Analysis Grundy, Cox and Cameron Discussion

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

I don’t think that this is totally out of the question. The guy simply can’t ruck for the next seven years, so why not rotate him through this position. He’s agile enough, has a good pair of hands, and can kick a long goal.
Thoughts.

Darcey Cameron may have been recruited for insurance, but now that Grundy has committed, we have considerably more flexibility. As much as Mihochek tries, he is limited in his output.
We all saw how much impact Tom Lynch had for Richmond last year.

He might play more Forward but he still be our Number 1 Ruck

Must be a full moon.

His marking has improved and he has the size and athleticism to play the role. Problem is he doesn’t have the forward nouse.

He’s always going to have the rucking intelligence so I don’t mind if it’s a role that gets trialled during the preseason and sounds like a good way to get extra mileage out of him.

Wouldn’t it be great if he finish his career at full forward monstering defenders.

Grundy is not a good contested mark for his size, never has been. He has improved recently, but he's not a lead and Mark or pack mark player. He can spend the vast majority of the game rucking and also spend time on the bench.

Whats with all these weird threads?
Let's waste Stevo on a wing??? Ben Reid is better than two forwards who've kicked many more goals than Ben ever has (Mihocek and Cox)?? and now maybe the weirdest of them all.... An AA ruckman to CHF....yeah that's a winner....

Really???
Are people sooooooo....missing the footy that they've come to this?

Yes. Posters are bored and searching for side issues or lateral solutions to potential problems.

Ben Reid scores way more goals than Cox

It used to be that such threads were deleted.

Lateral thinking should be encouraged not frowned upon.

The board must have been boring back then.

In the VFL? or in the 3 games a year that he plays?

Quite the opposite in fact.

Neither Cox nor Mihochek has spend more than half their career as a defender.

God I love the offseason on this board

 

[Leviathan Pie]

lol

 

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

Glad I didn’t suggest he should play back pocket! There’d probably be a witch hunt for me.
We were beaten badly at centre half forward in the prelim, Mihochek was completely ineffective. For the first time in his career he was heavily targeted as a danger player, and the result was that we lost.
Grundy on the other hand amassed close to record stats as a ruckman that day, but kept palming the ball to his feet, to no obvious advantage, I can’t remember one occasion where he punched it forward a few metres to gain some ground, and catch the Giants out.

 

[noideaatall]

What about bringing Blair out of retirement? Good hands, knows where to lead. That would free Grundy up to take back pocket.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

I reckon we should try him in the Ruck, I think he could make a name for himself in that position

Blair is a touch short for the ruck.

Don’t shift the goal posts. The argument over whether Reid is a better forward than Cox is separate to his durability issues. A fit Reid is a far better forward than Cox.

Still scratching my head, are you basing that on his outstanding previous form as a forward, just no from me

Really...

Was 0.02 goals per game more in 2019.
