We took Sweet & NMM are rookie rucks, English as a first round pick, chased Soldo & Martin (years before Martin landed with us) and since 2015 have played 2 rucks as much as we've played one ruck.

Thank you for answering.
I think what people don't understand is Bevo likes a particular type of ruckman, not that he doesn't like ruckman. Someone that is mobile and can play another role and not just be a lumbering ruck like the old days. This was particularly obvious when Minson didn't play much under Bevo, yet he was AA ruckman prior to Bevo.
It has taken us a few years to get to where we are now with English and Lobb. (hopefully it works out).
The ideal would have been Tom Boyd who is still only 27 and Tim.

Toyd and Roughy. Now that was a good combo.

It's a good off season.
Off loaded dead wood and two distractions, have a future first, a KPF/Ruck and KPD. Mix of a young KPD, SF and HBF is astute for our needs.
Our mids will need addressing but because we've set ourselves up in basically all other areas, we can afford to go all in for mids next year. Mids are the easiest to find.
I like our strategy.

The only player that we lost who really hurts was Dunkley and we targeted positions of need. We were pretty astute with a trading and selections.

Hunter will hurt too because he will have his shit together at his new club.

as mentioned in another thread, I would like to rookie a ruckman and then I will say the offseason has been excellent

It’s a mute point; but what type of ruckman would you have targeted? A Tim English follower type or a Jordan Sweet bullock / bash crash type?

Yeah good call. He is a blend of both types.

Not realistic though given we would have only have been using a late pick.
To answer Aza's question, I would have looked for a versatile type capable of playing a bit up forward.

There are AFL quality rucks (sans development) available every year in the rookie draft.
The rookie draft after we took Tim English in the first round 2016 included Sam Draper, Peter Ladhams, Rowan Marshall and Oscar McInerny (in the 3rd round of the rookie draft!) with Max Lynch taken late too.
