Well Ruck Me.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

AFL.com saying Rory Lobb is gettsble. Has ties to Victoria. $700,000 a year.

He’d be the type of ruck Bevo would like. Lobb & English rucking and playing forward…

No thanks, especially not for that kind of money.

Only way I would consider it is if his remaining 2 years at $700k became 3 years at around $500k. Wouldn't want to give up too much in a trade either and we have little to bargain with at present.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Pass... like huge pass!

Not sure we would want big $ tied up on 2 ruck/forwards with neither really fulfilling the no.1 ruck spot.

It doesn’t change your point, but for clarity his existing contract (coming from GwS) is $700,000. Not necessarily what he’d be asking for now.

Yeah, not sure Lobb is any better in the ruck than English. We could spend far less $$ and give up a lot less to get something closer to what we need.

I agree if he wants that money, it’s a no. Restructuring the money makes it at least interesting. If we are prepared to go into deficit, as I’m currently arguing, it opens up Pick 18 this year for trade. I’m thinking more what sort of ruck does BEVO want.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

As I mentioned on the Collingwood thread, one of Cameron or Lynch may be gettable.
25 years old and 22 years old. Treloar can make the first phone call.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Lynch has looked good. Cameron has no exposed form as a main ruck and I think on the available evidence is pretty uninspiring.

Meek is still my preference.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Lobb barely even plays second ruck at Freo, and has publicly stated he doesn't want to play that position. Whenever I watch their games I reckon Acres goes up for more ruck contests than Lobb. Easy pass.

I don't know a heap about them but Meek and Lynch sound ok. I am a big fan of Ladhams as well but he seems less attainable.

Port aren’t playing him for whatever reason. I really like him too but wonder if he is up to a full time first ruck role.

It says here Freo traded him in to be a forward. Also says Hawks "and other clubs" have talked to Max Lynch - I would be surprised if we're not one of them.

Not sure why Hawthorn would be interested in Lynch (and Lynch with the Hawks) with McEvoy and Ceglar playing and the giant Ned Reeves waiting in the wings.

McEvoy is 31 and it seems it was planned he'd play CHB anyway.
Ceglar is 30 and is just ok. Reeves is a stick, Lynch would play seniors tomorrow for a bunch of clubs if available.

Didn't realise Ceglar was that old. McEvoy has been playing ruck though and Reeves was playing but hurt his ankle and Ceglar came back in and performed well.

Just as a comparison to us, assuming Martin didn't go on, he likely only has to beat Sweet out for a game. At the Hawks he is one of 4 viable options.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

I'd definitely see if McEvoy could be enticed over. His numbers are rock solid this year in the ruck and around the ground and is very durable.

Rumour is we've tried in the past. Things may have changed but he's contracted in 2022 and a club captain. You'd think he'll see out his career there.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are same changes to the on field leadership for next season. I hope Sammy P is still having a crack.
