Hoping Martin stays fit, hoping English will turn into a ruckman...

Yes, Hope is our new ruckman. Put him in Number 777.

They dropped David Zita’s handle in the tweet (David’s @ Fox Sports) I’m assuming it’s been heard on a podcast / something similar and then tweeted it out.
Follow up tweet from the account, attributing info to Max Laughton (also @ Fox)
In terms of trades, the Western Bulldogs will “probably” be finished after facilitating a trade for Patrick Lipinski. [@maxlaughton]

Nah, you've got it all wrong. Stef is going to grow a big silver beard, Sweet is going to grow some dreads and Timmy is getting a face tatt. You won't recognise them.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
And given the options out there (or lack thereof) and our picks, I’ve got no reason to doubt it’s true

Sorry Bont we’ll have to piss away another year of your prime while we screw around with the ruck.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
So we’re relying on an injury prone 35yr old to stay healthy, a naturally uncompetitive human to suddenly become an aggressive beast and a guy who we refuse to play to become a number 1 ruck overnight. Good grief. I wouldn’t take odds on any of those happening in isolation.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
Edmunds (grain of salt I know) reckons Fort is going to Lions, Ceglar to cats and Xerri to saints.
Ladhams maybe going to swans.
Meanwhile the team who most needs a ruck does nothing…..

Looks like Gardner, but AFL.com.au saying it is Sweet. Maybe something happening there

Re: Well Ruck Me.
I think it's easy to be glib and say the club is doing nothing, when we just don't know all of the variables.
Its not exactly like we're flush with draft pick capital for starters. If we're committed to securing Darcy then that hobbles us a bit.
We also don't know who we've sounded out, and why if we have done, they're not interested.
I agree its not ideal maintaining the status Quo. But it would be no good securing a ruckman if by doing so the club feels that we'd be creating bigger problems down the track elsewhere.
I think that we showed we could win 15 games in our current set up, and I still think our mids could've mitigated our ruck deficiencies to a substantial degree in the biggest game of the year, with some minor adjustment in their posture and mindset.
