Browne or Gus?

[MadTigerFan]

Who would you prefer to play for the rest of the season?

 

[Crumden]

Derrickx

 

[acr2751]

both need to play

 

[Rubber Hips]

Both. Don't tell me we can't bloody play 2 ruckmen FFS

 

[Dustin Credible]

Needs a neither option.

May as well play an extra midfielder and forego contesting in the ruck. Can't be any worse than these two

If fit try Derickx or give Vickery more time as first ruck.

 

[TimeFor11]

I picked Gus just because he has shown he can impact the clearances more than Browne and probably around the ground too. We actually came to expect something of him where as of Browne we almost seem happy with mediocrity.

 

[THE_GUN]

Browne ........................ He is still young enough to learn & become a decent ruckman in the future.

Gus ............... Well gus will always be gus an average vfl ruckman at best

Angus Graham should never play another game for the richmond football club, If he cant dislodge a 20 yo 2nd year ruckman & dominate at vfl level

He shouldnt be on an AFL list 5-6 years is enough to recognise that he is just plain sh!t

Jesus Gun ... Browne was a hologram today

who knows ?

Unfortunately with both in we will still be short of two ruckmen.

I gave Browne a vote last week, but I am now starting to really worry about the way Dimma views things.
Its ****ing embarrassing seeing Browne in the side.

 

[tugga]

Neither of them are up to it.
We need a ruckman, some more inside clearance mids and some key backs before we are decent.
Am starting to think santa claws may not be a troll after all.

 

[THE_GUN]

who knows ?

As i said he is still a kid & shouldnt be expected to go up against warnock & kruezer .................. he is excused for a bad showing because of being played 2 years before being ready.

But we would again ZERO with gus in the team apart from stealing valuble experience from browne/derickx

How long can we persist with gus ............... we already know his limits & its no where near afl level

 

[Hipster Doofus]

I don't know.......does it matter??

dude you might already know Gus's limits, but i can guarantee ya, Browne has no limit. i.e. there isnt a point where you can actually say ok he has reached it..there is just a vacuum of nothingness. Just a tall bloke lost in the fog..

 

[TigerTank]

A few years ago, when we had zero ruck stocks, Shane Tuck filled in as ruckman for several weeks.
He did no worse than either of the current options, and he is my height.

Gus has been lost in that fog for 6 years & we are still waiting for him to come out !

We really dont gain anything with graham , just a wasted place on our list

Last draft period i was all for drafting 2 rookie rucks and the players that i would of liked to have seen on our rookie list instead of miller & hislop were Leif Cope,Andrew phillips,Johnathon Giles

The last 2 are currently on GWS list.

All 3 of these players would of been better value than Angus Graham

 

[TigerTime88]

What about bringing Brendan Gale in....

Potentially bring Richo and Gale out of retirement and get them to switch around in the ruck.

Any half decent ruck in the comp >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gus>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Browne

 

[Tigertriumph]

how about none of the above as both of these guys arent good enough of holding the number 1 ruck spot moving forward. Every week getting smashed in the clearances and contested possession count,by golly hope we trade for a half decent ruckman come trade time.

 

[Infamy]

It is a little like choosing between Ebola and the bubonic plague

 

[Chops18]

I'd rather Gus than the bumbling Browne. They should have the Benny Hill music playing every time Browne gets anywhere near the ball.

 

[Strawbs]

Can't fault their effort but they just aren't up to it. Yes, Browne is raw but you've still got to show SOMETHING. If he was getting flogged in the hitouts but popping up around the ground and taking a few marks or going forward and snagging the odd goal, at least we'd have something to hang our hat on - come to think of it, he does remind me a bit of the hatstand my nana used to have. We'll have to trade for a ruckman or try to convince an uncontracted one to join us.

this hits it on the head on all counts.

 

[Lach72]

What's happening with Derrickx?

 

[Cathal Brugha]

What's happening with Derrickx?

He grabbed the last Tiger flight back to WA.........as for Gus and Browne......no I don't want to think about it.

 

[IDGAF]

Maybe the CAFA should ground us after today

 

[captain blood 17]

Gus has to come back.
