It'd be great to see Rix get another chance, I hope he gets picked up.He said the club was looking at three possible options next week - snapping up a crumbing forward like Davis, an extra midfielder or a ruckman like delisted St Kilda player Michael Rix.
Despite not ruling out Davis, it is Rix, 27, that appears to be in the box seat for selection by the Lions.
Rix was part of St Kilda's biggest clean-out in eight years at the end of the 2008 season, one of eight players delisted in October.
Rix would add welcome depth to a Lions ruck division relying on Jamie Charman and youngster Matthew Leuenberger.
"I guess Michael Rix has been trialled and obviously listed at St Kilda so he's one that springs to mind," Voss said.
"We've got three ruckman now but (draftee) Bart (McCulloch) obviously is a bit younger and Michael has got a little bit more experience."

Not as bad an idea as it sounds at first, Brisbanes ruck stocks are the shallowest in the league by a mile. Surely they could do better than Rix though, what about Jeff White? I still reckon they'll take Nick Davis anyway, small forwards are their biggest immediate weakness.
Hope Rix does get picked up, terrible player but not from lack of trying and a top bloke.

This will give them an extra pick in the PSD and enable them to take both Davis and Rix.![]()

In fact, it's a p1ss poor effort IMO...

Not so much humour St Fid - more cynicism and sarcasm pointed at what I believe is Richmond's cynical use of Polak's injury to break/bend/rort the draft rules.St Fidelius wrote:oh, you noticed...WayneJudson42 wrote:Your not in a good mood tonite, are you?St Fidelius wrote:Sorry, but I fail to see the humour in it....n1ck wrote:Mr Magic wrote:Watch out for Brisbane applying to the AFL to have Hooper listed as a 'Mature Age Rookie' apparently due to him not being 'enthused enough' to play league footy.
