List Mgmt. ROB Confirmed for another 2

[LoBu]

Would have thought an experienced midfielder is #1 priority... but let's reassess during the season.

I actually believe our ruck work lets us down, just look at the two crucial games we lost last year - Jacobs vs Giles and Jacobs vs Nankervis. I think our midfield is better than a lot of critic say.

We generate a lot of our goals from the half back line and run the ball down. When the ball goes back in the centre we are particularly vulnerable, especially against Sydney and Western Bulldogs and WCE.

If we don't get first hands after the ruck contest, our mids look worse than they actually are IMO

 

[LoBu]

Grundy has the advantage of ROB simply because he is playing AFL, Give ROB a few games and he could be better.
But this year I think we will see a better Jacobs more so due the 3rd man up rule.

I hope so. Grundy always had hype, I'm not sure ROB is held in as high regard.

Impossible to tell about ROB until he gets time in the middle with our best Mids, But he would be arguably the best Ruck running around in the SANFL this year.

good on ya ROBster

on another note - that forearm to head ratio is astounding...

 

[Jack is Back]

This is an excellent move by the Crows.

He is ready to step up if required in the next 2 years. If not, we can get something for him in a trade.

 

[Coopers]

There is this too:

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Honestly thought he'd be the first player on our current list to walk to another club.

Nah, that's Mitch McGovern

 

[TexForPM]

Bloody ripper.
McLovin and ROB live together hopefully it rubs off.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Good signing. We certainly need some back up in the ruck. I'm still not convinced with him yet but hey we've got nobody else coming through have we. Sauce is a massive worry for me more so than our lack luster MF. If he goes down we could be in for a world of pain. Good luck for O'Brien though I hope he continues to improve.
Somebody please teach him how to kick though..... Geeez!

The old fold your arms and push out your biceps trick.

 

[Houston]

Struggling to get excited for this one.

 

[maxlilly]

What I like about him is that he is hard at the contest and can take a pack mark.
It would be interesting to see how tall he is now. He has grown a bit since being recruited.
Good luck to the lad, he has some great tools for a ruckman
Funny how that film clip showed him slotting a couple of goals

I don't mind it. Don't think it precludes us from taking another ruck (a more modern day one) in the draft going forward, but keeps up our depth in the short term should something happen to Sauce.

and Dear and I think Gore is living with them as well now.

Party house

I would wait on that, a couple of very good talls coming thru next year and a few possible 200 plus mobile rucks in the academy squad again coming into the game in the next few years. And Himmelberg has not stopped growing, yes they are future prospects but at this time the Crows seem set with Jacobs and ROB Does Grundy offer more than Jacobs and ROB to the Crows

Are you talking about Brodie Grundy. The one at Collingwood, that one?

 

[Sanders]

Good to know that the future looks bright (again) on the tall man front. I don't think we have much chance to get Grundy anyway, but I would take him over Jacobs and ROB in a heartbeat.

Well obviously. As would anyone.

We'd be prying Brodie from Collingwood out of eddies cold dead hand.

What is a modern Ruckman? Does he have bionic arms and legs?

 

[crows dude]

There is this too:

Nothing wrong with his kicking there

 

[Geoffa32]

He is not AFL ready quite yet.

Next year he will just about be there.

I can see him being quite a good tap Ruckman and he us more than handy around the ground, when he does not need to kick lol.

Yes he is no athletic ruckman, but good big guys usually win out against smaller athletic guys over a game.

Apprenticeship over and time to start putting some real selection pressure on Sauce

All those straight kicks for goals are clearly the outliers.

His MO is the off the shin shank apparently if the comments on here are anything to go by.

Yes the one that rucks,
