Spot on, drag it. GT was often labelled as a ruckman hater. He wasn't. He just thought the ruckman should be able to contribute other than at the stoppages. Have to say I agree with him. Cox, Simon Madden, Everitt, McKernan et al. all contributed like midfielders. The modern prototype is Boyd, Mumford, McEvoy, Hale, Ball and Ottens. Longer and Jase are their as back up. Hickey, Pierce and Marshall are the future. We're well placed.dragit wrote:The traditional ruckman is a big tall slow guy that is basically useless outside of stoppages... I'm glad the game is moving past this type of player towards 20 disposal rucks that can mark and also impact games during play.
This is what makes hickey so much more valuable than longer.
