Mummford anyone?

Anyone looking at cashing in on Mummford's fat arse? he's ripe to jump in cash, just a question whether he can hold down that second ruck spot. Has West really gone south?

Mummy wouldn't be the worst pickup for a 3rd or 4th ruckman for the next 4-6 weeks as Otto heals. After that I would be surprised to see him again this year, bar an injury to Blake or Ottens.

However, I doubt he would put up those numbers again; it was a close in game with plenty of chances for tackles (9) and hit outs (20+), especially against a sub-par stand in ruckman in Mitch Clark, who managed to get only 2 hit outs!

He should still be as good as someone cheap like Sam Jacobs or Jake Spencer for a few week, but maybe a Essendon backup ruckman like Tommy Bellchambers or Christian Bock are better long term investments.
