Interesting RE lobb, what % of ruck do you see him playing with darcey

40/60 probably , but I would like to see 100% centre square and forward plus 20% with Darcy doing most of his work around the ground

It sounds like you are asking from a fantasy perspective rather than a football one and I don't know anything about fantasy ... or probably football for that matter

No chance if the likes of hughes matera colyer tucker giro ballas nyhuis banfield under serious consideration
Think thats real rough on Hughes and Tucker. Two of our best in JLT and both have played some really high quality games for us in the past.
Hughes certainly has some limitations around his ball use, but then again so did Ibbo and he was elite for us.
Tucker I can't really see an argument against? Has all the tools just hasn't put it together that consistently in the 2 years hes been on an AFL list?

I like Tucker tagging. Has trouble finding the ball but the oppo gun mids will lead him straight to it. Banners did a good job doing it for a first year player, but he has no trouble finding the ball himself.

Very close I reckon. Schultz in front of Giro is an interesting one, and they might go with another ruckman.
 
If McCarthy cant get a game with this injury list we may as well delist him and pick up a mature age recruit (are we allowed to do that with the rule changes?). Him, Hogan and Lobb with Lobb rotating through the ruck is fine. Do not want to carry a ruckman who plays for like 40% of the game (at most) and does nothing else.

Would be shocked if we did that tbh.
 
The sad thing is i didn't even forget about Cam, he's just not worth talking about right now
Yeah, more in response to RGauci above. As much as we hang s**t on Dardy, he has been in our top few goal scorers every year we've had him (speaks more about us if we're being honest but still)...

He'll play rd 1 at this stage and he should be fine as the third tall, will be good having a whole two players (bhill) who know how to hit a leading forward

Yeah I'm with you. And Darcy can always rest forward at times and play that big tall target to at least bring the ball to ground role if we need it when Lobb is rucking. Plus we have Fyfe, Mundy and Walters all pushing forward... plenty of targets. I'll be a bit surprised if they don't give McCarthy a shot as the 3rd tall in Rd 1 - seems like the ideal time to give it a try. Three good kicks across half forward, 1 in the middle, and 1 on the wing...

B Hughes ~ Hamling ~ Ryan
HB Wilson ~ Pearce ~ Duman

HF Mundy ~ Hogan ~ McCarthy
F Banfield ~ Lobb ~ Ballantyne
I/C Tucker ~ Brayshaw ~ Cerra ~ Giro

EMG Colyer ~ Nyhuis ~ Jones ~ Shultz ~ Bewley ~ North (that's all we have available)
