I like him but not sure he’s all that damaging with ball in hand

He is if he plays inside mid. Quite damaging.

Samson is a waste of time and effort, actually is probably one of the worst footballers (if you can call him that) I've ever seen try to play, Sampson makes that African American bloke that the saints tried to teach how to ruck look like Gawn in comparison.

Unless we target someone ready to bust out, we are in for a few years of pain in the ruck department.

It looks like we are going to persist with hinging our ruck hopes on Nankervis (1 mark) which I think is a terrible call and I will be proven correct again this year because I suspect he'll be even worse this year than he was last year. 

Making Balta a roaming ruckman with his agility, speed and marking ability would have been the smarter more obvious option for us whilst Nankervis transitions to life outside of playing footy and he could help the young rucks coming through instead, an opportunity lost IMO.

I'm really hoping  Gibcus can find his mojo again and relearn the basics of defensive positioning and tactics because he was absolutely lost.

I'm not fussed at all hopefully we lose all our practice matches and learn more about ourselves and lets just concentrate on humiliating, ruining and smashing the cheats round 1

That was a tough watch after quarter time. Only a practice match but geez we were a rabble. We looked cooked after the first 20-25 minutes. Lack of workrate, no system, continually isolated and outnumbered across the park, and we didn't protect the defensive side of contests and stoppages. We were slow in the midfield and were often caught ballwatching. Our "tackling" made a mockery of the articles saying we had been focusing on it at training this preseason. When we did get it forward, we often just bombed in hope. Pretty disappointing day even by practice match standards.

Grlj the main positive to get excited about. He'll become a weapon by foot once we become a good side.
Cumming took time to get into the game but stood out in the last after being moved into the centre.

Agreed. What exactly were we practicing? I don’t rate Yze at all as a coach and this is exactly why. Great at relationships and a good communicator but we have nothing to hide here so that is where we are at.
I guess we could be norf

Hopper Taranto and ross dominate attendances in 2nd Q and we get smashed… think we all knew this already though.

Noticed that too from the stats. Definitely no coincidence that we didn't control the ball with those 3 in the middle.
I think we will have a good year in terms of development and player progression. With that said, we seem to have neglected the ruck this far. I know it's a scratch match and you really can't take much into it, but nank was beaten by a nobody....hopefully not signs to come.
Anyways bring on 2026.
