We haven't had a genuine fullback in years adn as mentioned many times before Grover does a great job but struggles on the gorillas. I think we need to seriously look at drafting someone that can fill this position.

Listening to the Subi vs WP game and Rumble sounds like he goes okay. Would he be worth a re-look?? I can't remember what the reason for us delisting him was but he is the WA fullback

Chuck, Rumble is about the same size as Grover - both 188cm, Rumble is 94kg, Grover 97kg. He doesn't have too many gorillas to play on in the WAFL.

Been there, done that.

Rumble - you have to be joking...

With talk of Mundy wanting to go to richmond, I wonder if Alex Rance will get a mention in the trade. I think we would have to get more than that but not sure what they would offer with him - if they do at all.

Agree that we need a fullback but a class midfielder with the first pick or two.

We have a few guys who can play FB and cover most teams. I don't think it is a priority. Be hard to cover Franklin but no one else stands out as someone who would cut us up.

Anyone else just watch Geelong smash St Kilda? If Geelong is a prototype, you draft young stong midfielders with clean skills and do the disciplined thing of running both forward (as attackers) and back (to help out the backline). They also need to be strong in the one-on-one contests, winning their fair share. They also need to be able to cope with tags and find ways of losing tags, both individually (through hard running) and as a group (think: the way the Weagles protected Judd and the way Geelong protect Ablett). Finally, they need to have the stamina to do this for four quarters, not just one, two, or three quarters. It seems like in the modern game, this gang of midfielders helps out the backline so you can protect the fact you don't necessarily have the prototypical "gorilla-killer" fullback.

Scarlett is useful.

So is McPharlin?
