McKay to Ruck?

 

[Saintly_]

Which is more important, winning this game or 2018?

Cannot have it both ways.

Of course it's 2018.

Winning a meaningless last round game to screw up our ND and PSD would be ridiculous.

[giantroo]

McKay to Ruck?

Fair chance. Will split the ruckwork with Lachie and Durds. Please no Brown.

 

[Kanga Glory]

agree, brown has to stay away from ruck contests too too valuable as a forward

 

[boneofshin]

Meh with the outs we have we can barely field a team, I don't think we're tanking at all, kind of using this as a possible farewell game for a few veterans in LT/Hansen

Zuuhar had to make way for one of the ins
Jed had a decent game
Fordham is unlucky, I think they may rookie list him

Hope we win

Fordham is a rookie. Has been for 3 years.

Avoiding the wooden spoon is not a meaningless game.

[Event Horizon]

I still see him as a forward, and would like to see him there even this week.
No need for him down back, as we already have Thompson, Tarrant and Durdin.

Durds looks like he will be playing forward according to RZ. Could switch Taz and use Hansen forward as well.

Fighting for pick one is not a meaningless game?

Yea, I would say Brown, Lachie and Durdin/McKay up forward.

[Robertsonroo]

Apart from a win I want just one thing.....NO REPORTS!
It seems every season we start with a player ( or players) unavailable .
I want our best 22 to play in Round One!

 

[Horizons_00]

Durds looks like he will be playing forward according to RZ. Could switch Taz and use Hansen forward as well.

Forgot about Durds
Maybe him and McKay could share the Ruck duties?

I got a sneaking suspicion we may come out firing on this game haha leave nothing on the park

[Prochard123]

Would you guys tag Beams or Zorko or neither?

 

[Saintly_]

Would you guys tag Beams or Zorko or neither?

We want to lose for obvious reasons, so neither i suspect.

Usually i'd hope we tagged Beams before Zorko if we do have a crack.

 

[giantroo]

Would you guys tag Beams or Zorko or neither?

Nope. If we were to tag, we would tag Rich. That's who we tagged the last time Ben Jacobs was fit.

 

[year of the roo]

Would you guys tag Beams or Zorko or neither?

Ryan Lester IMO.

 

[Forever North]

Would you guys tag Beams or Zorko or neither?

I think we should tag Cunnington and Brown,

 

[Bigeasy]

Would you guys tag Beams or Zorko or neither?

I doubt there will be much defensive pressure applied in this match. Expect Beams to have 35 disp and 3 goals while Zorko will have 32 and 4
