Tell me more, I've never heard that game discussed.
It's just too small a sample size, Lynch might be a player or he might not, I've got no clue about him. However he would be a bit of a swing and hope and I think our current premiership window dictates a different approach.

I think there's room for both Lynch and Ceglar. Ceglar's never played a full season so Lynch will get games and it seems like a perfectly lined up succession plan. Set & forget.
I have to admit being seduced somewhat by Lynch's running capacity for a big guy and how well that would appear to fit into our gameplan.

I feel very much the same about Ladhams. I really like his aggression and follow up work. Whether he can ruck is another matter but he's big enough and, even though he's played a dozen more games than Draper I see the same sort of aggression. Teams are moving more and more towards the Jackson, Marshall, Draper and potentialy Ladhams type ruckman. Big, omnipresent and aggressive. And he wants to ruck.
Sydney being interested in him has raised my eyebrows.

That said I'm sure we'll miss out or we're not interested and hindsight will say we've dodged a bullet.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
Interesting that St Kilda have made enquiries about Tristan Xerri.
Has shown signs but was never getting much time ahead of Goldy at North and now North have got CCJ.
OOC 2022 but a developing type. Has played a bit of forward/second ruck at AFL level but is much more of a no 1 ruck type.

He's not rated that highly by North fans, I'm Sergeant Schultz with this guy he's a good age.
Seems like a good time to be a ruck man. They're going to the moon!

A very apt description!
Ruckmen are like crypto. Some turn out to be Bitcoin, most are just shitcoins.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
From Ryan Daniels yesterday: assuming he’s right about the rookie offer to Sweet, you’d think he’s gone.
The @WestCoastEagles interest in @westernbulldogs ruck Jordon Sweet is real, but not a priority.
Sweet has a 1-year deal on the table from the Dogs, but it's a rookie spot. If he turns it down, he'll likely end up at West Coast providing depth in the ruck

What a casual backhander.
That being said, two years on a senior list vs one on a rookie for a fringe players is a no brainer.

CCJ deal isn’t done yet. Hope we’re hovering like vultures. Who would you rather play for right now. Dogs or Roos?

Rory Lobb potentially on the move again with one club interested, yikes.
