skeptic wrote:what MSG's post really confirms is that over the last 5-6 years we've stopped trying to draft and develop young ruckman (other than Brooks). We need to draft at least young ruck this year
Let someone else develop them.
Josh Fraser was a No. 1 draft pick 8 years ago!!
Number 1!
8 years ago!!!
Yet he's still coming along. He's by no means a star ruckman, and may never be, but won't be close until he's matured physically.
The play the role of a ruckman, a true ruckman, you need physical maturity.
Why throw away spots on our list for geriatics who'll stick around 5 minutes.
Whilst there seems to be overriding support for King, cant help but think Riccardo will be right. Can see rnd 18 next year with Rix and Blake in the ruck, with Gardi, King and thier ruck coach Clarke all on the sidelines.
In a year we would have gained three ruckman, all over or nearing 30, and all contirbuting zero... Monkhurst syndrome...
