36 Goals in our last 2 games and both away from the G? Without Lynch, Astbury, Nank and Lambo, something's clicked.

Locking games down wasn't working for us, the rules conspire against it. As long as we're hurting them the other way.
Yes this impresses me. Also his ability to get the ball to ground in a contest really creates opportunities eg 1 of Bolton's goals. I really like what I'm seeing.
he can only get better in that regard to I’d imagine tl, dare I say if he ads a few kebabs to the diet that 21 year old frame is going to end up been a man mountain
Apart from his aerial game he did well at ground level. For a big bloke he is no slouch below his knees.
I can't remember what he kicked in his first game but he seemed to save his best for the big games!
This may sound crazy, but hear me out. All four may be included for certain games, particularly if Astbury doesn't regain his spot (for whatever reason).
What if one of Jack, Lynch, Nank, CJ and Chol is always on the bench?
What if Jack spends most of his time playing higher, well clear of the two tall forwards? That allows Jack to be a great link man, and to give us greater aerial presence between the arcs.
What if, in general, the ruck that takes the centre bounce then drops back to fill the hole in defence, or at least stays a kick behind play? That would help counter the fact that we seem a tad short down back at present without Astbury.
Discuss.
yeah it was his 4th and 5th games he kicked some bags frick.

He burst onto the scene as a hulking full-forward.

THey were great games, the Carlton game (we lost) and the Bombers game. For the Carlton game i was up on the top deck of the old stand that came arouind and met the left side of the Southern Stand., and for some reason everyone was tripping on the step next to me. The crowd grew so large that they opened the gates to the steps up from the old stand intothe southern stand. People were left standing watchnig the game on the steps, with the line coming right along the front of the top deck of where i was sitting, so we basically had to wath the game standing up.yeah it was his 4th and 5th games he kicked some bags frick.

We put on a hell of a fight with a depleted team. Scotty Turner got 4 weeks for breaking Brett Ratten's nose in an incident where Turner was running with the flight of the ball only to see it pitch in front of him and bounce back over his head. He pulled up to change direction and his hands went up as a balancing mechanism, and Ratten also watching the ball ran into his hand.
The Tribunal said that although it was an accident he had to learn to keep his arms down, which is patently stupid, as the bdoy's number one survvival mechanism is balance, hence the pull of muscles to correct balalnce wreckin gthings like golf swings or kicking actions or whatever.
We went into the Bombers game without Turner and made a great fightback from a poor start. James the injector Hird starring at wone end, and Benny the astute Gale starring at the other. Injuries to Maxfield and Michael Gale on the night. Maxfield a broken jaw, can't remember Gale's injury!
As Smoking Aces posted earlier, using Picket as a second ruck is not the answer as it takes him away from where he does the most good. At times we need a genuine second ruck who can also be the spare tall in defence and a third tall in offense so there has to be a place for one of Chol or CCJ so I agree with your thoughts. Going to be even more interesting when Soldo comes back from injury
100% agree with this.
Definitely need two tall forwards and JR roaming half forward.
Definitely need two proper rucks.
Either
A use the second ruck from the forward line, but fatigue will be an issue.
B use them from the bench, but one less mid rotation.
Nank drops back to help anyway, but yes, we need more height down back.
The other option is to play Astbury but then can't carry that many talls and he can't ruck.
Otherwise a back comes out...Broad or Houli....neither thanks.
So, no Astbury except maybe against Eagles, rucks drop back and we play two rucks and three tall forwards.
For those on here long enough to remember, it was always poster CptJonno2madcow2005 who always said Jack was a half forward flanker. 
What ever happened to the skipper?For those on here long enough to remember, it was always poster CptJonno2madcow2005 who always said Jack was a half forward flanker.
He dropped right out of the game but it was noteworthy who scored the goals after half time.
3 Bolton
2 Castagna, Martin
1 Rioli, Graham, McIntosh, Balta (on the run)
Not sure whether this was by design.
