Ruck Stocks in '08?
- Thread starter Tigers of Old
- Start date
to me king was an obvious pick. he would have cost nothing 67 83 so if injuries continue theres no real damage done. hes good for another couple of yrs this would have enabled the club to get some time into any young ruckman we might have picked up with our first 4 picks. 2 thru 35.and im not saying a ruckman would be taken with pick 2.

I think the fine print in the Gardiner/King deal would be the contracts, claw. That's why the Saints had to take both. To wear the contracts. That makes sense.
It's a historic deal. Two players for pick #90. LOL
I have an inkling Trav Ronaldson will be our first 'mature rookie' if he is eligible.
Don't like it because it is a get out clause for not trading, or having neglected developing our own rucks, but I can see it happening. Can you?
We might draft one but he can't be expected to play anytime soon.
We better rookie one because we should have been for a few years now. If nothing else they are GOOD CURRENCY to buy back into the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the draft. They don't even have to be good. Look at the Blake obsession.
But good list management and RFC are mutually exclusive.

I am not sure about Guy, too injury prone, I don't know enough but the feeling I get is I hope we don't go with someone that is prone to injury.
Hopefully we will be able to have a choice of some quality players that might want to come to our club.

Your point on King is valid, but the way I understand this deal is that Geelong traded King to his preferred club for nothing (pick 90), as a way off thanking him for his services. With 2 -3 years left in him, I don't think he would want to come to RFC.
