I thought Gus was well below par. Still easily the best ruck on the ground though. Their ruckman and Derrickx did SFA. Gus will play if Maric doesn't come up. Just gotta hope Maric is right.
Hang on, there Ruckman (Smith) kicked Gus's behind!! At one point Gus just gave up and tried to rove Smith's tap himself Gus has to go this week regardless........
Let's get real here for a minute. I said it myself in the game thread, Gus is quite a poo player. But Smith had 7 touches and took one mark. He was beaten by Gus around the ground (and in a lot of ruck contests) which means either Gus was the best ruck out there or somehow Smith played a better game despite getting less ball, hitouts, marks, goals, tackles etc. Not saying Gus was good but he was better than any ruckman on the ground. That wasn't exactly hard but he was
Hopefully he plays for Coburg this week because that would mean I.Maric is back
If Maric isn't back then Goose will get another crack.
