Preferred Ruck Combination 2008

[MBIB]

It's been talked about in threads, but here's a poll since now Kreuzer's signed on the dotted line.

Make this based on ideal ruck situation for 2008, not just who you think will start.

Based on 3 rotating.

I hope I didn't miss any I got confused writing them out...

To start with Cloke and Kruezer.
As the year goes on I would love to see Kruezer and Hampson.(This Duo will dominate for years to come)

You beat me to the poll! LOL

 

[Lajon]

I selected "Hampson, Cloke, Kruezer" but should've selected the last option as I would like to include Aisake as well.

Do not want to see Ackland in the seniors though unless hes completly changed his approach to the game.

 

[HBF]

I would have thought we'd only go in with 2 ruckman, considering Carlos will be in the team each week, and I suspect we'd be a bit too top heavy if we went in with 3.

If go for Cloke and Hampson first up, and let's see how Kreuzer goes with the Bullants (his old home ground with the Knights) before we throw him into the deep end that is AFL footy.

 

[Beloved]

I beleive it should be Hampson, Cloke and Kreuzer, it would just be good to see. All are certainly qualified for the position (Excluding Hampson ATM, he is fastly developing).

 

[marcmurphy3]

We won't play 3 rucks in a single game.

 

[audas]

Cloke and Kreuzer can go in as forwards.

It's only theoretical!
Just vote dammit

 

[DIG]

Short term it could be any sort of mix and match, but i can't wait for a few years time when the Kreuzer/Hampson combination is the envy of the league.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Cloke, Hampson Aisake. Dont want to see Ackland at all this year besides in the Bullants.

I did.

 

[MBIB]

I did.

Well....good then....!

 

[LennyLeonard]

Cloke, Hampson Aisake. Dont want to see Ackland at all this year besides in the Bullants.

Would Kruezer be ahead of Aisake as far as development goes?

 

[Blue Dimension]

Imo Aisake will probably play more games than Hampson, Cloke and Kreuzer next year.

Aisake will be in the senior side the majority of the year if he is good enough to hold a spot. It's his time.

 

[gandaal]

Cloke as an automatic, to be backed up by whoever want that spot the most.

 

[BlueBelle]

Hampson, Cloke & Kreuzer for me

(not necessarily in that order though)

 

[Blue Dawn]

Imo Aisake will probably play more games than Hampson, Cloke and Kreuzer next year.

Aisake will be in the senior side the majority of the year if he is good enough to hold a spot. It's his time.

Would be a HUGE turn up for the books but lets hope he puts his best foot forward and stays injury-free.

 

[Dramoth]

I see it being Cloke and Hampson as the ruck duo with one resting on the bench. Aisake will more than likely fill the old ruck-rover role and Kreuzer coming into the situation later on in the year.

As of this year, our ruck stocks are good enough that we shouldnt complain about it. Apart from if Ackland gets a run in the seniors which I only see happening if there are major injuries in the team.

 

[Blue Through and Through]

Cloke and Hampson, with Kreuzer to be eased in, in the second half of the year.

Anyone apart from ackland - i would rather murphy be in the ruck that ackland - at least you know we would get a contest.

 

[Michael Jezz]

One of Kruezer or Hampson need to play every week barring injury

 

[Staaar_Blue]

Would like to see Cloke start 08 as he has warranted selection. Hampson to follow. As for Aisake would like to see it but don't think it should happen straight away. As for Ackland I would honestly like the lazy prick to get a kick up the ass and start playin at full tilt if he is to do so. This year he had no one pushing him for a spot but that has to change to see whether he really is a worthless prick. Don't want to see him playing if he brings his soft fancy crap to the games.

 

[PeeKay]

Regardless of Ackland's inconsistancy, I think he should be in the team. He is vey tough and aggressive when "on- song".
With so many kids in the team we need an nforcer to protect them. Neither Hampson or Kreuzer are anywhere upto that standad as yet.
Cloke will play across the half forward line and some forward boundary rucking.
The other two (Hampson & Kreuzer) will play a few weeks at at tie each i an effort to look fer their young bodies whils giving them game time.
I'm not sure where Aisakeis at as far as footy skills & smarts??

I bought a Cain Ackland fridge magnet for $2.50 from the Carlton shop today. They are selling like hotcakes, great investment I reckon.
