Sorry I’ve been living under a rock. Wasn’t gabby Seymour originally our go to Ruck?

No, was originally a KP defender but out of necessity in season 3 onwards she was first choice ruck when everyone realised her aerobic capacity

Some of last season and they're hoping this season she can go back in defence for the majority with the odd burst in the middle as mid fielder not ruck

Also allows us to see the quality ruck work of Poppy Kelly full time

Won the toss and we're kicking with the breeze in the first quarter.

[one-eyed]

You're running out the centre with the breeze and you don't kick the ball?

[one-eyed]

Brennan shanks the set shot from 35 out but there's a free to Greiser in the pocket. Goal! 

Rich  1.0-6
GWS 0.0-0

Footy's not hard Tiges when you finally kick long inside 50 with the breeze.

[one-eyed]

Good contest by Brennan gets the ball to ground. McClelland's ping from the boundary misses.
