I'm thinking the club has a plan for our rucks over the next 3 weeks with back to back 6 day breaks.

Vs Melb - Witts and White
Vs Dogs - Grundy and Witts
Vs Hawks - Grundy and White (Reid comes back too)

Can't see the club playing either Witts or Grundy all 3 weeks.

all i pray if for no more injuries to our Key position defenders. we are one injury away from being in serious trouble in our defence.

Don't know, was this bloke wearing number 20 today in the VFL who could fill in down back.

Just noticed Melbourne have listed 4 talls in there forwardline aswell as 2 ruckman, the likes of Seedsman, Williams, Langdon, Young and Lumumba should have field days peeling off of there opponents and running the ball out of defence.

That's all good and well as long as our midfielders put in the effort to create enough pressure on their disposals going inside 50. Otherwise their forward line will have a field day taking marks on opponents 10cm shorter than them. Obviously I'd back our midfield to do so, but they've had their poor moments too.

... and was a word in the recent US Spelling Bee! (and about the only one I got right )

Spell...psychophysicotherapeutics.


Ooh!

Either that or Melbourne will get 255 contested marks inside 50?

We a Shootout and Dees want it to be a Contested Slog of a Game

I don't mind the one ruck setup. Either way one of them was going to go anyway for Reidy. We needed one more midfielder.

So would you rather Grundy or Witts?

I prefer Grundy but Witts has the Bigger Tank at the Moment

 

[MAGPIE2013]

witts has really improved his mobility this year. now he needs to start developing into becoming a genuine threat in our fwd 50

 

[September Action]

witts has really improved his mobility this year. now he needs to start developing into becoming a genuine threat in our fwd 50

He looks like a player all of a sudden. What worries me is I like White as second ruck - esp once Reid is fit. So what would that mean for Witts or Grundy?

Not a terrible problem to have, and generally, injuries sort these things out, but...

Edit: Witts still gets pushed off the ball too easily for mine. More strength through core please.

Do we know if Jesse White's wife has given birth yet? That could end up being the late change, re: Grundy.

It worries me that the guy trying to drive us to win a premiership can't drive his own car without getting bogged.
