Preview RD5 Cats and Eagles gather round a Crow near the Port of Adelaide or something like that

[Generalissimo]

Ollie Henry is two inches shorter than his brother. 186cm. No way is he going to ruck.

Ollie is around 191cm.

The only confidence I have in Knevitt is his best game of football for the club was in the AFL.
He couldn’t be further than playing his preferred position, I’ve written off players who have shown far less, patience this time

 

[Jumping Jack]

Ceglar = ruck or bust, but mainly bust. We've seen Stanley play behind the ball which gives us flexibility with him after centre bounces, but not sure we have flexibility with Ceglar or if he could necessarily take the bulk of ruck work around the ground if both are on the field at the same time - and not sure a dedicated ruck interchange is a good use of the interchange cap, as that's what would likely happen with one of Stanley/Ceglar on the bench most of the time

Neale = injured

Henry = Ollie

Horses for courses.

There’ll be games where we don’t need to hold down 2 big opposition forwards. In that scenario, I think Sav can pinch hit game time in the ruck.

I’d prefer him rucking to Ceglar anytime.

Barring something unforeseen, Ratugolea is there for good, even after Henry returns.

I foresee not enough spots in the team.

Relentless or belligerent negativity OR positivity, especially where this is done to annoy other posters will not be tolerated. In assessing this issue mods will ask the question "is this poster genuinely interested in discussing or debating the issue?" If the answer is no, expect the mods to take some action.

Glad those words were a lasting contribution of my time as mod.

 

[catempire]

Why is rohan listed as omitted?

A+ trolling

 

[catempire]

Not sure what they see in Knevitt.

I'm confident I can crawl backwards quicker than he moves forward.

no way is OH rucking, ever, I hope. Way too small, young, and valuable

 

[Mr Meow]

Is it too late for Bews to remodelled as a journeyman ruck while we're at it?

You do not foresee the inevitable injuries that WILL allow this to come to fruition.

It's possible more than probable.

They've put Kolodjashnij on a wing before... they'll find some room somewhere

 

[feelinfeline]

Ollie is around 191cm.

189cm according to the club's website, so somewhere in-between the two of you.

I was looking at Henry walking next to Rohan last week and to me he looked a tad bit shorter than Rohan... Rohan is 188/189cm I think, so I would be pretty confident in thinking Henry is under 191cm.

Although I hope he is and my eyes were just messing with me.

Ceglar played well last game

Has anyone mentioned that Hawkins will draw level with Corey Enright in 2nd place with 332 games, and Mitch Duncan will pass Paul Couch and move into the top 15 games played at the Cattery on 260 games?

Yes

One of our regulars that goes by winty raised those milestones


Wonder if it's something for this thread - Toast - Potential milestones - 2023 edition.

Would love to see Mitch make it to 300.

One of my favourite Cats ever. <3
