OH, so the theory is we get an all round ruckman out of two players?

* Shaun’s had some injury hiccups and we possibly haven’t backed him enough in terms of selections.  But I’m sure we’ll be doing that in 2016. I think he showed signs midway through the year he can be that player. Statistically, in terms of getting first hand on the ball in the ruck contest, he’s as good as any other ruckman out there, even the elite ruckmen in the AFL. Yes, there’s work for him to do around the ground and some other aspects of his game but that’s an area Ivan’s outstanding at. So, if we can get those two to complement each other over the course of the year, a little bit better than perhaps we have over the last 12 months, then we’ve got ruckmen on our list.
:huh3 If only he could tap the ball to a teammate or to their advantage most of the time.

In any case, it's highly unlikely for a 27 year old to vastly improve and correct his poor kicking and marking skills.

Sheer incompetence if we go into next year with no additions to our ruck or KPD stocks....surely we'll at least rookie another ruck....

Dan Richardson, on the 'Talking Tigers' podcast, discussing our ruck stocks ...

VIDEO: http://afl.com.au/video?guid=799682


* We’re well aware there are times when a taller ruckman, who can get his hand up a bit higher and get the ball going our way, is an area, particularly against opposition taller ruckmen, that we need to look at. That’s the reason we brought Shaun Hampson in two years ago.

* Shaun’s had some injury hiccups and we possibly haven’t backed him enough in terms of selections.  But I’m sure we’ll be doing that in 2016. I think he showed signs midway through the year he can be that player. Statistically, in terms of getting first hand on the ball in the ruck contest, he’s as good as any other ruckman out there, even the elite ruckmen in the AFL. Yes, there’s work for him to do around the ground and some other aspects of his game but that’s an area Ivan’s outstanding at. So, if we can get those two to complement each other over the course of the year, a little bit better than perhaps we have over the last 12 months, then we’ve got ruckmen on our list.

* And then we’ve obviously got the likes of Ty and ‘Griff’, and even Liam McBean, who can pinch hit in the ruck too.

If you want some comedy and light hearted relief just read a rfc press release.If these blokes are serious about what they are saying then we will never win a premiership. Sad thing is by their actions they believe the bull shiiite they sprout.
Im surprised there are still bright eyed unthinking  little possums out there who lap it all up.

HTF did you manage to post that bents? if i  quote your post the inbuilt filter has kittens

It clearly has a dirty mind and doesnt like the first two names together.

How did you sweet talk it into letting you post them together?
