Killed it in the first; not as dominate in the 2nd. Anyway it's good to see a 2nd Tiger ruckman who can actually ruck and win tap outs to our advantage. Thanks Adelaide for taking Gus off our hands lol.

Played better than Maric, tap ruck work was definitely better

Really nice first game. Would have no hesitation keeping him in the side based on that performance.

How good was this fella?  Vickers extended rest and some time in the twos to get his poo together?

Wow, a revelation.  Who'd have thunk it - playing 2 rucks in the modern game.  Oh, that's right, last years premiers among others.  But then, what would they know.  And a big well done to the big O - did 2 things today - pointed out how little Vickery brings to the ruck contest and how poor Gus was as our 2IC.

Just quietly he showed Maric up for tap work as well

Maric must be injured IMHO. Seems to be going at about 60% atm.

Maybe the honeymoon is over and we are starting to see why Adelaide let him go?

Was obviously still suffering from the ankle injury.  Gutsy effort to play and hold up our structures I thought - didn't win but held his own which was important.

I thought Ivan started to play with the intensity he had been lacking. perhaps it was due to knowing he had another true ruckman in the side to shoulder the workload ?

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
