No point "dominating" the ruck if the mids and CHFs can't use the taps, or if the taps are all sharked by the other mob's mids.

He had two other offers on the table.
I didn't like our chances the last couple weeks but I am oddly confident for this one. Having our preferred ruck/fwd structure back in place is massive.

Not about the position, it is about the team, the effort and the commitment.
Worner can do at least as well at the weak ass efforts Luke Ryan has produced for the last several weeks.

Erm, there's literally no one better than Ryan on the list for the role he plays.
Henry did his time in the WAFL and was likely 22nd picked this week, the only person replacing Hughes is Chapman, and you're having a lend suggestion JOM is even close to getting dropped.
Some posters have a hard on for Sturt, the reality is that with Darcy back he gets forced out, it doesn't mean he's done, he's literally just outside the 22 and will be the sub.

JOM is garbage and hgasn't produce anything against any decent team, totally wash up player who we just gave a four year contract (plus other stuff) up to get. Repeat, JOM is garbage that adds nothing against any decent side.
Henry has done nothing despite being gifted multiple games this year.
Ryan's "role" this year has been to hobble around, drop off and fail to contest, and whinge at other players. He was one of our greatest defenders, he isn't now - as Broughton, Duffield and SHill show, when the end hits it hits fast. Trying to pretend that your failings can't be bettered by anyone else on the list is just garbage.
You just dropped a bloke who kicked 49% of our score, and was our third highest tackler.
No "hard on" here - just a desire to reward actual on ground performance after the most miserable pathetic performance of the last two and a half years - yet we take the best performer overall and dump him just so Hughes, Henry, Ryan and JOM can stay in the side. Garbage selection.
Simple question for you and the rest of the pro JL crowd - have we ever in our history ever dumped, for non disciplinary reasons, a player who scored nearly half our score and laid our third most tackles? Ever, in our entire history?
Follow up question 1 - has any other AFL side ever done that (dumped, for non disciplinary reasons, a player who scored nearly half the team's score and laid the third most tackles for the team)??
Follow up question 2 - has any VFL side ever done that (dumped, for non disciplinary reasons, a player who scored nearly half the team's score and laid the third most tackles for the team)??
Follow up question 3 - has any WAFL side ever done that (dumped, for non disciplinary reasons, a player who scored nearly half the team's score and laid the third most tackles for the team)??
Go do some research and get back to me. Hint - it is a ****ing short list.
Same. Essendon we're ordinary against WC a few weeks ago and we've got back a side much closer aligned to that winning pre bye.
Parish & Merrett would be easily our best mids this year, if they played for us. Serong stiff, but that’s where we’ve been. Our midfield has been very very disappointing this year

That doesn’t surprise me. He has loads of potential and just needs more game time.
He will keep getting better just like Treacy.
Yeah you're right. We should replace one of Hughes, JOM, or Ryan with Sturt. Good thinking.

Omg this is hilarious. I'd say it was brilliant if you weren't so serious. Raging like it's a Facebook comments section. Pure emotion and zero rationality. Good passion.
JOM was awesome vs. Melbourne as just one example. He's definitely had his struggles, but he's had some great games too.
What universe are you in suggesting Henry has been gifted games? He literally hasn't, he earned them and has had a few games where he hasn't performed. He was in our top ten on the ground last weekend.
Saying Sturt kicked 50% of our score is a perfect example of how stats can be misleading and used to make poor arguments. We had a historically bad game; claiming a guy is awesome cause he kicked 2 goals is um, I'll just say unfounded.
Did you know, that the player who kicks the first has kicked 100% of their teams score until the next goal is kicked!
I don't know if you realise, but you're argument is as dumb as the one above.
I'd imagine both would be gone by now.
Toby Greene tore him a new one tbf.Drop Ryan for Worner, wow
Also as much as I hate Ryan I'm not calling for him to be dropped. I'm just saying if he was dropped he's not irreplaceable.
And it would be Hughes for Ryan and Worner for hughes. Not Worner for Ryan.

JOM had just come back from suspension and the bye..

Bringing up that Sturt kicked 49% of our score or 40% of our goals is so redundant. We kicked 36 points. 5 goals for the whole game. Say it for what it is. He kicked 2 goals. 14 points. Us being absolute dogshit does not make his performance any better when he didn't have to deal with any of the giants good defenders.

Greene has done that you a lot of blokes, he's one of the best in the league
Doesn't change that Ryan looks fat and unfit. There's getting destroyed by good players, and there's getting destroyed by good players and not being able to keep pace with them for a single contest.

Woweeee..the Sturters are taking it damn hard..having full on meltdown 
Hearing comments like I hope he leaves and throws it back in our faces, I guess is a variation of I hope we lose cause I don't agree with the selection and get my way
Also this repetition to ad nauseum saying he was one of the better ones last week isn't saying much. Nor is saying he almost kicked half our goals last week, when it was only 2. I'd be more impressed if we kicked 10 goals and he kicked 4 or 5 .
