Player Watch #27: Max Heath – traded from St Kilda

[Topkent]

Bit over analyzed here. Marking at VFL level is piss easy for anyone who isn't a spud, on the other no back up ruck is being traded for anything worth of value. Pretty much every half decent ruck started out as a worthless back up. Worthless position really for the most part

Yeah, I mean it's to make any sort of judgement at this point.

But hey, he's the right age and size, was cheap as hell, and will get a couple of years with Gawn while hopefully getting some seniors time with the extended bench.

If we can turn him into an average ruck by the time Gawn retires then mission accomplished really.

Nice to finally have someone else over 2m tall bunch of short people

I’ve never agreed with you that ruck is a worthless position. Or Leigh Matthews for that matter - though the rucks of his era were mostly relatively immobile tap men that you hope can mark it from a random long kick in.

A mobile ruck that can cover ground or rove their own work can be a real asset. Though the new rules look like buggering up the position again.

Exception not the rule, most rucks are just tall blokes. There's very few that genuinely impact

He's no Spruce Pruess. But then again who is?

Go well Moose.

Bit flat that we traded a cult hero, but it's good to see him get more opportunities.

How thick am I, his nickname is Moose, we have the ORIGINAL Spruce Moose.

Love the big Mooza. Hope he goes well with your mob. Reckon he will too. Good luck.
