How good is Hicky actually?

Me and Ben McEvoy would beg to differ Con.

rule to live by. never use a good draft pick on a ruckmqn.
they will only disappoint. like all rules there are freakish exceptions like nicnat but i wouldnt part with anything under 30 for a ruckman.

Niknat, Kruezer, Jolly, Mac... most of the time the top one or two rucks are taken by the time 30 comes around.

Darren Jolly was #31 in the Rookie Draft in 2001.

not sure what you are trying to say
it was the 2000 rookie and we took oliver at pick1, how many games did he play

st ick said jolly was a high pick - he wasnt. he was a rookie.

im saying nicnat is a freak.

but apart from him i wouldnt use a top 30 pick on a ruckman ever. its too risky.
thats what im saying and thats what im sticking to.

f***!

What a generalisation. Who's gonna play in the ruck?

Blakey has to retire sooner or later

and Collingwood parted with pick 16 to get him from Shitney!

We're doing much the same with the GC although Hickey is about 8 years younger than Jolly when Collingwood drafted him.

Does it make sense now?
