Well Ruck Me.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Natanui also frequently grabs onto and pulls away the opponent, you saw a few times where he grabs the waist of English and used his momentum to remove English from the contest entirely.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Just the facts Jack. Just the facts.

Stef Martin
34 years 7 months

2021:
5 games without injury
2 games injured in/after (Achilles & Shoulder)
7 games missed to injury at this stage

Out for another two or three with a groin. Three seperate injuries now. Whilst I’m not wanting to sign him to next season, if there’s room in our soft cap I think he could be really important for a few seasons. Our main competitor rival rucks are Gawn & McInerney, who Martin has played with them at Melbourne & Brisbane. Plus he’s got 15 years experience and would have great insight on how to tactically deal with all the rucks in the league. With English still developing, Sweet trying to get his career moving and Darcy going to need to add technique to his 205cm, a very well seasoned ruck coach seems like something which would be nice to have now into the longer window. Martin seems like a good candidate. Like Bevo he can give up the other stuff and just focus on the weights.

I'd keep him on a bare bones playing contract if his body isn't completely cooked by year's end. It means we'll have a break in case of emergency option AND a ruck/stoppages coach we don't need to pay out of the soft cap.

I can still see him being huge in September for us, it might be his last real crack at one.

Can envision an influential finals series swaying a call on his future

Isn't Steven King still at the club?

He is senior assistant, number two to Bevo

And one of the best ruckman of his time. Perhaps he doesn't have time to be a ruck coach?

Isn't he our stoppages coach?

If Sweet was getting game time I would have Martin in his ear when he goes to the bench.

Excellent idea. I’m sure that would have made a difference in the Melbourne game.

Re: Well Ruck Me.

AFL.com saying Rory Lobb is gettsble. Has ties to Victoria. $700,000 a year.

He’d be the type of ruck Bevo would like. Lobb & English rucking and playing forward…

Pass... like huge pass!

Not sure we would want big $ tied up on 2 ruck/forwards with neither really fulfilling the no.1 ruck spot.
