I'll complain more when our Ruckman cant fight their way out of a paper bag.

So… are we taking bets on the paper bags?

We'll all remember when the season starts

 

[Waynesworld]

Is TT actually injured, or is he just being held at arms length again?

Have you been living in a cave?

We bet on anything here.

You know KiwiRoo, I love your picture, is that someone fishing in New Zealand or just in general?

One my mates is a keen photographer but doesnt fish took some photos one day ( which I didn't know about) and sent them to me.

where were you staying Gaso ?

Good to see CCJ up and about

Looks trim.

Interesting comment about him training with the forwards. Would have thought he had a bit more time in the ruck.

I get the impression CCJ really doesn't see himself as a ruck. Just filling in because he has to.

That's worrying because as a forward he leaves a lot to be desired.

Also confuses me since I thought one of the selling points to get him across was because he’d be played in his preferred position, of ruck…?!

‘He requested a trade to Arden Street after nine games across four seasons with the Tigers and is tipped to eventually succeed the 33-year-old Todd Goldstein as the side's long-term No.1 ruck.’

that's exactly what i remember, he specifically wanted to play in the middle

A lot has changed since he requested the trade to North.

Came across under Noble who would have sold him the number 1 ruck dream, however we know Clarko prefers his rucks to be crash & bash and as good as Goldy was / is he was never a Clarko type ruck, Xerri is CCJ isn't. I suspect they've had this conversation and he's now focussed on being a forward who can pinch hit in the ruck when needed.

I know he divides opinion on this board but I actually think it's a good move for CCJ give him time and continuity and we will hopefully see a decent footballer.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Important for CCj to literally stand up and support Larkey. If he can it makes the forward line better and allow Larkey to not try and beat two all the time. CCj needs to work with Larkeys running patterns to create options. I hope

And contest like animal - which he definitely is built for

 

[spurs]

He kicked 9 last year in a VFL game didn't he? That gives me hope that he has the tools to make it as a forward.

Its funny, when I watched the video my first thought was about the trade and his desire at the time.
Then I thought he is on the bus! Clarko loves role players and you either know your role or you are off the bus. I took his words to be about a real buy in on the "plan" whatever that is and its really great to see and hear.

Based on what I've seen he has little chance as a primary ruck, smarter if he wants a career to try and be a forward / utility / relief.

 

[Tiberius]

Anyone care to catch me up on what's been being discussed for the past two months? All good if not.

Well, it goes something like this; Our rucks?, Tristan Xerri injury {plate inserted in his cheek}, dimmy pizza's, dimmy sliders, our Arden street ground resurfacing {completed}, fishing, sharks, rebuild or not to rebuild?, Colby burning up the track, by most not all watchers, Australia Day {Have a guess}, mowing the lawn, train on players?, the AFL will no longer reveal players weights, cooper Harvey training well, and majority of the team training better, fitter and with PBs on the track are so far on schedule, players loads being managed, eg: Harry and a few of the other guys, just doing enough at this stage of the season to be Xerri ripe for round one!

I missed the bit about dimmy sliders, could you give me the page number? Cheers
