I think King does better than Mac in the ruck, but then it pretty much stops. We don't really see him again till the next throw in or ball up. Mac is much more mobile and is starting to get his marking confidence up. He is a legitimate option to rotate through the forward line. Especially with Kosi being out of sorts.

kingy seemed to do a lot of 'left handed ' ruck work was an impression i was left with

any one who is a keen ruckwork observer (not me , really) notice that ?.....he certainly rucked right handed as well, i noticed that , but i'm not sure about his previous weekly left handed involvement

Have a look at hitout stats for any game McEvoy's played. He's clearly not there yet.

But damn, what a handy player... you'd have to be tempted to play him as a key forward.
