Arthroscopy could be for anything though. Don’t write off the big man yet.

Soldo's a waste of time and just another one of those 'family favourites'. We had a chance to get Jack Fitzpatrick but the Hawks snapped him up.

How about we create one for once, even considering how mediocre we are in developing talls.

Hindsight lol

Have I missed something whats the buzz about ruck depth.

Soldo had an arthroscopy ? I don't get the angst its just hit December.

Lets just ease off the panic button a tad.

We may have let CJ go but there wasn’t a cost effective replacement available willing to be traded into number three on the order. We weren’t going to draft Conway at 9 or trade back for Ladhams. Sit and wait was the right play this year.

Insurance play might have been a rookie pick mature age.
Take a chance on a big lug of 25yo who maybe matured late and now has a solid body.
We needed to cut another player for that, but so be it, get the depth where we need it.

I would guess a combo of Balta/Miller are our fall back options if Ryan isnt ready and we need someone.

Really hope Soldo is all good. If not & Nank goes down, we're in a spot of bother.
Reckon Balta goes to the ruck in that case and Miller replaces Balta down back. Gibcus will get a run too.

With or without a follow up arthoscope a ruckman, coming back from a knee injury, tends to take a further 12 months to get back to anything like his best before the injury

Who needs Father/Sons when you can tap into the Croatian giant community?
