The quadrennial off-season ruck poll

[ShockOfHair]

It's a cyclical topic. The last time we ran this poll the choices were Seaby, Pyke, LRT, Currie and I forget the other one (the volleyballer...).

I reckon Naismith and Derickx will fight it out for the second spot. It all really depends on which one has a better preseason. I think they might go with Derickx but only by a whisker just because he has some AFL experience and I think that big sammy isnt quite at an AFL level yet, but might well could be come mid-way through the season. It really all just depends in injuries too.

Also look out for the new boy Patty Mitchell. Give the kid some time to adapt, but god he has some athletic talent and might just develop a little quicker than more expect...

I voted Naismith, but I think the strategy will change this year to accommodate Buddy.

So I think it'll be shared between LRT and Tippett.

Does anyone know if Orreal is still playing somewhere?

Orreal

Thanks Liz. How could I forget the Big O.

Personally, I think we're so tall up forward the second ruck position will be at a premium. But Horse loves talls so maybe we'll go with Tippett, Goodes, Buddy and Reid up front AND a resting ruckman.

I've read a few things saying Nankervis is ready to go if needed and I get the feeling he's ahead of Naismith.

When did we start leaving out the ROK is hot option?

[ShockOfHair]

My bad.

We must get Scott to embed it into the poll setup.

Toby has had a year playing against the mature bodies in the Tassie league. He has a mature body and looks right to go but he will need time with Steve Taubert. I hear he is a real animal, will fight for everything. He is also said to be very good up forward.
