Re: Well Ruck Me.
After the 2016 prelim I was convinced Lobb would probably be the best player in the competition by now. Putting the bullshit aside, he did things in that final that I haven't ever seen English do. He was genuinely amazing and was almost the difference for them.
As an aside, it just goes to show how heroic Tom Boyd was in stopping the rot anywhere but forward after Roughy went down. That he managed to even get back in defence only to be out-marked was a testament to his strength and fortitude.
Anyway, Lobb at the best he's shown for me is well above English. But on consistency of output, which is a bit of an issue given both aren't great at that, I'd probably take Tim.
If GWS can get Lobb going again like they seem to be doing with Hogan, his recruitment will be an absolute boon for them.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

I'm really concerned we had some sort of verbal ok from Ceglar but he's now leaning towards Geelong and we haven't really considered anyone else.Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Re: Well Ruck Me.
Collingwood is determined to keep out-of-contract big man Max Lynch as the Hawks weigh up a move for him.
The Magpies have only two ruckmen under contract – Brodie Grundy and Darcy Cameron – with the future for Lynch and Mason Cox still to be determined.
It’s understood Collingwood has told Lynch it wants to retain him.
The 23-year-old has played only three senior games in five seasons since being one of the last footballers picked in the 2016 rookie draft.
But his development at second-tier level has turned heads at ruck-needy clubs, including him averaging 13 disposals, 32 hit-outs (eight to advantage) and 3.4 clearances in the VFL this year.
Most signs have pointed to Cox leaving the club – potentially for Brisbane – but what happens with Lynch could impact whether he remains in black and white.
Hawthorn inquired about Lynch last year while he was still under contract and nothing eventuated, but he is again on the club’s radar.
The Hawks have confirmed their interest in Lynch but are yet to formally discuss the 200cm ruckman with the Pies.
Hawthorn also met with contracted Port Adelaide big man Peter Ladhams, but pulled out of that race when the Power revealed it wanted a first-round pick in return.
Lynch would come much cheaper if he ends up requesting a trade to Waverley Park.
The Hawks are prioritising the draft as their rebuild continues and already encouraged veteran big man Jon Ceglar to explore his options elsewhere despite being contracted until the end of next season.
They are willing to pay a good chunk of the 30-year-old’s salary to help facilitate a deal with the Western Bulldogs or Geelong.
If Ceglar is to move on, Hawthorn would have only captain Ben McEvoy, who turns 33 in July, and five-game beanpole Ned Reeves as ruck specialists.
Journeyman Keegan Brooksby was delisted at season’s end.

Re: Well Ruck Me.
Hawks trying to give Ceglar away:
Ceglar is prepared to leave and the Hawks are prepared to pay as much as $200,000 of his $350,000 salary and while he seems keen to get to Geelong, surely the Dogs make a more appealing destination to win a flag.Comment
