We play 3 talls forward line.
2010& 2011 Dawes, Brown, Cloke (Fraser/Keefe were the backups)
2013 could be Lynch, Dawes, Cloke. (Paine/Witts could be back up)

What about Pedo and Martin? Is the Q-stick a better option than them?

Not better than Martin if you ask me. Would it be rude of me if I let out a cheer if the scum get Lynch instead of us?

Lynch would be a decent option, but not the preferred, mostly because of his age and the fact he's more of a forward than a ruck.
Ideally we'd want a player who can play forward and play some first ruck when needed. Otherwise we'll need another mature ruck on our list, whether Wood or someone else.

Lynch is a much better forward than Martin. Martin is a No.1 Ruckman, with the possibility of pinch hitting as a forward.
Honestly, I reckon we have a 2nd ruckman already. Lachie Keefe. The guy played in the midfield as a soccer player, which means he has plenty of mobility. He certainly still lacks strength, but he could be another midfielder if played in the ruck.

Keeffe's an option, but he's coming off a knee reco. Doubt he'll play in the ruck straight away.

I'd be happy enough to have Lynch if his body could hold up for two years. The signs are good, because he's been durable over his career. There is the risk though that he'd not be able to give us much even for one year.
Up to the club to assess him and decide how much he can offer us.

We are targeting a premiership next year and need a bulldozer. Lynch is needed.

So what we are saying is that Dawes cannot fill that role, as he is a BobCat at best?!

I think when we are in the situation where Dawes is our only option and we have to play him on one leg in a prelim, then we are for sure lacking another option. Maybe getting Lynch will bring the best out of Dawes.
