I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.

Never going to be a rockstar but gotta give the bloke credit where it's due, he's lifted his game considerably.

Lifted from an incredibly low base. Is still a second rate ruckman but what else have we got?

Correct

 

[Ghost of 29]

Correct

Wrong, he is an exceptional ruckman. He just can't do much else outside of rucking.

 

[tigertim]

Let's just see how he goes in the fullness of time.

 

[Djevv]

This is like a game at Adelaide when the opposition kick a goal - deathly silent but with the odd bit of faint praise here and there. You know it won't be long before the knives come out again >.

x2. We shall see.

 

[nqtiger]

He would be just about be ready to go for another operation , has he played six games on the trot?

Yeah this is all true, but I actually think he can still improve his NRO (non-ruck output) quite a lot

 

[Matiger]

He's like watching Snakes on a Plane. You're prepared for something unwatchable, and appreciate anything that's not.

Yes. I was going to say Sharknado, but your point is valid

I thought his NRO was solid last Saturday in horrible conditions. Such a big body, he tends to find a path through. Hopefully, he gets the confidence to believe he is good enough for this level.

 

[tigerlove]

Played a blinder in the first quarter, 5 disposals, a contested mark, something like 5 contested possessions, wasn't sure I was watching the same player. Only 3 disposals for the rest of the game but it certainly wasn't great conditions for a tall. Overall I thought he served us pretty well, just wish he could do it consistently.

 

[Sintiger]

He is doing ok,or even a little better, but far better than I thought he was capable of.

That being said a trade for a ruckman is high priority this off season

There's none available
Priority Hurley and Neale.
Hurley 900k 6 years (for free)
Neale 550k 5 years (our first pick and Conca)

That's a good post, Zips. I agree with you. A lot for Hurley, in the context of what some of our existing A-graders (like even Rance) are on, but it will take something near that to tear him away from the Dopers. Neale or maybe Prestia would complete our midfield and I hope that we are then well within sight of top 4 at least.

Noted that someone on one footy show Monday night claimed mail that Prestia almost definitely won't be at GC next year, so whose into him? (Haven't had a chance to look at Rumours)
