    I don't know anything about Lynch but on profile it sounds like he would be worth discussing.

    Would we prefer Lynch or Ceglar? I would have said both and lose Sweet, but if the latter is staying it seems one or the other. Ceglar likely to give us more in 2022, but beyond that?
    I hope we still chase a Ceglar type. We still need reinforcements.

    It could be a good result if he is upgraded, we bring in a Ceglar or Lynch, and Stef is downgraded to a rookie spot.
    Could be two years guaranteed on guaranteed money. 4th Year Rookie List next year and upgrade next year. It doesn’t impact his ability to play. Whatever is best for list flexibility hopefully.

    Yep our first choice ruckman is grinding bone on bone and we're just about to trade our second one.

    Either that or just been told he'll be listed and doesn't want to move.

    Did I hear Bevo mention we'd have a vastly different ruck look next year?

    Yeah..... He 100% said that.
    Ceglar is the ''different look'' - English, Martin, Sweet still there.

    Still hate the fact that 'Never played more then 18 games a season' Ceglar is our best option...

    It’s very slim pickings out there. Clubs have worked out that having good ruck coverage is extremely important, so we’re forced to play catch up.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Personally - Lynch, but we're not interested. He's tied to Hawthorn at this stage

    Sweet has a big pre-season and plays every third game perhaps?
    It's not ideal. I still think there are big question marks over Sweet and even at VFL level there were a number of better performing rucks this year.

    I'm confident Sweet will be a more than serviceable ruck and Ceglar, if we get him, will be insurance. Not saying that's how we'll start in 2022 but think that's how we'll finish.

    So Fox reporting that Ceglar's preference is Geelong.
    We're not into Lynch or Ladhams at all. Where do we go from here? Mason Cox or nobody?

    Re: Well Ruck Me.

    Sydney has emerged as the frontrunner for Port Adelaide ruckman Peter Ladhams.

    Hawthorn was Ladhams’ other suitor – the Western Bulldogs had already pulled out – but the Hawks have at least temporarily withdrawn from the race after baulking at the Power’s wish for a first-round pick in return.

    The Ladhams’ camp preferred option is for the Power big man to find a new home.

    The 23-year-old, who played 17 of his 32 career matches this year, is yet to nominate a club, but sources familiar with negotiations believe he will likely pick the Swans.

    It's a bit strange. The way it's being reported is if Fort goes to Brisbane then Ceglar moves to Geelong and Lynch goes to the Hawks. If Fort stays at the cats does no one move, or does it mean we will get Ceglar? Meanwhile it seems we didn't even get invited to this musical chairs game.

    Yeah I said this yesterday. If we had a ruck lined up during the season we’d have him by now. It’s a strange situation.

    Meanwhile, Young will be at Carlton by the end of day and won't be playing ruck. Carlton want him as a Key Defender.
