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?

Gawn is fine he was testing the strapping on his leg if it was too tight or not. all good here

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.


Pity, deserved a Full game!

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

totally agree, Hunter has been average at Casey

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

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
