Jesus Christ, our bloody ruck department!

Plan A in the ruck now: Fanning

Mercy!
Wont be much of a problem this week as Essendon also are struggling for Ruckmen. Most likely Cartledge will be in for only his 3rd game and Bradley to help out. So should be an interesting ruck duel on friday night.

Cameron Cloke - hate his attitude off field, and maybe even on field, but looking at it, he was our only half decent ruckman. Josh Fraser is named to return if completes a fitness test, if not - i dunno.

Exactly. What club do you really go for? :mad:
I go for Collingwood have done since 1986 and always will. Since that time I have supported every player who has worn the jumper and will always.

Presti on Lloyd
Clement on Lovett
Maxwell on Lucas ??

Is there an obvious match up for Wakelin this week ???

Possibly he could be used as a back up for Fanning this week, a follower rather than a ruckman, this week only ?

Give Fraser another weeks training if need be !

Hall will debut.
You'd think Wakelin would play on Johns(if he isn't dropped) , after Merrett kicked 4 on him last week you'd think he'd want to restore his pride-no matter how good the Lions delivery is.

Seriously why? whats he shown? Essendon did that with Johns last week, for his previous 5 VFL games he had about a combined 10 touches :p Theres no point.

They'll ruck Fanning all night, and if Josh is uninjured, he'll be the relief off the bench for 10 min a quarter.

*Edit, disregard, just read he is playing.

No news in the papers about Cam being out for the season though. It says he is out this week and doubtful next week and will have an operation at the end of the year.

Good luck to Big Bad Bustling Brent. Hope he guns, God knows we need it. Trav is next in line to ruck, after him it will be Presti!! Its also an ominous sign that Tristan Walker seems to be disregarded, could be the end for him maybe?

Wakelin on Lucas. He deserves first crack at Essendon's best forward. I'd like to see Maxwell forward as an experiment and J Cloke taking Essendons third tall forward.
