Plugger, is Stanley physically ready to go up against the big ruckmen? Also, what is King's fitness status?

It would be good if stanley played that would gives us the option of a key forward and ruck with him and kosi.

I think AGrdi more precaution. got tested at both quesrter time and haflf time. Played on and came off in 3rd - looks like just tightness as he wouldn't have come on after half time if any more. Do not write off for next week as may just be tightness. Any doubt with Freo losnig he will be rested and Pattison will come in or Stanley and Kosi to ruck ( which may yet happen for finals)

Kosi did not look good in the ruck. I don't know what is wrong with him but really out of form as we all know.

Really improving his ruckwork the last three weeks.
Was only averaging 7-8 hitouts per game most of the year.
Had 19 hitouts against the Hawks (Wayde Skipper), 12 against the Bombers (David Hille) and 18 against the Power (Dean Brogan).
Starting to make a contribution with his ruckwork as he gets stronger and more confident.

King any chance?FQF wrote:I would say that it would be a straight swap Pattison for Gardiner until Gardi's ready to come back.
Stanley is too lean to be a ruckman, and Kosi is better than him in the forward line.
STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY.

McEvoy was really good today, I've been unsure about him for a while thinking that not much separated he and King... today he really showed something around the ground and in front of goal. Superb game, and hopefully it's onwards and upwards from here.
