Gawn was shocking last night. His skills were comically bad and he just looks slow and weak around the ground. What does he do before his Casey games, eat a can of spinach?After last night's game there is no way i want to see Gawn anywhere near the forward line
So that means Fitzy to have 1st crack with Jamar as he can kick goals

After last night's game, I hope that comment about kicking goals is directed towards Fitz and not Jamar!
Fitzy is a garbage ruck though , relax you blokes one bad game in nab 1 doesn't ruin your career
Yeah his kicking was garbage, but so was the majority of the teams as was the marking
He's still my favourite to he number 1 ruck by the end of the year
I have a lot of time for Gawn.
He generally has good hands and kicking is pretty reliable. He had a bad one.
What is worrying is his ability to utilise his height advantage, holding his ground (he is 110+kg FFS) and consistency.
He doesn't dominate the rucks and utilise his 208cm in the AFL. He has racked up a lot of hitouts in VFL but that means nothing as a lot of VFL ruck's are smaller.
He can take a good mark or can be clean below his knees but when you expect him to do it again next time, he can spill it.
We can't go with Jamar and Gawn. They aren't good enough in F50 and both need a long time in the ruck.
Pedersen is our best option as the second ruck. Fitz is a 200cm midget.

You're right 1 bad nab game doesn't ruin a career but equally no good games in 6 years might, he's a genuine spud and I'll bet anything you might have of worth that Gawn will not be our no1 ruck by seasons end.
I don't think Gawn will be injury free ever. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not at the MFC next year.If he stays injury free he will be by the end of the year

The only thing Gawn has going for him is his height. His skills are awful and he plays weak, has the core strength of Jack Watts. Give me Spencer every day of the week. He's vigorous and throws his weight around, should be starting ruck. Jamar should have been traded four years ago when he was worth something. To think we kept him and let Martin go..
Spencer first ruck with Pedo giving him the odd chop out. Not sure if Fitzpatrick is an option. He looks lost in the ruck in the VFL.

If he's fit, yep, right now. IMO it's no coincidence that we played our best footy last year at the start of the season when he was first ruck. Time will tell this season and we can look at this thread again in six months time to see how it all panned out.Which team have you been watching?
Spencil as No 1 ruck? Right now?
We should have kept Martin - spot on, trading Jamar would've been a mistake but Gawn should never have been given the last 2year contract he received, Gawn should have been traded.The only thing Gawn has going for him is his height.

So Trengrove has someone to talk to about navicular injuries?! They are both close to dusted. No Kreuze please. Would be interesting to see what Garland and/or Gawns trade value was. Maybe a third or fourth round pick for either? I think Col is going to find it hard to get a game this year. I'd have Jetta, McDonald, Frost, Lamumba, Salem and Dunn all ahead of him. He's competing with Grimes and Howe for the first replacement defender IMO.We should trade Gawn & Garland for kruezer
He's better than GawnYou go on about Gawn skills (That are actually pretty good for a guy his size, he had one bad kick that people are overreacting at) and then proceed to (yet again) name Spencer.
Jake Spencer. A bloke actually dropped the football when kicking for goal from a set shot and you harp on about Gawn?
Us playing good footy at the start of the season had zero to do with Spencer but everything to do with low expectations, a game style that teams hadn't seen from us before and young fresh players who weren't out on their feet like they were in the second half of the season.
Spencer has no redeeming football qualities, no skills, shit ruck and slower than Brock McLean with two broken legs.
He'll be no.1 on the injured list that's about itGawn was poor against Freo but it was literally one NAB challenge game, I'm not too worried. Still agree with nickgrant69 he'll be our number 1 ruck by years end.
