Georgie is the daughter of Danny Jaques, 1998 SANFL Premiership ruckman

177cm ruck?
Anyway, great to see a F/D pick come through

That’s 5,10”, which is quite tall for women

The tallest AFLW player is Erin Hoare, she’s 194cm/6,4”, she was the #1 pick for Geelong on Tuesday night, she the same height as Aliir, Bont and Tex Walker

Levicki is 188cm and Scholz 187cm so they would seem to be more the ruck height. Naomi Maidment said she saw her as a defender at AFL level

Jaques almost definitely won't play ruck at AFLW level. The cutoff is essentially 180cm, if you're anything less you're unlikely to play ruck. The standard ruck size in AFLW is a flat 6 feet tall (183cm).

Same deal with Zoe Prowse for the Crows a couple of years ago, she's also 177cm. She was a dominant ruck at SANFLW level, but at AFLW level she's too short to do anything more than pinch hit in the ruck. She has moved to defence instead.

Dunno why this thread hit my alerts, but I'll give a like to OP while I'm here.

There’s a typo in the thread title Marmozet, just so you know.

Year 4 - the rebuild.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We've lost a bit of height this post-season.

Good to see the club has found an off-field role for Georgie

Jaques has secured a new role with the club’s charity arm, Power Community Ltd., working within the Respectful Relationships and First Nations programs.

I can only think of Julia Teakle being available to back up Matilda in the ruck unless there is a DFA available.

A rookie ruck is a requirement in the draft.

Levicki list wise is a big loss. A ruck that could jump in and cover for Matilda when resting or injured. Finding someone that is prepared to be a backup ruck with no hope of being number one for a decade is challenging to say the least. Even a rookie would look anywhere else as opportunity will be minimal
