Tom Derickx [merged]

[WA Tiger]

Think if he can have a decent pre-season he will perform well next year, there should be plenty of game time available should he do well, great support for Maric.

For his sake I pray

Will we play two ruckman though? We have Vickery who does a bit of rucking to support Graham. BrownE does the rucking by himself @ Coburg, so that leaves Maric and Derickx to ruck for Coburgs twos.

Sorry.

We are lucky that under the new "No Excuses" policy we have plenty of Ruckman to choose from! This should defiantly rule out the "debacle" that was our Ruck division of last season.

It would be nice if Derickx could play back? Is there any chance of this happening??

Gus couldnt even get a game when we were two ruckman down last year thats how bad he is, Gus might be used to fill in till Derickx is 100%, shouldnt see him much after that...

Gus was injured for a few weeks and he still played 15 games. When were we two ruckman down? Derickx was out for most of the year but who was the other?????????

dont see why not

could be handy to have another resting ruckman on the ground that can hold down a KP as well.

question is, is he good enough?

he was going through a rapid development phase when he copped his injuries, but now he basically has one year to show if he has the goods or not.

Thought he was dropped.....oh well will be next year, not much room for a ruckman that cant jump or look at the ball.

[Coach]

Lade told him not to look at the ball.

Graham was playing to Lades instructions so take your frustrations out on our ruck coach.

Don't have any frustrations...do you.....look Gus is too slow, can't jump, can't tap advantage, can't keep up with his opposition player, can't defend.....very good in the VFL, Coburg will do well with him.

[Coach]

Think you will find Gus is a required player. Signed an extension during the year to keep him at the club until 2013

Oh well, thought he was up for trade bait but we couldn't off load him, not worth much.
