Witts certainly. Not so sure about Grundy yet. As long as they progress then all is well. Then don't have to dominate but keep improving. It's a shame Witts had shoulder surgery post season because he needs the weights.stui magpie wrote:Why? During the H&A season we could play Blair in the ruck against some teams and just rove to the opposition at centre bounces and do 3rd man up elsewhere.Defender wrote:Mature ruckman is a must, can't into the season with 2 21 year old rucks, it would be madness.
While I'd like a mature ruck as pure back up, I think Grundy and Witts have developed enough to carry it, with the support they have.
We aren't going to win the flag in 2015, we're going to go flat knacker at getting a top 6 spot as a launching pad for 2016 and beyond.

I reckon we'll have that covered with a combination of Marsh, Sinclair, Maynard, Crisp, Williams and hopefully Sharenberg.Rick wrote:Think I'd rather Adam than Ahmed.

Frost won't be upgraded in the rookie draft. What he will get though is what is known as the "nominated rookie" spot, which is where a club can nominate one of its rookies (if they have 39 players on the primary list) or two of its rookies (if they have 38 on the primary list) to play senior football without the need for a Long Term Injury to open up a spot.Presti35 wrote:Once Frost is officially upgraded, we'll have rookie picks 8, 26 and 43. With pick 60 allocated to Armstrong.
We have the 39 senior list players setup, so assuming we don't pull a surprise and utilize pick 3 in the Pre-Season Draft, we will be able to select up to 5 rookies (picks 8 and 26, with pick 43 likely to be thrown away on Armstrong, plus Frost and Gault already retained).
I think pick 60 might actually be utilized to officially bring Mason Cox onto the list as a Category B rookie...

So, what rookie pick do we use on Cam Conlon?MagpieBat wrote:Frost won't be upgraded in the rookie draft.
