Can someone confirm ???

Crows are in deeper s..t now, with basically no rukman, well experieced one anyway.

Don't think its going to be a good year somehow, especially with no reliable tall forwards either.

Better do some late recruiting i think !

No, forget the late recruiting of fading name players - there has been too much of that.

I'd go with the promising youngsters and see what develops, even if it means rotating 3 young ruckmen - one forward, one on the bench, one on the ball, and keep a fresh competitor in there all the time - even if it is just enough to nullify any potential dominance from an opposing "name" ruckman. There had better be some intensive ruck training going on though.

The lastest I read on Biglands was a "strained medial ligament". I don't think he should be relied on to carry the ruckwork anyway, even if he comes up OK in the 3 months as now estimated.

I don't think anyone but Bock will play CHB.

Bock will be the interesting selection, will he play CHF ot CHB

IMO Bock could be an elite CHB, however, he may need to plug CHF

CHF play at CHB in the Crows floodline anyway!

Although this is sad news for Rhett I am actually looking forward to the Maric / Griffen ruck combination - I am sceptical of Mummbles thoughts most of the time lately and the fact that the decision is out of his hands will benefit the club in the long run.

I am also hopin that both Tippett and Sellar play in the same team for the crows in the season proper - start building those foundations for the future now !!!

I also think Bocky must play CHB for those who care !!!

I agree, Bock is a fantastic CHB and could be in All-Australian calculations if he played the whole year there. I think that Craig will be forced to play him forward quite a bit though, unless one of the younger brigade stands-up early.
