Re: Well Ruck Me.

Minson gone backwards again. Shocking game tonight.
I would like to see Campbell come in next week

Is Campbell really ahead of Cordy?

No I don't think so GVG.

Cordy had his chance, now Campbell should have his.

Do you really believe it's as simple as that?

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Can you imagine the vitriol if Cordy returned the results Minson or Roughead did today.

I left the question mark out of that sentence on purpose.

Both were disappointing weren't they? Offered nothing around the ground and were lucky Martin and Leuy were just as bad.

Roughy hasn't had a great year IMO. Even down back he has struggled a bit. Not a fan of Cordy at AFL level but wouldn't be surprised if Minson made way for him.

I think Will is safe, Bevo presser said that none of the rucks were having a good night so Will got subbed for some more run.

More hitouts than Roughead playing only 2.5 quarters

Gotta do more than three disposals

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Yes I do

I don't believe that sharing the ruck to someone who hasn't necessarily earned it is the right way to go. We have established and excellent pathway from our highly successful VFL side and yet many seem to be more than comfortable to ignore the form displayed at Footscray.

Now I know later in the year we are going to have to make the hard call on some players and opportunities might be granted more than earned but at the moment as far as I'm concerned it's still more around picking the best players each week.

I think he did do more, he was a real physical presence at the stoppages and controlled the ball down to our advantage regularly. He was also doing a bit of enforcing. There was one sequence where in between goals in the second quarter, he was roughing up 3 Brisbane defenders at the same time after one of them pushed one of our smaller players (was it Hrovat? McLean?) around.

Roughead only had 8 in 4 quarters

I don't think any of our rucks are delivering what we'd like at the moment

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Bizarre theory time; game was scrappy due to both sides coming off a break. Big guys take even more time to adapt after a spell.....

I don't believe in gifting players a game, but I think Campbell is just about ready to step up. He has been consistent over the past few weeks and his ground work has improved as well. I do believe he is better than Cordy as a ruckman.

But Roughy is our #1 ruck.

We don't need Campbell to be a better 'ruck man' whatever that means in this modern game. Who cares if he can win a few more taps. The role of the second ruck man is to play forward and fit into the defensive structure when not rucking.

Is Campbell better than Cordy at this?
