West Coast beat us 3 times. They could be seen to have the blueprint against us. That involves tandem rucks against Grundy almost tagging him. With only one ruckman we have to swing Cox into the ruck leaving us short up forward while Grundy goes off. Now with Roughhead we have options. He doesn't need to play every week, but he could play against teams with two rucks and and give us flexibility in selection. It also could mean Moore gets to play CHB. Roughead is mobile and versatile. He is no dinosaur.

Maybe there's a Pies player who, instead of delisting him, they're helping him out with a trade to a club he's nominated? Dunno, it's a mystery.
Because don't want impact the Compo Pick we got from Fas

Agreed; locker #27 works for me.

^^Don't know. That's leaves us very tall in the key defensive posts, Roughead (200cm), Moore (203cm). I'd doubt that would be our first option.
I'd think it's more likely Roughead is being signed as cover for multiple positions (ruck/forward, defence, ruck) but won't be a first choice player.

Apart from his footy CV his personality CV is said to be first class
A good mate of Matty Boyd and we have seen with Howe and Dunne what good blokes bring to our club

Roughead will be a very good pick up.

This.
Roughie's going to thrive at the Pies, a la Dunn, Howe. Fantastic pick up, I'm chuffed.

Had dinner with a die hard dogs supporter on the weekend and they rave about his personality. A real good clubman and will be great pickup for our team.
They're shocked that he is not being offered a deal as he is extremely versatile and one of the key reasons they won the flag in 2016

^ My first thought was: "Does he have any history of injuries?"
