Umpires: 1 - Donlon, 8 - Rosebury and 24 - Harris

Pannell too...

 

[Mav]

no idea... and ridiculous that he would have played in the ruck AGAIN.

It's interesting that we see him as a small forward but he is 6 foot 2!

 

[The Dingrel]

Out: Zurhaar, Hrovat, Turner
In: LDU, Walker, McKay

mix things up in the fwd line with Maj, Benny, and Taz rotating through there to keep them guessing. Scooter on buddy, with McDonald giving him an extra bit of attention. Although wouldn't mind seeing Maj use Buddy as a step ladder. Would get a lot of airplay.

Here is the presser:

By this presser seems like Larkey is coming in

 

[Hojuman]

By this presser seems like Larkey is coming in

Yep. One of Larkey, McKay or Durds. Maj will stand in Buddy's way and if that falls down it'll get swapped around.

Maj on Alir would be good.

Richmond won a premiership with Grigg relieving Nankervis in the ruck, so I didn't think it was ridiculous for Zurhaar to relieve Goldstein

A lot of clubs are employing this strategy. Geelong have used Dangerfield in this role.

There was a time when any bloke over 6 foot was viewed as capable of being a ruckman.

So criteria ~190cm, big build, can hold their ground, can also get contested balls.
closest player we have then is Lmac: 189cm, 89kg.

Even Liam Anthony once got a hit out (I think)

we ain't Richmond and tigers don't have other ruckmen.

i saw that match and when Danger did they lost all the clearances. Imagine if he got injured too.

I might be wrong but I don't think Zurhaar hurt his ankle in a ruck duel

It was in a tackle.

Lmac just slightly less than Zurhaar who is 189cm and 90kg according to our website

 

[scooby1279]

no he didnt but imagine if Danger hurt himself.

 

[Gasometer]

It was a farce

 

[The chorus]

we ain't Richmond and tigers don't have other ruckmen.

They have Soldo who is quite a promising ruckman, but obviously they don't think having two tall ruckmen is good for team balance

12 July 2018 6:25 PM

Forward Nick Larkey could line up for his first AFL game of the season, after being named in North’s initial squad of 26 on Thursday.

Larkey is currently second in the VFL’s goal-kicking list with 29 majors from 12 games, and has been a standout in attack all year.

The 20-year-old, who played two games in 2017, is among five inclusions in the Roos’ squad.

Running defender Alex Morgan and midfielder/forward Will Walker are both chances to debut in the clash against Sydney, while Luke Davies-Uniacke and Tom Murphy are also in the mix for a call-up.

Morgan and Walker have been on the cusp of selection in recent weeks, both named as emergencies on multiple occasions.

Cameron Zurhaar is the only confirmed out at this stage, sidelined for an extended period with an ankle injury.

The final 22 will be named on Friday at 5pm AEST.
