I agree with your top 3 ruckman and its more important to concentrate and develope those blokes. Do You really think that Aisake will be hanging around Carlton much longer??

1. Cameron Cloke
2. Matthew Kreuzer
3. Shaun Hampson
4. Setanta O'hAilpin
5. Aisake O'hAilpin
6. Sam Jacobs (rookie)
7. Cain Ackland

Yes, I legitimately believe that they would elevate Sam Jacobs to the senior list before selecting Cain Ackland, and he will be out the door at season's end without another senior game.

And this is a good thing. Since the late days of Parkin, we've had recycled ruckmen, usually old, exclusively; Mark Porter was the last ruckman we blooded ourselves. Amongst them:
1. Corey McKernan - success for one year
2. Barnaby French - very capable; probably our only other success, particularly since we traded a draft pick that we would shortly afterwards have been stripped of
3. Dylan McLaren - failure
4. Trent Hotton - dodgy back-up ruckman, not very good elsewhere
5. Ricky Mott - two games, one of which was St Kilda putting 31 goals on the board.
6. Lindsay Smith - same year as McKernan. I think he was a ruckman.
7. Chris Bryan (from Frankston) - complete failure as ruckman; jumped a full second early almost every bloody time.
We also pursued Trent Knobel but Richmond got him, and picked up failure Callan Beasy and handy-but-better-as-a-forward Adrian Deluca in the national draft.

Now we have five young ruckmen that we're developing ourselves, and Cloke who is still reasonably young and may end up bucking the recycled trend. Thank God for that.
