I'm not really sure about this. At first I was totally against but on thinking about it more I think it could work quite well. My only issues would be salary wise wouldn't want to be too much, plus how he fits with the young player group. He would have played under Longmuir at Collingwood so I couldn't imagine him being able to big note himself too much. It also depends on how he fits in with the Jacko/Darcy comradery and teamwork, plus how he deals with the likelihood of him spending a fair amount of time at Peel assisting in the development of Aiden Riddle. Worth mentioning also that Peel have signed up a mature age ruck from Myrtleford in Victoria, 20 year old Toby Cossor, 207cm, 110kg.to replace Liam Reidy. Apparently there are good wraps on this guy and he's a competitive beast so not sure how the big man department would work with him, Mason Cox and Aiden Riddle plus Corey Tregenza who also pinch hits in the ruck along with his forward duties. If anything, I can see pressure placed on Jye Amiss to lift his rating as he and Cox seem the 2 players who may compete for a tall forward spot in the line up. All in all though, probably not the worst option compared to Teakle and Boyd, the other 2 options floated for a ruck berth on our list. I'd also comsider picking up young Cody Curtin from Claremont in the draft if possible as he appeals a very good tall forward/ruck option going forward in the mould of Riley Thilthorpe, a Freo supporter, models himself on Josh Treacy and has also spent some time training at the club.
