Re: Well Ruck Me.
I'm staggered Fletch hasn't had a run actually. Everyone else has.
Then again I'm trying to picture him getting off the ground.

I don't like it but we have no other option now. English fed to the wolves and burnt out by mid season. Trengove competes well and will take over or Boyd, who I'd like to see play forward more with the new rules in place, looks like he'll spend more time outside 50 than in.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
How about an 8 foot American as a category B rookie? Or even a 6'8 Australian basketballer? We seem to be the only club that doesn't have a crack at category B rookies - surely we have the funds now?

We had Tweedie as a cat B rookie, and Dawson and Chatfield might be able to be listed as Cat B rookies this year if nobody bids on them (NGA kids).
I guess that Fijian experiment a few years ago went nowhere.

Didn’t help that one of them was related to a Coup Leader and wasn’t granted a visa into Australia.

Greystache posted an article last year I think, Inoke Ratu ended up coming in and is struggling away in suburban footy down Grelong way I think it was.
With all the coups they've had over the years, 3 out of 4 Fijians are related somewhere in their lineage to a coup leader.
The idea was a purely stupid idea and gigantic waste of money. I don't know what they were thinking.

Well, if that's our recruiting team logic, I hope we don't miss out on Khamis and set up a footy clinic tent for a couple of years in Sudan then...

We all seem to forget, that Campbell missed significant periods with injury, particularly in 2018. Every time we needed to call on him he was unavailable.
We really need a resilient body as our back up ruck.

and when he did play in the VFL he was ordinary to say the least.
