No sorry, Im referring to the mythical game of ruckman jumping and tapping the ball to an uncontested midfielder every tap out, while the opposition just stand and watch in amazement as the ball just lands repeatedly on a chest, unopposed. Or on the times it doesn't and hits the ground it just automatically bounces directly into pridus's hands on the run without an opponent nearby. The game where one ruckman is an evangelical beast where every touch is to an uncontested advantage and the opposition will be so completely bedazzled by this they will have no response. Yet this team has dealt with and won games against such angels with wings rated higher, and performing higher, Some WC BF fans believe this halo that archangel Nic attires, will be the one and only undiminished facet of the game that will result in a demolition of an opposition. 25 hitouts per game, with an average of 40% to advantage, 11-12 hitouts to advantage a game is the deriding factor as to why WC sit second on the ladder. The same afl where Jacobs averages 30 hit outs a game, and similiary 40% to "advantage". Yet the dogs pretty much flogged this team, as their opinion of the ruck is mainly inconsequential. No one has stated Nic isn't a great ruckman, and on the weekend he will dominate easily. All I am saying is it is not the biggest and major factor of a football game, as the dogs, and other teams have proven over the year, by sending mid fielders in to ruck. SO get off your high horses and read what people actually say. No one has bagged nic on what he does. Have I watched the Eagles this year... some. Have you watched the dogs this year without a ruckman or 15-20 game ruckman. The centre clearances are sorted by the mid field, regardless how good the ruckman is. Thats the footy Ive been watching.
