Loving the big man's effort and form this year, but that list is a bit silly.

Would rather have any of Mumford, Jacobs, Lobbe, NicNat or Goldstein for pure rucking ability.

Would even be very interested in Martin and Blicavs for their around-ground ability.

[Willy]

Lobbe?

Maric bathed him on he weekend

[Andyy]

He didn't really give him a bath at all. Maric's effort was enormous because of the ruck load he had to take with Griff went down.

Lobbe ended up with 29 hit outs and 10 tackles. Hardly a poor effort.

[Willy]

Agree to disagree.

Wouldn't be holding up Lobbe as any sort of shining ruck example.

[Chuck17]

Stuff the stats Lobbe was poo

[Andyy]

Main point is that Maric is enjoying a purple patch. I like the bloke.

Just don't see him as one of the premier ruckman in the AFL.

Credit where credit is due, whoever decided to recruit Maric,  , BTW how is Soldo going?
