I'd never really seen much of him prior to this year as I don't watch much VFL so my comments are purely based on first impressions.
But he strikes me as an unflappable type and a little more mature than his birth certificate suggests. In his post game interview on the Cats website I thought he came across as a guy who knew what he wanted and has some serious internal drive to prove a few things.
I might be very wrong though.

I know that it's a thread about Ruggles - but doesn't Guthrie look like he stepped it up a couple of notches this year?

Id agree with that , he comes across as having a certain confident air for someone with his background. I would have seen 2 or 3 VFL games last year and I doubt I commented on him at all..obviously VFL player do draw less attention as they can not become AFL players for us , but I can remember commenting on Rees and a couple of others.. when I look at him there is something that reminds me of Brad Sholl.. be good if he can replicate him.
I'd like to know what he is called internally , nicknames for him seem to be rather unimaginative.

Agree completely
In terms of the Mackie replacement (Thurlow the obvious one in 2017) for now then I'd probably say Cunico reminds me more of Mackie then Bews does. But sadly Cunico is no more. #RIPCunico
How did you all rate Mr. Rugglesworth's game on the weekend? Seems a solid outing.

Official Cats said he was on a modified program... Was it a Toohey type issue it Hartman like...
Sad to see him leave the club...

Nah no story about him aha I was just mucking around, as far as I know he's on a modified program but confusing as to why he isn't on the injury list though :/

Solid is a good way of describing his performance...certainly deserves to hold his place....seemed to have sublime foot skills which won't go astray in this Geelong side.
I thought he made Christensen look pretty ordinary on more than one occasion.
We have very few players that fit his model/style. Bews is the obvious one.. overall our backline is in a state of transition... Thurlow, Kolo , Henderson , perhaps Guthrie , now perhaps Ruggles are the new group... Enright will go at the end of the year..so if he is up to it.. there is a place for him.

Another solid performance with little to critize, hopefully he stays in for the next few week to be able to judge him better.
But based on his last two weeks he honestly looks like he belongs there .

Ah let the kid express himself you're only young once and besides it'll be hard being an individual in a team environment.

Love that. Thought he was great against the Roos last week; probably his best game so far imo.

Already got a toast thread for being upgraded, but he deserves it bumped for his past month or so of footy. He has been excellent. A very consistent year, in fact.

He has some sort of an attack on the ball as well.
And was one of many that were into Stringer every chance they got
It's good to see a defender with a touch of the Scarlett aggression about him, hopefully they put him on the main list at the end of the year.
