If we actually recruited a semi decent ruck/forward we wouldn't have needed to play Young.
It's why I liked Casboult. Jack of all trades, master if none. but was very handy Jack in all of those trades.

Probably going to be left to Harry again next year. We'll likely get Amartey, not my first choice but a decent enough player to support Harry. Makes it a bit easier to play Harry in that role and not have Kemp and Gov left there when he rucks.

Its why i was so 'positive' on Jack Silvagni.

Having him as a 2nd ruck was great for team balance and why we never needed 2 rucks.
Forward/back/ruck.....Young is a poor version of Silvagni and worse in all 3 areas......but still the best we have.

He's older than I am so he not young, so hopefully nothing has gone amiss. My first thought that something isn't right and he'd be everywhere on here. Top notch poster.

Just a quick update.
I have had no reply to the e-mail that I sent to EB1
Several members have tried to contact him through PM's with no response.
Unless he returns to posting, it's a situation where we may never know the reason for his absence.

I have actually been trying to do some searches based on what I know of EB (Mark) and his background to see if I can make contact with him via another way like LinkedIn or something like that. No luck as yet.

Yet he is still the best option for that roll that we have.......which is a blight on our list management.

We should've had players to do this roll drafted years ago, but constant neglect has left us here.

Very true,  which is why several of these duds get games every week.   If there's even a remote chance that Blakey wants to leave, then we should make him our trade priority this year.

As good of a player that he is, I don't think we could sell it courtesy of our Carlton Respects campaign.

It would hurt the club and everything its trying to do.
Unless we could somehow manage to get him to be a poster boy of righting wrongs etc etc
Propaganda machine would need to be in orverdrive for that to happen.
