It will be interesting to see what the selection folk do with the rucks this week.
It will tell a bit of a story as to how committed they are to the "Two ruck solution" :D

Yep its a much talked about topic but its hard to argue against that....
Can't be that hard to argue against it. I've been arguing with 90% of the people on here about it for a couple years. :P

It will depend on what they decide and I don't think they'll be taking advice from us ;)  :D

One factor that may come into play is the number of changes they want to make.
With the forced changes, will they be concerned about too many changes
On the other hand, with McGovern and Saad out of the game the drive from the backline will need bolstering


GWS usually only relies on the one ruck, Briggs.
It really makes sense for us to only play one.
If that's not the case, and we play both, then there may be some 'alternate' thinking taking place.
(or they may just be stubborn   :D )

run , run and more run.
We looked out of sorts changing up formation - alot of players looked lost including Weitering expecting players to do a job up the field to play his natural game but our runners were too gassed. 2 minutes of sprinting is alot of work for a player. Pitto taking up half a game over works our runners

so run, run and more run.

We are at our best when we are the hunter, at the moment we are the hunted. Need to flip that around this weekend.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly.

Oh look, we are going in with 2 rucks again.

Not only that
Young offers less run than Gov.
Cowan offers less run than Saad.

So we were lacking with run last week, so they've 'fixed it' by 'adding' less run this week.

Also no chance of putting a tall as an emergency because that will come from....
[37] Jordan Boyd,
[16] Jack Carroll,
[14] Orazio Fantasia,
[19] Corey Durdin,
[7] Matthew Kennedy
*facepalm*

Eventually we'll win one of these, but it will be from good luck rather than good management.

I have no problem with going into the match with no run - but need to scrap the game plan from beginning of year as that handball run and gun game from turnover is not going to work with two rucks.

I have no problem if its the game plan of last year contested dominating stoppages and clearances then two rucks makes more sense but run and gun from turnover is not going to work.

I don’t mind the side however I would have dropped Fantasia for Cincotta to provide some flexibility down back and a bigger body against GWS - let’s hope there is a late surprise Sat.

What's the story with Cincotta? Didn't play last week in the VFL but named as an emergency?
