Where is this guy at? Possibly the worst ruckman in the competition. Slow, cumbersome, shocking at ground level. Laycock not much better either I'm afraid. The bombers have some serious ruck problems and have kept these guys too long.

Thoughts?

Can they drag Salmon out for "one more season"?

FWIW Patto>>>>>>>>>>daylight>>>>>>>>>>cloke/hamsen/hackland.

He's had 1 bad game out of 6 and you start a thread like this?

 

[tim17]

Give him a break, he is basically holding the ruck for essendon by himself.
Hopefully at the draft some talls will be picked up for essendon

 

[jimmy35]

Hilles been pretty good this year apparently . I thought we may have been spanked in the ruck today but thankfully , we weren't .

It's not just this one bad game is it? He's an ordinary ruckman. Zero mobility and doesn't do enough around the ground. How much longer does he have?

If you rate him that's ok. Im just saying he's no good and should have been moved on along with laycock.

 

[tim17]

Yeah he has. Bombers need scott lucas back bad

They have to make do with who they have. why dont u suggest something they could do then

 

[thewhippersnapper]

WTF? Worst ruckman in the league? Are you mentally disabled? Have you watched any Essendon match this year other than today?

Get a clue or stick to bay 13.

Hille single handedly got Essendon back in the game during the third quarter last Friday against the Saints. He was like a man posessed.

The thread starter has no idea. Hille is a vital player.

 

[DonMania#5]

Let me guess, today was the only Essendon game you have watched for the year?
He has been in our bests for the other 5 games.

Couldn't agree more - in the best 3 or 4 ruckmen in the competition I would have thought.

 

[tim17]

does anyone know when lucas will be back ?

Ok then, he's the best ruckman in the AFL. Is that better?

I just don't rate him and I think he's had more than enough time.

 

[drewie_rama]

website mentioned something about him being a month ahead of schedule, still looking at least round 11 id say

 

[Dan26]

Apparently his knee is 4 weeks further advanced than expected.

But I guess they won't want to rush him back in, so I'd still expect him to come back around the mid-season break.

Hurry, up, Scotty.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Too heavy,
by 10kg,

No mobility,
no leap,
no fitness,

But he has decent skills for a biggie.
Has been like this for 4 years.

Used to play in the ruck myself,
so any advice from here on in,
will be treated as such.

You have to be joking. Surely. He has the turning circle of a truck. Honestly.

serious question
apart from that one season, do you think that simmonds has been a much better ruckman than hille?
