Daniel Gorringe?

No for me.

Tom Nichols and Zac Smith are both ahead of him and neither have stamped themselves. Gorringe's form in the NEAFL has only been so so.

And that's probably being kind. I'd certainly be more interested in sounding out Lycett

Have seen a rumour that Stefan Martin wants to return to Melbourne (city not club).

Thoughts?

YES.

Seriously though yes. As long as he doesn't cost too much he's pretty much exactly what I described in the the Boyd thread as my ideal ruckman.

Very good modern day ruckman. He will find a home easily.

He is Beveridge's prototype ruckman.

We'd have to be making a play for Martin.

Tough one to value. They'll want something pretty substantial in return but he's 29 already

Too old.

Ruckmen are the exception - they tend to start and finish a little later.
3-4 years as a legitimate no 1 ruck out of a ruckman isn't far below what we realistically got from Minson in 10+ years on the list, considering development time and trading in Hudson during our better years.

Ben Hudson was also 29 when we traded for him.

Re: List Management 2015

I'd go Leuenberger ahead of Martin.

He is also a genuine no.1 ruckman, younger, bigger, and wouldn't cost us anything as he is a RFA.

Martin got his chance when Leuenberger got injured and has performed superbly thus making it difficult for Leuenberger to reclaim the no.1 ruck at the Lions. I maintain the Leuey has the ability to be an elite AFL ruckman.

I agree with this, at 27 years of age he should be in his prime with a young Bulldogs list ready to play finals in the next few years.

Re: List Management 2015

An article in the Herald Sun today mentions that we are interested in Leuenberger (along with Geelong and Essendon).
