Sweet Jesus: Should Jordan Sweet be our first ruck?

[Rocco Jones]

OK a little bit jokes but I am mainly starting this thread so the weekly MC isn't so bogged down in one discussion. Gary please delete if you see fit.

Why is Sweet an elite AFL tap ruckman? What to do with English after we prioritise Sweet's role? Why Sweet is the difference between us underperforming and becoming unbeatable?

Whilst I am kinda taking the piss, I truly believe this thread is 'needed'.

Re: Sweet Jesus: Should Jordan Sweet be our first ruck?

I say no as most AFL ruckmen are better than the top up rucks he comes up again a lot of the time in VFL. Also, not as simple as a lot of Sweethearts (Sweet fans. Maybe Sweet Tooths?) make out to simple have English roaming around the ground and dominating. Chasing around/play a mid role much harder than running around with a ruck and a different role to even a high KPF. I get it if you want Sweets hitout work but you are simply not going to be able to get English's around the ground work as well.

We could elevate him but that AFL might consider that cheating

Clearly AFL counts Sweet as two players in CBAs.

Just him in the centre square. We can deploy Bont, Libba, and Ads elsewhere. Sweety will make the opposition retreaty.

He's got the opposite skill set to English almost. It's like they had their DNA separated and placed into two Neanderthals Prof. Frankenstein style.

Sweet is a good body player, however that alone just doesn't cut it anymore and until he gets better around the ground he will always be the backup.

Never mind this I wanna know how we can get Schache, Lipinski and Young back.

Under the Les Enfants Terribles program the Patriots devised a plan to clone Big Boss, the greatest ruck of all time. Sweet got all of his dominant genes, and English the recessive ones

Correct me if I?m wrong but at least two of them were in the group that gave us some final wins less than 2 years ago.

Now we will go to the footy to see if someone can get less than 0 touches of the ball. I am confident that we will find a way of achieving new depths.

personally I preferred the 2021 game plan.

May I ask why you are comparing disposals for a forward pocket and a ruck? (I think Arty shouldn't play in the seniors this week btw).

Exactly correct. But he should be a backup in the 22 so we can execute Plan B when necessary.

Getting no touches around the ground would be no worse than Arty and still better than JOD gifting 2 goals.

Was it Rocket who had Minson at centre bounces as the ruck rover a few times?

Maybe Sweet ruck and English as RR. Why not?

Thing is Arty and JOD play peripheral roles. Sweet in the ruck means we lose out on Sweet generally owning rucks around the ground. The notion we can get both with English as a mid, it'll be a massive difference having English opposed to a lumbering ruck vs expectations as a mid.

FWIW definitely do not want JOD and Arty in the 22.

We should've traded Sweet and kept Lipinski.

Reply with for yes or for no.
