O Mc like many rucks doesn’t jump in the ruck contest JVR jumps and that means his height disadvantage is lessened he uses his body well but I’d rather have a 2m sized fwd ruck than him at what 1.95?

I’ve said for sometime the ruck “dream team “ isn’t working it’s not just Grundy either I think they are both getting on a bit and Grundy is a weak field mark and offers SWA in front of goal i like the dropping of Grundy but would prefer Smith not as sub as he can offer Max a chop out and has merits as a fwd

Marshall can jump to mark grundy has concrete hands gawny can’t jump - doesn’t need to sometimes but he did once hes been great over the journey but old age…

CP was drafted as a fwd who could play mid

Except that gawns ruck craft has become one dimensional at stoppages its push the opponent under the ball grab it and hack it fwd he can’t or won’t jump in the contest and we don’t see any palming to advantage or punches fwd I think his main game is marking in field play

A mist unimpressive win

He leads and converts i don’t care he doesn’t tackle!

What a [censored] fwd line that we try to hit up spargo as the leading pack mark

Poor choice to kick it to Grundy? i know what you mean

Marshall is beating our rucks

Say what you will about Melksham but he leads as does brown

It takes a while for a fwd to both time their lead and develop the confidence of the kicker that the kick isn’t wasted on them kickers IMO tend to kick to what they perceive as a secure receiver and maybe smith as the new boy on the block doesn’t demand the ball enough

This we just dump it in because no one is leading defenders just push fwds under the ball (our fwds not being big) and take another interception entries like that to the fwd line are gift wrapped for a rebounding backline

Rohan should get 4 weeks

I can go a vodka martini but won’t go the gin version

Love that guy

Dermie pontificates but without any real appreciation of modern football KPIs he lives off his past to justify his understanding of the present

I don’t get the idea that x plays on y in a zone defence system is it hybridised in some way?

I agree cameron is an aerobic fwd who works up the ground that doesn’t suit may didnt Bergman play on cameron? Bergman has a tank tomlinson has the tank

Persevere with Smith athletic Closing speed tackling

From now on you want to be called Loretta right?

Go dogs!

Generals fight the last war

Mihocek is an aerobic beast fwd he works his [censored] off and Tomlinson can go with him better than May

Kozzie needs to cut out the late tackles that mean a downfield free kick do more percentage plays and rove packs not seek mark of the year team first not highlights reel stuff more spargoesque
