Rebuilding a tall order for Seagulls

Re: Rebuilding a tall order for Seagulls

The young ruck man for the Pies was spirited but vastly inexperienced so Roughead in particular beat him but I can see the potential for niggling injuries mounting up with these two. Mulligan might have been able to provide some support but that's doubtful now.

What percentage of teams* would have experienced ruckmen who would be able to work over our young guys?

* Team lists would have probably changes a fair bit from last season, but would you think it might be atleast 1/2 of the competition?

It would have been a better gauge of how Roughead and Cordy would have gone if Cameron Wood was available yesterday. Whilst he isn't the most physical of players at the very least it would have been a vastly different outcome in the centre square contests.

Not sure how many ruck man are running around in the VFL but there will be a decent sprinkling of solid contributors.

No Cordy for 2-4 weeks and Mulligan also out means Willi's big man department is going to be severely tested.

Going to be tough on Roughy.

Boumann would have to be a direct swap for Mulligan, and i wonder if Prato will be thrown into the deep end, with next to no experience? I wonder if Faulks has ever played in the ruck!
