Forgot about him. Yeah, I'd add him. Been good this year.

SCOOP said:You can win a flag without a dominant ruck but it is very hard to win a flag if the other mob have a dominant ruck.
DirtyDogTiger said:WCE (first)
Carlton (5)
Sydney (6)
Essendon (7)
these are the four clubs this year to finish in the top 8 ranklings (in brackets) for hit outs, and finished in the top 8 on the ladder
so ruck dominance doesn't factor for the top 3 clubs (also the last three premiers) Geelong Collingwood and Hawthorn
Leysy Days said:On Jolly. He has unquestionably been a topline Ruck for a number of years. Until this year.
He has dropped off big time. Think his knee is shot. Currently gone from a top 5 ruck to possibly only Gus being a worse No 1.
Collingwood will really struggle to win the flag with Jolly in his current plight as their leading ruck. Great to see. ;D

Barnzy said:Don't think it will hurt them too much. Still favourites to win the flag for mine, with our without Jolly playing well. Geelong close 2nd.

See West Coast trading the same prem odds as before their defeat today. Got out with no loss.
A bet to nothing. Unfortunately didn't come off.

Yeah, but this year the GF is in October again.Tails said:I would predict the colliwobbles to hit, we are in September. They have only won when the GF is in October. Geelong will win comfortably

Streak said:And I am starting to think a Cats flag, which is the best outcome for me.
SCOOP said:Still think that with all of the talk of Zac Clarke we would be mad not to talk to Essendon about Tom Bellchambers. With Hillie & Ryder locked in, I think he may be ripe for the picking, new contract or not.
No doubt in my mind that you don't go deep in the 8 without a big strong ruckman. You even need a more then capable back up.
