OK, we've found a ruckman
Looks like one and plays like one. Might run out of puff tonight but he has the goods.

Billy runs like a brontosaurus with a touch of gout, Tom liiks and moves like a giraffe with fluid on the knee.
Marshall moves like a footballer.

Re: OK, we've found a ruckman
Hes getting beaten at the ball ups but he is working harder and winning or earning his own ball.
Hes going well.
Hes going well.

Sauce is close to the best ruck in the AFL...stonecold wrote:Sauce BOG In second half, Marshall will be good, but he's along off being #1!!!!!skeptic wrote:You’re kidding right?stonecold wrote:Good second ruck, as you can see he is already running out of juice!!!!!

Any of our rucks would have been carved up by him, Rowan has put by far the best performance of a ruck at our club in 6 months (in game months)

Rowan started well but has run out of petrol (understandable), not ready to carry 1st Ruck yet, im not knocking him, just saying how it is!!!!!

Re: OK, we've found a ruckman
At the game...watching Gawn not being smashed by Longer. Had he concentrated on the ball instead of leaping directly into Longer he'd have probably done much better. At least he hit the scoreboard.stonecold wrote:Yeap, not sure where you were!!!!!degruch wrote:Longer smashed Gawn last year???

Re: OK, we've found a ruckman
Well many would argue that despite that one good game, Longer hasn’t exactly been carrying the ruck well either.stonecold wrote:Better than Longer smashing Gawn last year?????skeptic wrote:Sauce is close to the best ruck in the AFL...stonecold wrote:Sauce BOG In second half, Marshall will be good, but he's along off being #1!!!!!skeptic wrote:You’re kidding right?stonecold wrote:Good second ruck, as you can see he is already running out of juice!!!!!

But anyway, many will agree that that was a super impressive game by Marshall who certainly earned himself another few games at least

What ever, at this point, Rowan is a good #2!!!!!degruch wrote:At the game...watching Gawn not being smashed by Longer.

Keep playing him #1, he will be cooked in 3rnds, blind Freddy could see Rowan run out of steam after a bright start!!!!!
As I keep saying, it's not a knock on him, just how it is!!!!!

Re: OK, we've found a ruckman
He did run out of puff but at least he's something we can be optimistic about. Even if we have to drop a tall forward to play him as second ruck all year we should do it.

Re: OK, we've found a ruckman
Yeah, remember that one time Longer broke even with the opposing ruckman?!?degruch wrote:Longer smashed Gawn last year???
Marshall should be picked every week unless he totally falls over, ruckwork and tank will only improve by playing, in every other aspect he is already miles ahead of Longer
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Re: OK, we've found a ruckman
Geez, who would be sad about dropping one of our tall forwards? Might be worth a punt, looks like we're starting off a development year after all...changing a few things up might just save Richo's skin. Carrying Hickey or Longer would be the issue though.shrodes wrote:He did run out of puff but at least he's something we can be optimistic about.
