Roughy had an extremely impressive game today, showcasing his mobility and skills. Also showed good strength in the ruck, nullifying and at times beating an absolute mountain in Sandilands.
Minson has had an average year, seriously affected by the Soy milk incident and his recent ankle (?) injury, but is a 100+ game player now. Had an average game for Willy by all accounts, but still seemed proppy so a week or two away from seniors at least.
So the question is...will Will get back into the side, or is Roughy doing enough to hold down the 'second ruck' position?
My opinion is that Roughead's mobility and skills are better than Will's, and he so far has not made any critical mistakes. He provides a strong marking option in the forward line, having three shots at goal today (although Will has seemingly improved his contested marking this year).
I think Eade will get Will back into the side due to his experience, but I am really impressed with how Roughead is going and would feel completely comfortable with him in the side come September.
