So, from what I can gather during the match thread, it sounds like this fella was a big positive for us last night?

Long 2.0 or is there a better comparison that could be made?
I would not describe him as Long 2.0.

Has pace, and did a lot of harassing and pressure acts. Not afraid to tackle despite his size.

Far less impressive with ball in hand or getting the ball in congestion like Long.

I am less sanguine about him than some others. Last night was a big step up for him and also Livingstone in particular.
I thought Livingstone was thrown to the wolves going from colts football to facing Darcy and Jackson but he battled manfully although he was completely out of his weight division.

I am reserving judgement on both.

Livingstone did fine but the worry is that he's a real tweener. He doesnt look like a genuine ruck or a forward tbh and isnt that althletic. I cant think of a player in the league like him, footy seems to have moved past these sorts. He would have been perfect in that 92/94 era.

He is not big enough to be a full time ruck although he seems to have the frame to put on more weight and become stronger.

Becoming a forward who chops out in the ruck would be his best chance although most forwards in the league seem to be more classy.
Oscar definitely needs a bigger guy to take some of the heat but there seem to be better options such as B Williams (when the main ruck is fit) or A Reid who is big and looks skilled or even J Williams has a chance.
 
Not a knock on him but he sounds like Zac Langdon.

Not as classy or impactful as Long. Cripps lite isnt a bad comparision. He's really just looks like a pressure workhorse.

Not a bad thing, right place right time and you can convert that into being part of a premiership team like Steven Armstrong did

By that comparison you haven’t thought hard. The guy who led our ruck last year and played first ruck last night is exactly that.
