Minson and Hudson

Re: Minson and Hudson

Absolutely. We haven't had a real decent ruckman since Wynd. Hudson looks composed and calm under pressure - he reads the play well and is able to drop into the defensive zone ala Wynd.

Luke Darcy AFL mvp 2002 in the ruck??? With Jeff White set new standards for the mobile ruckmen.

bit harsh on Darcy!

Very harsh on Darcy.
It would be fair to say we haven't had a decent ruck combination since ................ can't think?
Darcy/Wynd? They were too far apart age wise to really form a strong combination.
I like Hudson/ Minson because the opposition rucks get no relief from big aggressive jumping hard fighting brutes. Minson is set to be a real tower of strength out there, I also think he and Cooney are developing a genuine rapport. They seem to know what each other is going to do. Very handy combo.
I think poor old Streety is definitely consigned to back up duties at best.
I know it's only the first round but it seems the Hudson/ Welsh trades both get a big tick.

Darcy and Bandy were a good ruck/ forward duo in 2002?? Not sure the year, but I know both kicked 20+ goals as well as being very good/ mobile ruckman.

Re: Minson and Hudson

Famous last words.

Remember a bloke that kicked 7 goals in his 1st game at the club.

I know. but Welsh at least has a solid history of goalkicking.

Guys - my apologies to Darcy. Not sure what I was thinking in that regards.
