Encouraging that a couple of Ayce's goals came from second efforts after competing in the air (remembering it was very wet at Frankston on the weekend).
I know we have been down this path many times before ! And I can't believe I'm suggesting it. But I'm keen to see him in the AFL side again soon. Either Campbell or Cordy should come in to the side. At 23 and 22 years of age respectively...I'd like to see both given opportunities throughout the second half of the year.

Should they be tried as the sole number one ruckman or as Key Forward / 2nd ruck?
I would say key forward/2nd ruck. Particularly Ayce.
Wouldn't mind seeing both come in for Minson for a stint. But Will probably has the runs on the board, despite being poor last week in a match he should have been dominant in.
I wondered if we are using Ayce to get to Zaine, the same way Collingwood used the Cloke brothers (all three brothers were drafted to keep Travis).
Not quite the same. Travis could always have gone to Richmond under the father son rule had the family fallen out with Collingwood, Zaine doesn't qualify for another club. I also wouldn't have thought he is good enough to be knocking back an offer from us because we cut his brother, whereas Travis Cloke would have been a guaranteed high draft pick even without the father son rule.

I disagree, I think Zaine would go first round draft pick this year if was not F/S with us.

Just a (conspiracy) theory ...
I think the other potential Father/Sons have much more interest in conspiracy theories than Zaine. But Zaine is coming to us, i'm confident of that.

Got to be kidding Scraggers. He'd have to have a 'MacRae-like' rest of the season to get into the first round, and us using our first round would mean that one of the likely two teams below us nominate him.
Only on video ... YouTube and AFL snippets. (But living in Perth, I've only seen Ayce's via video as well). Zaine is clean with the ball and can take a grab. His highlight video compared to Ayce's is a heck of a lot better.

It is just a conspiracy theory.
St.Kilda were all over Ayce's based on his U/18 games, making us use our next draft pick to take him. I think it will be the same this year for Zaine (maybe not St.Kilda).
