    I think our forward target needs to be able pinch hit in the ruck, unless of course we land a genuine first ruck.
    Ruck has to be priority 1. Schache vs Melbourne attended 18 ruck contests, won 7. If he can work this into his game from #3 KPD, we have another viable option.

      Walker was horrible for like 4 years before this season, and he even lost a lot of steam as this one went on. Plus, you know, he's a total dickhead.

        My preference would be English forward/ruck and we land a first ruck
        I'm not sure Marra will be a week in, week out proposition in 2022 so Tom Lynch solves that issue. By 2023 we should back Marra in.

          In 2019 three clubs went into deficit to draft high and trade too:

          Port did it on F/S Jackson Mead just after taking Georgiades
          Freo did it to get Serong, Young & Henry all Top 10
          GWS did it to get Ash & Green in the Top 10

          It’s aggressive with just late picks. But get it right and it works really well.
