#1 Ruckman

[koutawalker]

This year we have 3 players who can play in the ruck. French, Mott and Angwin. IMO French and Mott will share the ruck work and Angwin will be a used as a back up. Out of Mott and French i think Mott will eventually take over the ruck by the end of the year. My reason for this is because i think our game plan suits Mott more than French. I think French should start the season in the ruck and Mott will play second to him until he gets a few more games under his belt.

Anyway who do you think will be our #1 ruckman?

The three ruckmen are French, Mott & DeLuca. Angwin is on the rookie list and can not get elevated to the senior list unless there is a serious injury.

If French dishes up more of the same in 2004, then expect Mott and De Luca to leapfrog him by the end of the year. I suspect the improved midfield may look French look better by reading the ball from the opposition rucks palm a lot more. Mott is a monster and IMO, we can use his size and his strong hands. Not sure how his kicking skills are coming along.

I'd like French to prove me wrong - because as I understand it, his training ethic is second to none.

If Mott can hit some form though - he'll be number one. He's more creative and can be an attacking ruckman rather than just a workhorse.

There was a 2x15min half game last friday, I watched the first half and in my opinion Mott outrucked French, around the ground French seemed to get a bit more of the ball.

The Old Dark Navy's is spot on Mott is a monster he is a man mountain.

Alas Jimmae, why doth thou insist on coming forth and uttering such poisonous words towards your fellow man? Come hither and make haste so that we may drink from a chalice of wine made under the feet of a score of beautiful maidens and consolidate our bond as members of all that is proud and traditional at the famous Carlton football institution. Woe betide any man who would stand in our way and attempt to put the Blues asunder for our justice will be swift and just.
