Geelong have confirmed they are interested in Ceglar if Fort moves to Brisbane.

With Port getting Finlayson hopefully they'll give up Ladhams easier

They want a first rounder for Ladhams. Hawks have pulled out.

Is Ladhams physical and strong enough for a number 1 ruck?

Not imo. He is similiar to English in that he covers the ground well and can find the ball, but is not a dominant hitout ruck.

I do think he is better than English in the ruck, and is more aggressive although lacks the size to do much with it. English is more talented around the ground and more composed with ball in hand.

I'd rate Ladhams as a 6/10 in hitouts (English is maybe a 3).

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Ladhams is more aggressive and quite mobile. The building blocks are there but it seems other clubs aren't chasing him particularly hard. I do wonder if the off-field rumours are putting other clubs off.

Ladhams is plenty big enough for a number 1 ruck role and has only played 20 something games behind Lycett. I agree he's not worth a first rounder but is Port Adelaide posturing here? I'm not sure what we have that could satisfy them but surely a second rounder is reasonable. I wonder if we've spoken to him.

Being reported that Sweet will stay on a 2 year deal.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Jon Ralph reporting that we will keep Sweet on a multi-year deal - which to me indicates that he must be getting upgraded to the main list?

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.

Xerri has requested a trade to Stkilda.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

If Sweet is staying, it would seem unlikely we'll go for Lynch.

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?

Good obvioiusly been told he's gonna have sufficient ruck minutes to keep him next year.

I hope we still chase a Ceglar type. We still need reinforcements.
