    - What does tackling have to do with ruckwork? It's beyond putrid (NT) -- Pyeman WPBD, 15:18 14/04/24 Sun
      - Exactly my point. Showing little in the areas we need him to.shine. -- VictoryPark, 15:26 14/04/24 Sun

        except that "the obvious" is wrong? -- collingwoodj, 16:31 14/04/24 Sun
        He's not a viable AFL ruck -- Genghis, 16:33 14/04/24 Sun
        Is it? could play as a forward ruck at AFL level IMO... -- collinwoodj, 16:52 14/04/24 Sun
        not a good enough mark to play forward, IMO -- Genghis, 16:57 14/04/24 Sun
        9 hitouts to 29 I think that just proves ratings points are a crock -- Mark W, 16:36 14/04/24 Sun

        Only position is as relief ruck / forward. -- JtP, 16:53 14/04/24 Sun
        I reckon he is actually an OK mark when he is played forward. -- collingwoodj, 16:54 14/04/24 Sun

      - I'm surprised they didn't throw a Hail Mary at Jake Riccardi when he available in the draft. -- Porter, 12:15 15/04/24 Mon
        Not sure that I'd lump McStay trade in with those others -- Rocket surgeon, 12:33 15/04/24 Mon
  - Positives: TJ is a rising star. Ned Long belongs. Hutchison has talent. Steene is good. -- Cracticus tibecun, 19:19 14/04/24 Sun
    - Why would anyone trade for McCrae or Allen (NT) -- Rocket surgeon, 20:20 14/04/24 Sun
      - Maybe because they can play? (NT) -- Pyeman WPBD, 09:47 15/04/24 Mon
        Agreed but realistically, what trade value would they have? -- Rocket surgeon, 12:10 15/04/24 Mon
    - Allan's only 6 months older than Jiath you know... -- collingwoodj, 08:33 15/04/24 Mon
      - And he missed most of his draft year with back stress fractures, a bit handball happy yesterday but has -- Pyeman WPBD, 08:52 15/04/24 Mon
        But as what Pyeman ? At 6’4” he is 50mm taller than Ollie H , -- BH, 14:09 15/04/24 Mon
        talking if rare footy talents what about Mac Andrew of Suns ? -- BH, 14:25 15/04/24 Mon
        Because he doesnt play tall Bones, he is a midfielder -- Mark W, 14:40 15/04/24 Mon
        Sullivan had an outstanding first Qtr off half back IMV. -- Kaistar, 16:23 15/04/24 Mon

  - Long wasn't on the ssp list hence could not be listed is my -- Bux l am your Father, 19:09 14/04/24 Sun
    - Macrae easily our best but can that translate to AFL? -- Thommo, 19:37 14/04/24 Sun
      - Think the strategy with Sullivan and Bytel was to provide -- BN, 21:05 14/04/24 Sun
