Back in the day we were interested in Sier, he trained with us prior to the draft.Constable and Sier delisted - both 191cms - both could play ruck for us
We had 13 between Young and Timmy, Sweet only had 64% game time too so itās not like he rucked all day. Not claiming it as anything to write home about just pointing out that itās a bit silly to completely write off his stats for the time - it was a good debutBoth those games had 2nd rucks ruck more (ie Cameron had 13 hitouts for Collingwood), in addition to the fact that Gold Coast eventually worked out as the season progressed that Burgess was a better ruck than Graham, because Graham was getting beaten by the Sweet types. Burgess actually rucked more than Graham and was marginally more competitive than the Big O types toward the end of the season.
Looking at the Western Bulldogs Senior List (web site) a lot of the players have grown an inch or two
Cordy was 193 for years now 195 - must have the long stops on
19 Hitouts to advantage for the year. I have absolutely no figure for comparisonā¦but that sounds very bad!
Thanks very much
So Zordy for first ruck then Sweety 2nd
Interesting, Itās not bad reading for Sweet against Martin really, what does it look like for Martin if you take out round 12 when he was injured?
should maybe add Clearances and Tackles too as itās probably an important stat for rucks!
Cordy 1st ruck. Little short at 195 but that knee could do some damage and he has the campaigner in himā¦..
If you seen Naughton and Bruce together in that pre-game coverage after the north game I think Naughton was actually slightly taller than Bruce so he might of shot up recently.Here is our 2021 list as confirmed by Champion Data at the start of the year. Regardless of accuracy this is what will go into the record books.

We should get a new ruckman!I posted this a couple of weeks ago but I thought with all the recent discussion it would be worth posting again.
45 players contested 200+ ruck contests in 2021. 4 of them were Bulldogs and all 4 ranked in the bottom 12 and all are well below the competition average for Hitout Win Percentage which is 42%...

Sam Power said today talk will continue about more picks swaps.Callum Twomey reckons clubs are eyeing off our first pick for points in exchange. The benefit to us is that the points left over from Darcy will be a pick in the late 30s / early 40s instead of a pick at the end of the draft.
Say our pick 23 to Sydney in exchange for 31 and 39. Gives us an extra 237 points. Sydney move up to pick 23.

Could also be a deal for 23 with...Sam Power said today talk will continue about more picks swaps.
What's the evidence that it does lead to a problem? Do we lose clearances more than other teams? Are other teams somehow more efficient in scoring from clearance wins than the league average against us?That's truly embarrassing, but you know, we don't have a problem apparently
We have the best midfield in the league by an absolute mile, yet still have to bring an extra to stoppages, affecting other parts of our game, to get that advantage in clearances when we really shouldnāt need to with the guys we have in thereWhat's the evidence that it does lead to a problem?

What did you want ??? Dusty,buddy, and petracca . Never happy some people. Brings this board down1/10 this trade period. Absolutely terrible.
There were a few reliable posters who dropped hints before the gf.What happened to the rumour that two of our Grand Final best 22 would be leaving in the off season? As far as I can tell none of them left.

We did address it we re-signed two ruckman and will draft another
Seriously?
We had a threadbare ruck team in 2021, of whom we lost Lewy Young (is he really a ruck?) and signed nobody to replace him.
The only thing i can think of is that they have confidence in Sweet being the #1 ruck in 2022.
If Sweet gets injured then itās only Stef Martin in the shed as cover - highly doubtful he can string more than a few games together.
We easily could have hooked our 2022 second rounder as bait to land a serviceable ruck - but doesnāt appear that we even triedā¦
