Ruckmen at Tigerland

[dwaino]

Would love Rance to offer Zac Clarke some of those scooter rides.

Thought Derrickx showed a bit on the weekend.  Seemed to work into the game well,  Took a good grab late on.

Wasn't at all impressive IMHO.
As much as I love Vlastuin, I was oh so keen on Brodie Grundy for exactly this reason!

Surely we have to be better off now than the days where we used to throw Tucky into the ruck. Stephenson and Derrickx may not be the long term answer but they will fill a hole until the likes of Elton and McBean develop. Thinking out of the box, how about Griff as a possible Paddy Ryder mobile type of Ruckman? He's 4cm taller than Paddy and 12kg's heavier so he has the build for it as long as he is over his shoulder troubles.

i cant recall anyone saying our ruck stocks were covered.

Go dig up the thread I started regarding ruckmen, enjoy the read.. ..I can't find it.

I know a lot of us had concerns in the ruck area, but don't recall anyone saying it was covered either.

For someone to think we had the area covered with Angus and Browne there . . . they would have to hold either of those 2 in high regard, which would narrow down the search.

Derricx was embarrassing on the weekend, Currie flogged him. He jumped too early, didn't jump at all or put his arms up to protect himself.

How in gods name we kept him and let Post go is beyond me

We let post go because he was not up to AFL standard. This decision was also validated by the lack of interest shown in him by other clubs. Post also had a much longer time and many more opportunities to prove himself than Derrickx has. Lets just see how he goes this year and if he fails to lift, then its park footy for him also.

WAT that whole page read like a Coach Davey fishing expedition that would make Rex Hunt proud. He only used to confess his love of the Beefcake just to get people revved up.

Even to his last post on page 20 , but one poster on page 20 said we have a "plethora" of ruckmen/forwards...

NO, or I would have said that....

is this the one you are talking about?

the only thing I think we really lack is a developing pure  ruckman, we have a plethora of developing mobil ruckman that can play forward and back but nothing in the mold of a good big bodied pure ruckman. Maybe there will be no place in the game for this style of player in 5 years time who knows....
