Good omen/indictor that we will be semi -competitive tomorrow I reckon.

Savage going ok gives us a glimmer of hope as well...

Im getting the feeling we are harvesting a ruck farm!

In two years we might have 4 good ruckmen. I'm guessing we will keep 3 and offload 2 for trades.

Good effort Sandy -Dunell shoudn't have been dropped from the seniors after one game against the possible premiers. I wonder if Homes will get elevated for a game this season?

I think they will give Louey Pierce a game first. He looks the goods. He reminds me of Darren Jolly.

I can't believe how big he is. He's actually taller than Holmes, he must be 203cm plus

official he is listed at 202 cm....with holmes at 203cm...but he is only 19 so he might still be growing....

Is he the goods? Cos that makes longer / hickey trade bait, unless pierce can play the fwd/ruck role, in which case Stanley better smarten up (more so). Holmes becoming a gun can sit on the back burner for another 18 months.

Great footy player - but don't think Rhys will be winning any 'modern man' awards anytime soon.

Ive never met him - but certainly never struck me as a bloke youd want to have a beer with. More like a bloke youd want to avoid.

You post some interesting stuff but then you undo it all by posting drivel like your last comment.

Well I know I didn't expect her to be....

But saying were excited that she could communicate well to players on the boundary... Sounded patronising.

From what I've seen of him he will definatly make it. He's the most natural footballer of all the ruckmen on the list.
There was one play today that was so exciting to watch and nearly came off. Stanley took possession on the wing and burnt of his direct opponent, pierce was in the centre circle and took off the centre square, he killed his direct opponent for pace, Stanley kicked a 60 metre pass for pierce to run on to but it was about a metre too long. It was unreal to see to 200+cm guys move that quickly

Not saying we have the best Ruck division in the AFL - Freo can probably claim that one at the moment.

But we are certainly developing the most interesting one...

Any word on whether White and Fisher got through the Develoment game this morning. No mention in either the bests nor goals on twitter and can't find anything else? You'd hope sw would be good for at least a goal at that level??

I've been harping on about this for weeks. We have 4 ruckman (plus Stanley) who are all expected to be hitting their straps in 2-4 years. Not sure how we will manage it... especially because most in the know think that Longer Hickey and Pierce will all make it, and some (including stkilda thunda who is probably the closest follower of Sandy on the site) reckon Holmes will make it.
