What's our best ruck combo?

Chol is not the answer for me.

Who else we got?

We have a kid known as CCJ

He stuffed up in a massive way so here we are

Few options sadly

[Chuck17]

Nank and Dusty

Put Broad in there his did it before and training that role with Miller atleast gives as a contest.

You know we just need a chop out in the ruck. And Ben Miller may be able to do it. Ben Miller has been named emergency lately. At 195cm he is undersized but if he can compete for 5 to 7 minutes a quarter then who knows. Could be a rough chance to debut in finals. Chol can do it too. In the end we just need someone who will stand up and play a role.

Yep 100% just give us a contest.

If Shaun Grigg at 1.9 m Was a semi option what about Broad at 1.92, he has a fair jump?

Remember the game against Freo last year over in Perth wen Nank went down

Broad did the role exceptionally well

Worth trying again

Spot on and is training there to.

It depends on a few factors. Like, will Lynch take the ruck responsibilities deep forward? he has played this role at times this year. This allows Nank the ability to have a very shot rest and set up for the outlet kick.
If Caddy keeps his position, will he provide ruck support at times? Broad has done this in the past, who goes out and what position does he play when not assisting with ruck duties?
Many questions but i get the feeling we will go with Nank (he will thrive) and have Lynch or Jack assist deep forward and use a smaller type at times around the ball.

Broad would allow the flexibility of a plan B if it wasn't working. You don't want to shift Balta from FB but if need be Broad could go back with Astbury & Grimes as 'tall' defenders and Balta could be thrown into the ruck to give Nank the chop out.

Nankervis can do 75%. Astbury frees balta for the midfield and back ruck contests. Forward of that it's a team effort from 3-4 including jack and tom.  We shouldn't play someone just to do 25% of the rucking. So, in - Dion, T Lynch and Bolton. Out Chol (no grunt), Caddy and one of Castagna (how does he get a game), or one other and whoever is stiff - Rioli, McI, Ross, Aarts

Interesting Jammo, I would personally prefer to leave Balta where he is, bring in Lynch, Bolton and maybe Broad.
Would sacrifice Caddy for Prestia but that would create an imbalance IMHO.

Gee Edwards played well last week!!

[mightytiges]

Last night showed up Soldo's absence as a massive loss (never thought I'd say that). Chol will be dropped while Nank can't ruck alone when the opposition plays two rucks (beaten by McInerney & Martin over 4 quarters). Thanks CCJ, I hope that kebab was worth it .

If it's the Dogs next week we may get away with only Nank against Tim English but no way will it work against the Saints' Marshall & Ryder or the following week against Port's Lycett & Ladhams. We desperately need a plan B? Do we experiment with Caddy or Broad or shift Balta upfield? No guarantee either will work anyway .
