NORTH Melbourne ruckman Todd Goldstein says he is ready to stamp his authority on the Kangaroos' No.1 ruck role after Hamish McIntosh's departure.
While Goldstein has carried the Kangaroos' ruck division in McIntosh's injury-enforced absence in the past two years, the 24-year-old said he needed to step up and "make the most" of his new seniority.
McIntosh joined Geelong via this year's trade period after seven years at North.
"It was sad to see 'H' go, we were all very good mates with him," Goldstein said.
"But I think we have got to move on now and try and stamp our own authority on the game and our own footprint at the club.
"Probably in the last two years with his (McIntosh's) horrible injury run that he's had, I did have to step up and take that role. I enjoy it. I think every player wants to be the No.1 in their position.
"It's definitely a role that I take on. Coming into my seventh year now, I do really need to step up and make the most of it."
With McIntosh restricted to just seven games for 2012, Goldstein attended the most ruck contests in the competition and was ranked third for total hit-outs.
While eager to progress he also wants to see other ruck prospects develop.
"I think we've got a pretty good group of ruckmen now with Daniel Currie being brought on board, Majak (Daw) and Ben Mabon really starting to lift up," Goldstein said.
