I see Reeves had a shoulder (?) injury late is it serious?
Only two games in to his career, so it’s early, but check out Ned’s averages compared to Gawn at the same age(who had played 9 games).Been a bright spot in a pretty gloomy half to the season. Will be better in 2022 when he adds some bulk to his frame and can hold his ground against the bigger rucks. I doubt if he will ever reach the Gawn/Grundy/Goldstein level, but in my mind, he has already overtaken Ceglar and that's only a good thing.
Love the way Ned is building. He got at least 3-4 taps nearly straight to our men in the centre on the weekend, only for them to fumble the ball - I think our mids will need to be reconditioned to expect first access!Only two games in to his career, so it’s early, but check out Ned’s averages compared to Gawn at the same age(who had played 9 games).
Ned is going to be a player if he gets a good run at it.

Rounding. 39/9 = 4.3333Love the way Ned is building. He got at least 3-4 taps nearly straight to our men in the centre on the weekend, only for them to fumble the ball - I think our mids will need to be reconditioned to expect first access!
On another note, the averages for Gawn are a bit funky. If he had played 9 games and averaged 4.3 kinds a game that's a total of 38.7 kicks. Likewise, .4 goals a game is 3.6 goals. Something has gone astray there.

A lot of hard yards and effort and having a great coach like monk really helped. Still a lomg way to go.His development has been nothing short of incredible over the last two years. He may prove to be the biggest plus to come out of this terrible season.
Monkey must be pinching himself having a quality young ruck oozing potential to work with; poor bugger has been trying to fashion s**t like clay for a long time.A lot of hard yards and effort and having a great coach like monk really helped. Still a lomg way to go.
Too old, other wise you would've got one last week I'd say.Hopefully he get a Rising Star Nomination soon.
Well hale and mcevoy have been greatMonkey must be pinching himself having a quality young ruck oozing potential to work with; poor bugger has been trying to fashion sh*t like clay for a long time.
Well hale and mcevoy have been great
This is very true, but they are/were not great rucks they rely on halving the contest and blocking run/jump etc. rather than just competing and winning the tap (and having the leap/touch/vision to direct it).Well hale and mcevoy have been great
neither as pure ruckmen though, their value is around the ground more so I'd say
Yeah but look at our history of home grown forwards. You could make up an amazing all time great forward line just out of hawthorn players.Our stocks of great home-grown rucks over the years have been about as bountiful as that of great father-sons. Look back over the decades (maybe since Scotty, although even he himself was an incredible warrior but not exactly gracing the pantheon of all time great rucks with Madden, Cox, Big Nick, Moore Fitzpatrick, Farmer etc etc), even during glory periods, our rucks have been recruits from other clubs or good solid tryers - Paton, Dear, Byrne, Salmon, Big Boy, Hale. Maxy Bailey could have been great, but was cut down too early. Our luck has been poor. Maybe we can turn both situations around with Finn and the big Noodle....
That's exactly what I'm saying, we can 'home-grow' everything else, except great rucks....Yeah but look at our history of home grown forwards. You could make up an amazing all time great forward line just out of hawthorn players.
