''Ceglar off the table, set to sign with the cats tomorrow'' Barret

I don't get the appeal for him but we will have just to look elsewhere.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Damian Barrett reporting Lobb could head back to GWS.

Sounds like a salary dump

For what Lobb is on his output has been poor compared to his gws days
Darcy is going to dominate if keep injury free and they have Meek

How in the world did port score Finlayson ??? His one of those players who torch us if given any space

Re: Well Ruck Me.

So right now we are backwards, with no Young to ruck and English needing more time all season forward to cover Bruce. Martin older and more injury prone, pray Sweet develops…

Need to go all in on a proven ruck, which costs. Future First and a player.

Chol GCS
CCJ North
Xerri Saints
Lobb GWS?
Ceglar Geelong

It's not exactly an inspiring list is it.

Ladhams is the only one I would go for but we aren't willing to sell the farm.

Let's face it none of those guys are making any difference v Gawn.

GWS don't take players as salary dumps, they are always going the other way.

If Lobb goes to GWS, Freo are likely contributing some of his salary.

Agree. The only reason would be as a backup.

If we had to choose one of the above it would be Ladhams by a mile.

Not fussed we are missing out on Ceglar. Have a feeling we may end up with Cox.

The only reason I'd be happy with that is so someone can manufacture the sign "we have big American Cox"...

South Park fans will know what I'm saying.

Thats what I mean, his being paid over 700K for poor return. Freo are getting him off their list before before he has a best of season last year contract where he could be asking the same or more.

GWS know Lobb, know what to expect, and if Freo are going to pay 200K (example) of his salary , his cheaper than the 700K that would need to have paid him to keep him 4 years ago, so hypothetically, they could save $1million over past 5 years for him returning.

Lobb at his absolute best probably is a $700k player, but he drops his head and looks disinterested so often. Ypou only see his best for about 25 minutes a year.

He's no ruck either.

Do we ask about Preuss? If Ceglar is off the table and that was plan A I really hope we had a plan B lined up.

Bloody hell. This thread has been active since 2015!!

On the upside it is one of my favourite thread titles ever and it looks like it’s here to stay for another 12 months.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

This is an area where we can still improve in, and when we get it right, it will be an even more devastating set up.

Is this post dated April 2015 or October 2021? Ruck me…

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Is Ben Hudson still in good nick? Maybe we can wheel him out for his 55th farewell tour a-la John Farnham.

One day, I’m hoping after we finally have a proper ruckman we can start a new thread:

We Got Rucked

Re: Well Ruck Me.

If GWS grab Lobb as a ruck rather then a forward, could we pluck one of their rucks? (Mumford retiring).
