He has to play next week v saints … he was again fantastic today
I wouldn't bring him in. Saints are almost as small as Port atm, so I don't think there's a need for two rucks, especially on the fast deck at Marvel.

I'd be more inclined to send Blight into the ruck from down back whenever Keeler goes in and persist with Bauer and Armstrong as the Godfather's henchmen up forward.

You might be right …. I just like to reward good vfl form which is what he showed today
 
Not sure why people are bagging this guy

If Nank went down tomorrow he is our only option and when he has rucked at VFL level full game he has been very good so its not like we can just pluck a gun Ruck from state football.

He is cheap and is a backup we must have and if he develops in the next 2 years great and if he doesnt then big deal
lets face it , If he was fantastic right now he would have left to play for another team so whats the point bagging the kid

There was a moment in the last quarter when he threw one hand up in a marking contest and then stood still and watched a Gold Coast player pick it up at his feet and handball it forward. I always wanted him to make it but that was the final straw.
 
I feel for the bloke to be honest. He genuinely looks imposing at VFL level but then goes to water at AFL level.
I never understood why we committed to him for three years.

He isn't the answer long term. He can't be the one to replace Nank as our number one ruck.
 
Was unsighted for 3 quarters and when backed in and given a shot to start in the middle in the last he gave up 3 centre clearances with no resistance. Writing is on the wall for him sadly.
What are you on about? Ryan clearly outpointed Witts in the third of those three. Tapped it straight down the throat of TT, who dished off to Ross and we were out.
