I still liked him. Had some really good glimpses into his ability.
Different players take different times to develop and that's often what they say about about Ruckman.
Overall though I'd like someone with real pace who can kick accurately over 50 & has great goal sense who can ruck, rove, play tall and short as well as play a KP.

Our selection will be based on what happens to Murray and who is still injured and the time frame involved in those injuries
For mine right now a lot will dead on Scharenberg
He should be back on the field around that time but he will have a handle with care sign attached
If he's back and getting game time even in the VFL then our needs change
If he's not back then our selection needs change again
Right now I would be looking for the qucikest player available with a mature body and no injury history
If there isn't anyone who fits that bill then the best player over 195cm who's the best kick with a mature body and can play either end
If there isn't any of the above 2 then the biggest mature body clearance beast available

I really think this was brought in post Nicnat etc. Oh we need a ruckman because we lost one. Clubs like Hawthorn who poach other clubs rucks after they put 3 or 4 years into them. I don;t think we need a hard boy medium sized payer when we have Daicos and Sier to come in. I really don't like the idea. But if we must get a break glass type player.
Anyone remember when our injuries were so bad in the 80s we got blokes like Gordon Towan to fill in.
If you have noone on your rookie list (or VFL) worth looking at then the recruiters need a kick in the pants. Someone like Adam Oxley would be ok for us because he knows our system, is there and has friends. getting some muppet from interstate who will probably play VFL and then go back might cost that player a premiership or league best and fairest.
