Rix was absolutely shocking tonight
Why did they play this dud?
McEvoy would have been so much better. At least he can kick and mark. I just don't get it. Absolutely got smashed out of the middle. Blake is 6 inches shorter than him yet he's a better ruckman.

Rix offered absolutely nothing in the ruck contests and even less around the ground. Surely we'd have been better off getting a senior game into McEvoy. Heck, we'd have been better off giving Jack Steven a chance in the ruck.

Lade & Brogan are the meanest ruck combo in the AFL. They would have killed McEvoy simply because he aint ready for afl....... YET !!Moccha wrote:Why did they play this dud?

Had we had King and Gardiner we wouldn't have been smashed in the middle.
And might probably have won the game.
But tonight proves that Rix will be delisted in October.
Or perhaps we can trade him to Carlton![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

I expected him to make every contest - he didn't make a number of them, Lade was uncontested. Easy takeaway. That's just plain s*** & lazy.thehandbrake wrote:Sav, I'm not saying Rix was in our best, but what did you expect from him tonight? He provided a contest, threw his body around a bit, and did some ok things around the ground.
What was it that made him so terrible?

No one said he was racking up the stats, but what exactly do you expect from him?
Rix is not in our best 22. King, Gardiner, Kosi and even Blake are all used in the ruck before him. He is never, ever going to set a game alight, but he can provide a contest, which is what he did.
Put it this way- Rix is not the reason we lost tonight. Vent your anger at a worthy target. You've got plenty to choose from with tonight's effort.

Like I said, I just expected him to make every contest myself, not sure if anyone was expecting him to rack up 30 possessions or somethingthehandbrake wrote:No one said he was racking up the stats, but what exactly do you expect from him?

I agree though, his inability to influence the match wasn't a factor. It was the inability of 6-10 of his team mates to influence the match that saw us lose.

He's just a dumb footballer. he let his man continually run free. He doesn't drop back into defence to help his defence, he doesn't run forward to help his forwards. I can't remember one hitout out of the centre to the midfielders advantage. That is where the game is set up.thehandbrake wrote:No one said he was racking up the stats, but what exactly do you expect from him?
