Aaron Sandilands is 35 years old and was an AA in 2014 which would have made him 32 .Your point???AN_Inkling wrote:In three years he'll be 30 years old and near the end of his career.Magpietothemax wrote:Whatever the cost, keep him. It's quite simple.
There is no knowing what he can be in the next 3 years.
He's worth keeping but more as a backup than a definite first team member. If he doesn't want that then he should leave. I don't think he's going to work as a second tall forward and at 27 he's not a long term answer anyway.
I've been enticed by his improved play late in the season, but the more I think about it the more I hope he leaves. We've stuffed around enough, and lost enough games, trying to fit two rucks in our 22. Our team looked best with Reid forward or with a small forward line. I don't want us to waste another year trying to play a ruckman at full forward. If he's happy to mostly be a backup, great. If we're going to try and turn him into Paul Salmon, no thanks, it's going to fail.

Great move IMO.
2 tall forwards and 3 ruck options with Moore, Cox and Grundy in the team together.
Goldie first option for the defensive forward to apply forward pressure
3 small forwards got a bag to choose from, Billy, Fas, and De goey would be first choices, with Daics, Kirby, Brown, Blair (if Batmod doesn't get him), Mayne, Crocker and others to rotate through.
Here's a good look at where our list is at.

Thing that leaps out for me, is Key Forward.
If we're going to buckle Cox and grundy into the second tall forward spot, FFS draft a decent young prospect who can have 2 years development time.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Clubs trade for ruckmen who're 26+ all the time, who've played F all games but are finally coming good as they mature.Raw Hammer wrote:People saying he's already 26 forget the fact that his body hasn't been pummelled with pre seasons and match day for 8 years since he was 18. His body is essentially 23-24 in AFL terms.
I agree about his body, he could potentially play to 35+
