Hille has been utterly disappointing!
He is a ruckman who couldn't win a tap to save himself!

I'm not the biggest Hille fan in the world, but I thought that was a bit harsh Topdon. He is competent, it just happens that there are alot of good ruckman going around ATM. He definitly should have done better against Carlton, couldn't have been asked to do any better against monster Sandilands and won the ruck duels against Adelaide. He will probably come out on top this week. To be noticed as a good ruckman, you have to be top quality. Hille falls just under this bracket, but he is probably the best of the rest.
The coach who stacked on the Hille weight, needs to be sacked. He was a leviathan, now he's lumbering.

Agreed, the modern day ruckman needs to move around the ground well. Hopefully they don't do the same with Paddy...

Not a fan at all.
For a number 1 ruckman in the prime of his career he is very, very average.
I would much rather see Laycock and Ryder rucking in the forward and back halves respectively. Laycock has the height and Ryder the altheticism - two key foundations of a quality ruckman - for which Hille has none.
It would also be a lot easier to accomodate Johns in the forward line when needed.

Trying to get back to your agenda i see
Do you not agree he is lumbering somewhat, Ant robus?
Get rid of the laptop - they only have limited use.

Dont know about lumbering, i didnt think he was that good before he got bigger. Previously i was prepared to cut him some slack as he was young and inexperienced. Now he should be ready to show something. I dont think it is because of his size , i think it has more to do with his lack of ability. Want to balme the coach for that feel free . They rate him , a lot of people dont.
Well Ant robus, his size now seems to be an anchor and I think it is sad.
He's naturally a big boy. If he were to drop, Id imagine so would his energy levels. His body mass is all genetic.
FFS what has last years stats got to do with this year, Poyndexter ?
Is lachy McKinnon a chance in the future or is he injured. Ive heard that he isn't to bad in the ruck.
Didnt think I was comparing them, in reference to their size being a topic of discussion, but thanks.
