Depends on how many of the 31 other hit outs went to a Bulldog. I wish they included Hit Outs To Disadvantage to give a true indication of performance.

The performance of the Ruckman or of our mids ?

Ruckman. Mids can't control where the ruckman taps to. I'm just talking about hit to advantage or disadvantage not necessarily who ends up with it or clearing it.
 
Shaun Hampson. Tyrone Vickery. Ben Griffiths.

They're our three very talls. Hampson is the macho one. Jumps too.

Is he? That's a bit like saying Cindy Brady is macho one of her, Marcia and Jan.

He'll fly for anything, tim. He's nothing like Vickery or Griffens. They hide from rovers.

I was just yanking ya chain Jack.
 
Uncontracted fir next year. 1 year extension at best.

I wouldn't be surprised if we targeted another ruck in the off season.

I think he'll stay but we should definitely be targeting another ruckman regardless.
Vickery and Maric will be the ones moved on.
 
Wouldnt be giving away any picks inside 50 for one given what will be available.

We have enough to develop, and have greater needs across the list.
 
RFC just has to be targeting another ruckman for inclusion on the list next season.
The Tigers are desperate for a ruckman who can be a dominating player.

I could imagine Hamster coping a falcon like Marcia did.

whats the chance he knocks one towards our goal every now and again.
SPOT ON..Does my bloody head in, gives the opposition a run at it to often.

Only marking is improving.

Its like everything Hardwick does, of itself not wrong but when done 100% of the time is easy to counter.
 
Lost the clearances again. Noted Lethal say in the Weagles match that hitouts and clearances have little to do with each other.

No reason to play him if he cant even provide clearances.

Should be dropped this week, bring in another kid (say Lennon) and let Griff ruck.
 
Hampson serves it up on a platter. I blame our mids for not being proactive. Its probably Lades fault. Sack him.

Unfortunately a lot are served to the other side.

He must have the highest HOTD of any ruckman I've seen.
