Just talking to a carlton mad mate in Melbourne about our ruck situation after comparing our 2 rucks vs Sainst 2 rucks.
If Austin picks the Best ruck in the WAFL and the best ruck in SAFL, they will be better for us in 2027 than Pitto and reidy.
Its a must.
There will be up to 10 spots to fill come years end
2 Draftees Walker plus (hopefully) another 1st rounder (2026 rnd 1 x 2)
1 Promote Charleson (2026 Rnd 5)
2 Rucks (SAFL/WAFL/VFL) (2026 Rnd 3) (2026 Rnd 4)
1 FA (Best we can get KPF)
1 Trade mid (Humphries) (Ist 2027 2 x 2nd 2026)
1 Trade mid (A grader) (1st 2027 2nd 2027)
1 Best available mid (2026 Rnd 3rd)
1 Rookie
Leaves us next year to play with
2027 Rnd 3 & 4 & 5
2028 Rnd 1, 2, 3, 4
I feel we can get this Best 23 humming in 2027 after another preseason and a smart coach if we get our picks right.
Fkn hell Round 9 and I'm looking at list changes, and looking at targets.
Pitto has a contract until 2027 and Reidy until 2028.

That is correct. That's the good thing.
We were going to spend 1.1M to keep TDK.
We have lots of salary cap space.
We have at least 10 changes to fill after delistings.
Reidy costs us 3-350K and Pitto 400K.
We can keep them on the list or pay one out (no need to do that)
We have to do the right thing by the midfielders and give them a good chop ouut ruck and a ruck for the second halves next year.
Its time to at least find our No 1 ruck and worry about the chop out in 2027 or from Harry or HOK. Tassie compromised draft next year.
