Worst case scenario we have our 2 rucks basically competing against each other, Ty to come back in next week. Good position to be in
Why does it affect rotations?
No club does it?
Effects our rotations by what 1-2 a quarter for 3/4 then sub the one not doing as well.
Mid rotations- rest one at F/F .
Doesn't impact that much if either go at it for 10-12 mins then rests and the other one comes on!
Better than having either one forward. The ball gets run out too easy otherwise. Let's be different to the norm.
Run their rucks into the ground by bashing them for 10-12 mins then another ruck comes on and does the same. Doesn't effect rotations that much is my reasoning.
But I'm only an Internet Guru who hasn't played at the highest level or in the modern era and doesn't watch/ go to AFL/Tiger games!

Ross is a poor match day coach. Got soundly showed up by the worst coach in the comp last time we played. Their supporters must be furious that all the other clubs have gone past them!
whether he should be on the list is a different issue I agree. I suspect he won't be in 2016.Leysy Days said:
i probably would've delisted Thomas last year, but not fussed. i would think tho he would be most use if we were ever missing say Cotchin and Miles at the same time. not just as an extra inside mid on a wet day.

He can be OK on a wet day but why would you ever replace quality like Cotchin and Miles with a 4th rater like Thomas. You'd try every other option first Lids, Martin, Grigg, Foley, Lambert, Shed, Conca even Madonna and your wingers before the horror of Thomas would be unleashed.
It's an interesting strategy. Been lots of commentary in media, on here, etc on Sandilands dominance last time we played but not much on the fact we actually dominated Freo regardless of this. Flogged in the clearances but they could not handle our tall forward creativity up front. It's probably the game in which our 3 tall forward structure has worked the best. Griffiths and Vickery in particular dominated early which set up the win. I would've played McBean next to Griffiths and Riewoldt with Griffiths helping Hampson in the ruck to try and replicate that winning formula.

Are we talking about tomorrow's game? Forecast is chance of showers, I don't call that wet. Blustery strong winds might be more of a factor.
