Richards....
Just on this, Smith and Stanley are both wiry athletic types who are made for Mummy, Tippett and Sinclair are much more solid and I would very surprised if Mummy smashed them like he did to the Geelong praying mantis ruck division. Having said that Mummy will prob win the ruck but it wont be a smashing. I also think you are under rating Grundy like everyone else does, but Richards is more or less cooked and could be exploited.
Mumford is shorter than both tippett and sinclair ....where on earth do you get Tippett doesn't play well against a physical ruck? Youve made that up, ill cop sinclair could be bullied but not Tippett.Keep telling yourself that. Sinclair is no taller or heavier and Tippett has the size but doesn't play his best against a physical ruck.
Ill bet you any amount of cash that doesn't happen.Lobb will kick 5+
Steele is future but not quite there yet.Our mid is hard to break into ATM.Just a question guys as a mutual.
Jack Steele didnt play in NEAFL last week, was he the stand in emergency for seniors last week incase any late outs?
IMO with the swans midfield the Giants will need all the cavalry they have up their sleeve to go toe to toe with the likes of JPK, Parker, Jack, T Mitchell. I think Steele will be a required player this week with the grunt he can provide in the midfield.
For mine the changes I would make are Marchbank -> Patfull and A Kennedy -> Steele
Mate the simple answer here is that when people discuss the best ruck options in the comp Mumford is in the conversation and Tippett is notMumford is shorter than both tippett and sinclair ....where on earth do you get Tippett doesn't play well against a physical ruck?

He's also played full forward for the majority of his time at the Swans, switching to a more present ruck role in the second half of last season. So he generally isn't considered a full time ruck.Mate the simple answer here is that when people discuss the best ruck options in the comp Mumford is in the conversation and Tippett is not
He is serviceable
im not disputing that at all im just saying he wont be blown off the park ala that Twig combo set up Geelong presented.Mate the simple answer here is that when people discuss the best ruck options in the comp Mumford is in the conversation and Tippett is not

its also easy to visualise the sight of Tippett's head flying back at the slightest hint of high contact, in search of a free kick. Saw this plenty of times while he was at the Crows.He's also played full forward for the majority of his time at the Swans, switching to a more present ruck role in the second half of last season.

I'd say Mumford and Naitanui are the two genuine power rucks in the competition.

Still, I do think you are right that it will be harder for Mumford to physically dominate Tippett than it was vs Smith. but still possible. And I think GWS need it
yeah righto mate you're a genius, you are the footy almanac.You compared Sinclair and Tippett to Stanley and Smith (the two guys Mumford monstered last weekend. Sinclair and Stanley have virtually identical stats and Tippett is short by a bit heavier than smith.
Give yourself an uppercut. I've been watching Tippett for years having grown up watching the crows and still watching most of their games and catch plenty of swans games. He is very susceptible to the physical stuff
yeah righto mate you're a genius, you are the footy almanac.
Jesus.... Here I was trying to have a chat about footy and I get this... You're a legend mate enjoy the game.Cool story, Hansel!
Don't be like that :-(yeah righto mate you're a genius, you are the footy almanac.
Cmon dudeGive yourself an uppercut.
