Glad we got Choi and Moore can play ruck too apparently...but our ready to go ruck stocks are still woeful....

Building a team for a flag without ruck depth.

It's kind of like putting a band aid over a malignant Tumor
Caracella and Balmey.

yeah, a little bit.....
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Cats, Eagles, Hawks, Port, Lions.....

In the last 10 years I'd say Geelong and Sydney

Who was Hawks really good ruckman? Last team I remember was Cats when they had Ottens. Don't think Ports or Lions rucks were that good either

Exactly, not many. Not that we shouldn't try and find a good ruck but I wouldn't call it the be all end all
