Position 2024 Rucks

[Judd_Magic]

Think I’m going to fade Grundy and go with English/Gawn combo.

Looking at Timmy’s scores last season, it’s hard to pass and he’s someone I don’t want to be chasing and finding bank to get him in. A genuine vc/c option.

English and Grundy imo. Looks like Gawn copped a niggle during the Swans game which had alot to do with his poor second half.

 

[Kadog]

My only issue with English as C/VC option is im almost never gonna pick him ahead of Bont.

They’re the 2 top dogs. You run with the form.

Too many writing off Gawn and I’m all for it. Short memories. Conditions in Sydney and past records at the scg all against him. I’m super confident he’ll bounce back and be dominant.

Naismith can't play forward though.

No, but Nank can rest in defence.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

No, but Nank can rest in defence.

Is there a chance Nank plays more forward/2nd ruck to Naismith for a few week?

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Personally I think Naismith will play even if Lynch is named.

Kosi,Ryan & Dow out Dusty,Nank & Lynch In.

 

[Nelso]

No, but Nank can rest in defence.

Richmond are not going to rest Nankervis in defense.

That is absolute madness.

 

[54Dogs]

I think it comes down to how new coach values a second ruck. 2 talls coming in with Lynch and Nank, Ryan def going out. It's either Naismith fwd and second ruck or use Balta

Yeah I'm giving him another week. 40 trades this year means it's easier to 'carry and look'

Damn it Bevo, wait until AFTER Round 1 to say this. Do me a solid for once, campaigner

I've culled Gawn for Jackson

It just makes my overall team structure better. Happy to burn a trade from Jackson to best ruck once Hodor is back or simply move him forward

Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite me in the ar**

Wouldn’t read too much into that. Probably just means Lobb gives him more support than last year.

Since when have we ever believed what Bevo has said .....it would require a miracle to trust him

Richmond not tanking this week?

 

[54Dogs]

Looking a bit deeper not sure about Jackson even if Darcy is 8 weeks and Reidy not playing. His 3 scores over 120 as ruck were against Fort, Hayes and BJ, outside those 3 he averaged 96 as ruck vs McLean, Stanley and Reaves/Meek.

The rucks he'll face early will be McInernary, Xerri, ROB, SDK, Soldo, BJ, English, Nank, Grundy, Marshall. Prob only 2-3 decent chances to score really well in that group.

There was a tweet earlier saying Flynn could be back in four weeks, which is in time to play Freo. So he might not even get BJ

 

[TempletonTheRat]

So he might not even get BJ

bet he was looking forward to that too

I came to the same conclusion .....if Jackson only solo rucks 4 weeks, he gets 3 pretty tough rucks as opposition ....tough from the perspective, those 3 guys will be using their arm extension .....with Jackson being a leaping Ruckman

Also ....Jackson hasn't played for 3 weeks ....missed the PS match, possibly with a niggle .....he's going to be short on match practice, and bigmen take a while to get their timing right for marks

He said in an interview after training today he has some back tightness
