Re: The Ruck Division .... Is It Really Competent Enough ??
Reply #275 –
Sounds ally good until it actually happens and goes crap because TDK would struggle more forward. I'm more inclined to give Harry time in the ruck. He'd help around the ground. Nothing like a nice gallop around the ground free of the restraints of a defender to get a bit confidence.
Interesting to say but we miss Levi. May have been a jack of all trades, master of none, but having a 2nd ruck, who can ruck competently, mark around the ground and hit the scoreboard will be handy. Harry is probably the one who could play a similar role, part of it an upgrade (Levi might have been a better actual ruck, hence "part").
Levi's played some good footy the last 2 years, possibly his best footy, and free from the jinx of having a navy blue jumper on him (haha), kicking way better at goal.
Couldn't agree more. H, in some ways, is a wasted resource as he is very quick over the grass enabling him to get from contest to contest, has a piercing and often accurate left foot disposal, takes a good mark and is highly competitive. We could do more to help him get more out of his abilities, not to mention the confidence build that would come from such a move... to a 2nd ruck.
