Michael Gardiner was great
I thought his ruck work was exceptional and probably was responsible for the win. He played more time than planned I reckon but there was little choice in the end. Kosi's last quarter was good but he does not have the natural feel of a ruckman. Gardiner and King is what we need, but we seem cursed.

3 possessions is good?
Rix used to get more than that.

Well his stats should have had one extra kick and goal.....
Gardi looked ok...but also looked like he had not playeda match fora month.
He will be better for the run...and I hope we have King back with him for the ruck in the Pies game.

In the first half Gardiner competed well in the ruck but we got beaten in the clearances.
Most of the second half Kosi got smashed in the hitouts - we got beaten in the clearances.
Final quarter it looked like Kosi had just decided to concede the hitouts - at one stage Riewoldt jumped over him to try to get a fist on a ball-up - at another X tried the same thing
perhaps Kosi was figuring he could act as another midfielders and we might win win more ball from the middle. We still got beaten in the clearances.

Tiges won the HOs 43 to 30.matrixcutter wrote:how did he actually go?
i had the worst radio reception sitting in the car last night.
read this morning that symmonds had 32 hit outs
Simmonds was very good and Pattison only had short bursts in the ruck.
Gardi was ok to good in the ruck...but Kosi played a lot as the ruck...I suspect because Gardi had been out for a month.

Some of Gardiners center taps were excellent, but he burnt all his tickets in under two quarters of footy.
Kosi is still our third to fourth rated ruckman, and didnt do much on the night to affect the game.... Symmonds smashed us.
We probably have 6 more games to sort out our center setup.
But at this stage our ruck list seems to be in order King, Gardiner, Rix, Kosi, Blake. So McEvoy has a few to jump, so lets hope he has the goods to back up the talk.
