The forum is attacking poor Gus like "rutting chimps".

I don't like Graham but from what I've seen Browne is miles behind him. I suppose it won't hurt to try him out but I doubt he has the ability to run out even 2 quarters in the big league from what I've seen. He looks too slow, too tired and too awkward to be an AFL player IMO.

And what was Graham doing when he was the same age as Browne?  Graham is stuffing poo. At least Browne is young

like I said I don't like graham either. I don't think any of them are any good. Hopefuly derrickx is the answer but I don't know.

tap work: browne is better. Doesn't Jump way early unlike others. Makes a contest. Taller

around the ground: browne moves better. Graham 2nd efforts not as good as younger browne.


Marking: browne happy take marks deep forward/back/middle.

Well that sounds like Browne is the better man then. The question is , why has he not been selected if this is all true?

Our ruck stocks are thin to say the least.

Last year blair hartley zeroed in on 3 mids who were undervalued at their clubs and we secured 2 of the 3, namely grigg and houli and missed out on sherman.

This year it is blatantly, and unfortunately for tigers supporters, painfully obvious that RFC go into games without a dominant ruckman and at times a non-competitive ruckman.  Gus' continued looking at the man (he does this regularly and not just last weekend) and not the ball means he is reacting to his opponent instead of being proactive and focusing on the ball and where he taps it.

Please Mr Hartley find an unloved ruckman at another club that will come to us eg Blake from geelong...anyone ...even putting Kingy in the ruck would be better - he would lose but at least you would have a contest (joke before people respond).

Or alternately instruct Gus not to look at his opponent and merely look at the ball.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr@gus

Blake 

[WA Tiger]

What about giving Post or Gourdis a go, having not seen them I am only throwing it out there but don't they have a prettty good leap?? Tuck did it for a season so it wouldn't hurt to try.

Blake is not the answer IMO, not even short term, trade for one, pick one up as our first rounder but don't get Blake.

Blake 

GG if Blake makes you sick what does Gus do to you then?

[Stripes]

Gus is OUR best ruckman by a long stretch. Browne is not the answer at the moment. His tapwork is reasonable but it stops there. His movement around the ground is ordinary and his endurance makes Gus looks like he is from Kenya. He may yet come on but currently he is far from our No. 1 ruck option.

I hope that Derickx comes on. He looks to be the most mobile and skillful of our ruckmen along with Vickery at the moment. I can see Derickx and Vickery becoming our ruck combination in the near future but only if Derickx can improve his tap work and remain injury free.

But Browne....I just can't see it happening
