Well, with AJ Kuol Mun off to Werribee a really good ruckman is now near the top of my wish list, second only to a really good key forward. He'll be very difficult indeed to replace - we could make Jimmy Miller the main ruck again (assuming he re-signs - especially with this news I certainly hope he does), but then we'd have to replace him up forward, and Kuol Mun did have better tap work than anyone else on our list.
New signings are Lachie Wilson from Richmond VFL, where he won their best and fairest two years in a row, and Josh Tovey from Collingwood VFL and Blackburn in the ENFL, where he just won the ENFL Premier Division best and fairest. With the WIlson and Tovey signings it looks like we are trying to recruit to replace Hooper.
I think I see Miller as a back up ruckman rather than a main one who could play there our of necessity but also much needed as a tall forward.
Josh Chatfield who captained footscray vfl last year has also signed- not sure if this was posted already. The signings so far seem solid but so have been the departures and their could be another one announced soon that would be equally as disappointing as the AJ announcement.
