drop off is huge tbh

but hes still by far our best ruckman

ladhams goes no where near the senior side, cant believe we gave him 3years

Been a great pickup and was a huge reason for 13-1. Clearly needs a rest though, just don't play him next week and get his body right for finals. We don't always manage our list the best, and Horse said they won't be resting fit players...fair enough as I guess we're chasing form, but surely this one is obvious? We need him firing.

Can’t believe th drop off

He is borderline afl standard atm

Rubbish. His tapwork is still elite. His ground level stuff and physicality has obviously dropped off which indicates a tired body, and that was badly exposed a couple of times against a highly physical ruck in Draper, but his skill and effort is still there.

 

[Kbroome]

Do people realise that in the second half he actually had sub 50% TOG as such he only had 3 handballs and 6 HOs in the second half. Personally don't think 6 touches 2 tackles and 13 HOs in a half of footy isn't that rubbish. When you extrapolate that out its 12 touches 4 tackles and 26 HOs of which half of the HOs were to advantage.

There's fit, and there's fit. Can't see why we won't rest anyone that needs a rest. And the other players will still get a week off too.
