Re: Three things you have learned. *ELIMINATION FINAL* 2020 v St Kilda.
How often do I need to learn these things?
1. THey had Marshall and Ryder. We had English. We need our Ryder.
2. Bad kicking is bad football.
3. Apparently we might have a chance at a good kid in the draft. Haven't heard much about him, though...Comment

How would a Peter Wright work out for us. We could move Naughton back to FB, Jamara forward pocket, and Peter and English swapping in the ruck/ forward roles?FFC: Established 1883

Wright may well be worth chasing but what is the specific role we are chasing him for? Worth noting that he failed to get a game all season in a bottom 5 team and wasn't injured."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Re: Three things you have learned. *ELIMINATION FINAL* 2020 v St Kilda.
We could go after Peter Wright, but is he the player we need to fill a specific role? Since our flag we have traded in Cloke, Trengove, Schache and now Bruce to address specific KPP needs and none of them have improved our team at all to date. That is an unmitigated trading and list management disaster.

Re: Three things you have learned. *ELIMINATION FINAL* 2020 v St Kilda.
On paper Wright is the perfect player to compliment Tim in the ruck and spend time forward. However he's not really a ruckman at all. Not any more than Trengove is. And getting him means we certainly need to offload Schache and potentially even Bruce. That's not even considering why he can't get a game for the Suns.Comment

Re: Three things you have learned. *ELIMINATION FINAL* 2020 v St Kilda.
What are his ruck stats? How many minutes per game has he rucked previously and can ruck moving forward? Will he improve our stoppage game and give the midfield first CLEAN use? If he comes in, what then of Schache and Bruce, who are almost identical types (primarily forward but can ruck a bit when needed)?
Sorry for all the questions but they need to be asked. My preference is for a quality stoppage ruckman who can provide value elsewhere (aka Goldy despite his age). I'm not sure Wright ticks all those boxes."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Same questions you are asking can be directed to anyone coming in.FFC: Established 1883
