no, he really wouldnt

if he was to play any decent time up there he would be run off all the time resulting in the opposition scoring goals on the rebound

he offers us nothing

Mark my words we will be spewing when we've got a 2nd rate ruckman & pick #31 is in the running for the Rising Star.
that would be an indictment on the 30 picks before. 30 for seaby is fine. as another thread suggests. there is nothing wrong with second rate ruckman. im happy to get a second rate ruckmen. all you need in the ruck is someone reliable durable and who contests. better of looking for our star power elsewhere.

hed be more than back-up. our only genuine ruckman is king and he only has 1 year left. if he goes down we are in big trouble and in 2010 we are in big trouble in the rucks unless LVR and mcevoy come on in an awful hurry...

Have watched a few West Perth games this year & he has been pretty ordinary, but did play well in the prelim & was dominating until he got injured & spent the rest of the game on the bench. Swan Districts then took control & went on to win, but its a big step from wafl to afl.Unless we get him real cheap i wouldnt be interested.

Actually, if you look at his stats he DOES play forward quite alot for West Coast! Kicked 20 goals last year (his best season) as a resting forward pocket.

http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/play ... Seaby.html

This report from the 2008 Champion Data prospectus in DAMNING:

"Seaby remains the perfect backup for Dean Cox, not only doing his job in the ruck when given his chances but also pushing forward to bolster the Eagles' attack.

Despite being his side's most-benched player, Seaby made the most of being on the ground by booting 20 goals - the second-most of any AFL Ruckman.

He also took 18 contested marks and averaged 10 disposals, handy numbers for a player coming on and off the interchange.

He won the hitout at 38% of ruck contests last year, which was above average, while his hitout-to-advantage rate remained in the average category".

WE MUST GET THIS MAN! He has so much upside, is experienced, never gets injured and can kick goals up forward. A perfect fit in our 22.

Good stats, thanks hotdish... makes it very interesting. Based on that id be VERY happy to give at least a 3rd round pick for him.

saintly_safes... what injury did he sustain in the WAFL Prelim?

A discard? Seaby is a premiership player. He has been in West Coasts best 22 for 4 years. If we had two quality rucks it would free Kossi to play up forward more.

He is 24. A great proposition.
