    2nd Ruck

    Which is better against Josh Fraser:

    - Chambers

    - An underdone Doyle

    - A young'n like Shaw or Erikson.

    He would probably only last 5 minutes so I think he is out of the equation.
    Fraser is actually a clever a ruckman so I don't think Shaw or Erikson would have the experience to go with him. But then they really couldn't be any worse than Torture, could they? I know very little about the young guys, can they take a mark around the ground? Can they kick (again probably no worse than Torture)?

          It will be Chambers. I will stake ScottH's life on it.

            PS When the recruitment of Chambers was first mooted prior to the draft many of us voiced some concern. It was even suggested that rather than spending our 2nd draft choice we ould scour the lesser leagues and secure a mature bodied bigman. Not with the expectation that he's be the next Cox or White, simply that he could give a contest in 2006, while our young ruckmen developed.
            Well St.Kilda went down that path, picked up a 25 year old ruckman and I think he looked better be than Chambers (certainly less expensive)!

              Rix was a fantastic pick up for the saints, why couldn't we get someone like Rix instead of a walking lamp post that dosen't function properly.

                He's already got better stats than Torture.

                I'd run with Josh Kennedy for 2nd ruck - looks a likely type.

                          Perhaps we should scour the VFL ruck stocks, it seems there have been a few plucked from there in recent years. Deluca, Bryan and now Rix.

                              193cm...don't know...how's his leap?

                              Would he be heading it or tapping it?
