Well Ruck Me.

Meek was listed at 106kgs in his overage year and was a full time ruck.

He was never skinny like Croft.

He needs to watch his weight - he is a big boy

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Thanks Mof, just going by what was written in that article. I can't believe an AFEL accredited journo could make such a mistake on a fringe listed player from a low-click interstate club - they normally get things wrong much closer to home and at bigger clubs.

AFL journalistic accreditation seems to be about as difficult to obtain as my pen license was.
Some really shoddy work has gone out this year in the rush to be either "first" or "edgy".

None of this changes my real worry that Timmy can't get it done when it matters. IIRC we haven't won a final with English as first ruck? What we wouldn't give for peak Hudson who was no star but was brilliant in supporting the mids when the ball hit the ground.

you should include the date: 2022 wasn’t it? He got 20 hitouts and 22 in 2023.

I thought it was a perfect summary of our last 6 years. We had the perfect plan, just can?t find the perfect person to make it work.

And it has cost us decent players in the process.

So you reckon Naughton would prefer the ruck or CHB?

He can kick goals from the ruck

Re: Well Ruck Me.

Was going through the jumper numbers on the club website. Saw Gardner is now listed as ‘RUCK’.

So that’s new.

Gardy's played ruck/forward at VFL level to either give Buss the FB spot, or because Buss is already a better defender than he is (probably both).
I'm probably a lot more bullish on Busslinger than most based on VFL form. I was really impressed with his back half of the season. Old school 'not quick' full back who can kick it a mile and marks as often as he punches.
