A good spot to be in this year I reckon. Huge competition for the ruck spots. Who do you think will get the job out of the following candidates?

James Sellar
Paul Mugumbwa
Alistair Gillespie
Brock Higgins
Myles Bolger

The way I see it Sellar is a proven AFL ruckman with experience and a big body to mix it with the other apes in the comp but could also play CHB or CHF. Higgins is a ruckman with good WAFL experience who probably doesn't have the same flexibility but could easily hold down the number 1 ruck spot and let Sellar free.

Gumby is more of a burst ruckman as we know who can change a game in 10 mins on the ball or up forward. Gillespie is also very versatile but could even be a real danger lining up on a wing with his speed and height and floating forward as well. Myles Bolger needs to show why he was a strong draft chance a few years ago and grab a few games this year show some hardness. Will probably start in the 2's you would think.

Good competition for spots this year in the big man department. Gillespie, Pullman, Saunders, Mugumbwa and Mills up forward and Borovac, McIntosh, Ross and Monaco down back and the ruckman.

For mine I think Sellar will be the swingman while Higgins , Gillespie & Bolger maybe even young Zac Strom will lead the rucks

Mugambwa would only pinch hit mate along with Pullman when not at CHF

Looking potent up forward this year with multiple options for the first time in years even Monaco could go forward at times

on paper SF height wise will be one of the few sides to match EP and Peel this year in that area.....as for a potent forward line?....time will tell I guess.....

Gunna be some ripper derbies this year Frosty .... awesome bring it on mate

Sellar proven AFL ruckman????????????? Did I miss something.

With your forward line looking good Dogman I reckon Sellar will be holding down a key spot down back.

Higgens will be in your top 2 recruits this year for you blokes, Souths will be top 4 material for mine !

totally agree with you on that comment leedy...I reckon SF will edge out WP for that final 4th spot.....

yeah I reckon the derbies will be a tad closer than the three last year southerner....

Could well do Freeze, thats the 2nd time you have mentioned that mate, new material please !

says the fella who knew all n sundry...AND repeatedly told all n sundry about the Kraks - 'will he or won't he, how much was he' transfer saga.....and from memory....was quick to remind me and every other EF fan in the state of WA, more than once, how fortunate EF were to beat a second string WP side last year

......seems like a case of selective memory here leedy, research shows it is one of the first signs of alcohol related dementia or as a result of turning up ones car stereo to loud too often...... apparently what most WP scarfed/beanie piss drinking 40+ year old bogans tend to like doing ...or am I getting you mixed up, with that front seat buddy of yours, who dons the black/white beanie and scarf most weekends sounding off at the umps?

Haha, steam is rising from the land of the "big white cloud", selective memory my sphincter, the transfer fee is $15k and I knew he was a very strong chance to line up for us long before you and your mate Olsen started piping up about complete horse shit !
