Just bumping this back up where it belongs. The Wombat is again going to wreak havoc at the contest coal-face come Saturday afternoon.

We need a roooooop chant just like in 2002 when we had Betheras running around in a Prelim.

That'd be great Johnno. I love the Wombat nickname, but chanting "Woooombaaaat" doesn't seem to have quite the same impact!!!

Can't wait to see Willsy put Mummy on his proverbial. See what the bully does then.

Consider running with, “the Rupe, the Rupe, the Rupe is on fire”

Bit concerned about Rupert not having signed yet. The Age Real Footy Podcast suggesting he might be weighing up optins.

Here's hoping The Wombat signs with us, puts in a massive pre-season and comes back in 2020 looking like a franger full of walnuts.

What would his trade value be? Does he have any?

15 AFL games across 4 seasons and never more than 9 in any year.

Never had more than 10 kicks in a game.

Averaged 5 kicks per game in 2019.

Had 3 kicks in a preliminary final and the competition for his spot in the team (Sier) has just been signed for 2 years.

Turns 27 next May.

From our perspective, would we even offer him a new contract? Maybe 12 months to see whether he does anything next year?

Who is sniffing around? Let me guess, Essendon?

Post by **Pies4shaw** » Fri Oct 11, 2019 10:28 pm

Is there any evidence any other club wants him?

Sier’s already been re-signed for 2 years in the last couple of days, apparently.

And a valid point tho rotation them or play one forward to run interference (i.e correctly body defence to give the Elliott and co time and space
