Ryder but have so many others who have the POTENTIAL to step up a notch.

^^^ sam day will be a sure thing. hes gonna go top 5. he has played ruck/key forward this carnival so he should deffinatly be in the rucks

[Jim Bean]

Sam Day won't play as a ruck. These days teams want ruckmen over 200cm - the likes of gorridge and lycett.

He is 196cm has good hands and a massive verticle leap. Day's attributes are best suited to a key forward role.

And anyway, why would you even consider a 1st year key forward or ruckmen for DT? Both positions require a huge amount of development (2-4 years) before you would even consider them in your DT.

Example 1: Jack Watts.

I rest my case.
