This is what happens when we don't have any real 2nd ruck on our list, or at least we don't use them.

    Bit unfair to say we don't have a 2nd Ruck on our list. Fullarton, Verral and Farris-White are rucks. Arguably Fullarton and hmm.. Schache can play the role.
    In terms of using them, we tried two rucks last year if you remember.... didn't work out so well.  

    I think what you are trying to say is that losing a star player like Gawn leaves a hole that is bloody hard to fill, because Gawn is *THAT* good.

    What makes no sense is why, if Gawn is in doubt, did we take Fullerton off the emergency list and we don’t have Verrell listed either?

    maybe it's only just come on in the last hour or so? in any case it really does highlight our glaring lack of ruck depth. Jacob Van Rooyen rucking against Rowan Marshall for a full game is going to give the Saints a pretty big edge if Max doesn't get up.

    I can only assume the swap between Fullerton and Brown was due to Fullertons fitness.

    I mean we are having him play like 95% of games, not enough rest for a veteran body.

    Taj is incredibly stiff, it's pretty rough to give a bloke a full game who's shown next to nothing in the 2's over a kid who's been playing quite well in the 1's

    Correct.  Fullo shldve been trialled last week to see where he's at in a fitness / form / capability sense.

    Have they swapped Benny out today for a last mini inclusion?

    At least if Gawn goes down early we have Taj to cover him

    😂

    agree but i think we went with experience over a kid as we have a few young guys out there

    Taj progressing well

    Now I'm more worried about Max's calf. On one hand I didn't want him to miss today,  but gee if he does anymore damage to it it could be costly

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
