There will always be a part of me that will feel like we could have gone very deep into finals in 2017 if Gawn had been fully fit for all of it or even if we’d had Preuss playing games like he did against Carlton this year in Gawn’s absence. Just because teams have won flags without quality rucks in the past it doesn’t make them overrated. On the one hand we arguably played better football in 2017 without an AA ruck than we did in 2018 with one. On the other hand, basically the same line up didn’t make finals in 2017 but did in 2018 when you throw a ruck in.
