Marchbank gave us our one.

Why isn't Charlie one too?
Surely he's been on the LTI list?

Is a Crocker type player our most immediate backup need?

I'd say KP backup is a greater need.

Having lost McGovern to the hammy, the ruck situation is even more serious.
I've this horrible fear, Pitto or Levi get injured so we ruck BigH, ............ it's Carlton's way, you make em, we break em!

Yes, fair point. But my hope is that we can negate the opposition ruckman to a degree by our stoppage structures and set ups.
My fear is that we don't really defend as it stands now. If Jones goes down, we're in a bit of trouble. If Weitering goes down, we're in deep do dos and you can confidently shut the gate on 2021 IMO.

Crocker will get a taller player at AFL senior level, Tigers often use Grimes on small players who have marking skills like Eddie, Cameron, Ryan etc. I dont mind taking the punt with Crocker as its a cheap gamble but I wouldnt be expecting bags of goals like at VFL level and he would have to improve his defensive game like I have said previously.
Reminds me of a slightly smaller version of Dean Galea the ex Port/Williamstown mid sized goal kicker...
