I think being the 'main man' in the ruck will suit TBell.. also means we won't be going in top heavy when he plays.. which should quicken up the team a bit..
Very important and *could* have us saying "paddy who?" by the end of next season... yes, I think he can be that good.
Near the end of 2013.. it was seriously hard to pick who was better as the primary ruck man.. so this kind of answers the debate.
I'm keen to recruit a guy like Giles etc as 'back up'... don't want Carlisle having to ruck if TBell misses a game..

Giles will be a great pick up.
With Port in the box seat to snag Ryder we should focus our attention in getting Giles.

ankles! autocorrect on the phone
You should be going into the season with two mature bodied rucks, one young kid and a rookie type ruckman. IMO we only have one of those four. We need to get a Giles type to the club but I'm not a big fan of him.

Needs a solid pre season and will be a VERY good ruckman for the club with stints forward.
Train hard over summer Belly ; )
Will be the recruit of the Summer. GO TBELL!
Good to hear he is on the mend. We need a big year from him.

Why would it be any other way. I think Giles is quite good he lead GWS fine but TBC can be a hell of a player once hes fit and we are assuming this to be the case otherwise anyone not fit especially bigs just about dont play.
Before this year i was a huge fan of TBC. Last season seems to be limiting my view and opinon on him like others and it really shouldnt. He was quite good before this year and still very much on the improve

Hes not going to be that Ryder, Mumford type ruck.
Its certainly his weakness.
Hes going to be what we know from him. A ruckman who can get his hand to the ball. Take pack marks around the ground and forward or crash them up front. Push forward and hit the scoreboard.

If he's there he chucks his weight around, if he's not there he doesn't make an effort to get there at all, that's about the bones of it for me
Would love him to model his game around Mumford, Tbell wont be the mobile "extra mid" type but he has the size to be a wrecking ball in a congested situation or crash packs. Mummy isnt exactly quick and mobile either but his work rate is excellent and his tackling numbers are remarkable which makes him such a beast.

i also think he has another weakness - its something about his marking style, its either a one grab pluck or its dropped, he naver manages soft hands to grab it at the second bite, or juggle.
