Golden Era of Ruckmen?

Featured Replies

 

DD, many aspects of Aussie Football go in cycles, particularly the size and value of All Players and this depends on many things, especially the Rules and the Administration. At the mo the little fast fellas are "king pin" but mark my words, this will change.

Sort of like tall forwards and "good umpires"

Good point and you may we’ll be right. No doubt about it Ruckmen/ Forwards and Ruckmen / midfielders had a good weekend. But I want to see it for more rounds in a season - before I’m going to declare a “golden” era. 

I remember when Dimma first mentioned playing Griggs in the ruck we thought he had lost his marbles - but Griggs is an AFL premiership ruckman

There's only 1 ruckman and that's GAWN BABY

Judd is on drugs saying Grundy is better than him and Kruezer is in the top 5.

Kruezer is top 5. He was the most dominant ruckman in the league last year. He has had a slow start to the year because he came into the season under and injury cloud - which is the only way Grundy gets the better of him. A fully fit Kruezer is an absolute beast. Not only is he top 5, but a lock for top 3.

I don't think Grundy compares to Gawn, but I could be wrong. Grundy did look good last week but I suspect that is only because Kruezer was underdone and slightly injured.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
