angus graham playing like a cardboard cutout

tend to agree LB&C but I think it's probably more of a 'he's buggered' thing.

Given that the bombers have 3 ruckmen playing it would've made sense to also bring in PoMo. Bombers will be rotating all three through the forward line. I reckon that's what we should be doing too. Especially seeing that Hurley is out.

bit of common sense evo because i see essendon as one of the few team who can match us outside. we need to win the stoppages and im struggling to see how we can unless tuck cotch foley jacko and martin all have blinders

Don't want to be harsh on Gus, since he has shouldered an enormous workload, but I'm not disappointed that he has been given a rest. Hopefully Browne provides at least as much.

The way young Browne played gus might be resting permanantly....amen

Im surprised with all the love Browne is getting over Gus.

Yes it was a servieable 1st up performance from Browne, but to say he is miles ahead is a big stretch. He was great contesting in the centre square but around the grouds I thought he was a little bit of a liability. Doesnt seem to want to kick the ball, and is pretty much useless below his knees.
 
The great positive coming out of this season for the Tiges is that we have 3 ruckmen - Graham 24, Vickery 20 & Browne 20, who not only can hold their own against opposition rucks but have plenty of time on their side to improve.

Who needs to recruit a ruckman from another club?

This is all about developing our own. This was the most important transformation that I wanted to see years ago.

Full credit to Lade for what he has achieved in a relatively short space of time.
 
Good first up game last night from Browne but don't really understand the hate against Graham. Browne did no more than Graham has been doing all year. Yes a good first up game and should probably get a few more on the trot but those who are consigning Graham to the bin really aren't looking at it impartially

I say right now. We must get Mark Blake. Will be cheap and is exactly what our midfield is screaming for.
 
Freo's Zac Clarke had a BOG effort with 26 possessions, 2 goals and 9 marks playing in the WAFL on the weekend.

He's the one I would be targetting. If he is out of contract would be a great cheap option to get in the PSD.

I would trade Graham and obtain Clarke.

Browne, Derrickx, Clarke and Vickery is a good crop of Ruckman.
