Don't forget the developing Thurlow. Injury didn't help his development this year. Bur at least there are three ruckmen. I'd get him off the rookie list onto the senior list for Jetta's place. Look how badly Geelong are looking when it comes to ruckmen. A good tall is always an acquisition.
GILES!!
SHAZAMM
Welcome Jono!
He had a very good first year and then his second year was not so good and then Mummy came in this year. I haven't watched much GWS can someone fill us in on what happened to him in the last two years?
Has he ever rucked against Paddy?
I’m not as enthused about this one as others but at worst we have provided some ruck depth for Belly (who I reckon deserves a crack at being first ruck).
Perfect replacement for ryder. What’s his level of laconicism? Can’t be up at ryder levels surely.

He works hard, Get's forward and can kick.

When it comes to laconicism, he's like the anti Paddy from all reports.
Goes hard and goes often. 2nd & 3rd efforts a notable feature of his game.
Well done EFC and Giles. We made the best of a bad situation. Cautiously optimistic about this trade.
ThanksWelcome Jono!

Two of his three games against Essendon included *spit* Ryder. See afltables.com
I’d say a seasoned ruckman is exactly what we needed and this guy was the best option on the market so I would say a good get. Should be good value in supercoach as well

Reckon we are in front just on the stats alone.
A pickup so perfect for our needs I almost don't believe it.
Pretty much this. Good ruckman,can take a grab and kick a goal. Plus we now have two very aggressive nasty rucks. I love it!
Welcome to Bombers Jono, you won't regret choosing us over the crows.

The colours they wear have changed things in my heart and now in my mind.
Giles is better than Ryder.
Ahhhh that feels better.
Giles v the Sook will never happen…the Sook will develop a sore fingernail and pull out.
