    I don't believe the ruckman needs to get possessions, but he needs to negate the opposition ruckman and fall back to assist in the backline.

    Chambers has improved in this area too, although still a lot of work to do.
    I agree with you 100% Bloods.

    With the quality of Jolly's possessions/disposals of late, I wish he'd take a leaf out of Chambers book.
    "Build it and they will come" was the theory. Seems most are keeping away, and it's sadly out of date.

    I guess Goodes is a Brownlow-winning idiot for publicly stating that he is modelling his game on Judd (and Kouta).

    I thought it was Roos who made the comment and I also thought it was Hird (and Kouta)!!

    Does a tap ruckman need to gather a lot of possesions. Look at Harry Madden. Couldnt kick to save himself, took about 10 marks in his whole career, but extremely valuable ruckman, and look at him now.

    I'm on the Torch Bandwagon. His Kamakazie efforts in the ruck and on the ground really impresses me.

    It's more sort of Kamikaze/Origami

    He charges into the contest in like a mad thing but usually ends up folded into an unusual shape at the bottom of the pack.
    Multidimensional ruckmen? Oh Melbournehammer. Next thing you'll be telling me they can be taught to speak!!!

    That mental image just got me into trouble at work for breaking into laughter.

    I reckon Roosy might give Jolly a rest this week. Jolly has an elbow injury and looks to be struggling a bit.

    Because of the Bulldogs' lack of talls (especially if Street gets suspended) then Chambers and possibly Shaw would be up against vastly smaller players.

    This could give Chambers (and Shaw) a lot of confidence and bring him into the game.

    No, not suggesting we flirt with form, just that if Street goes it is the ideal opportunity to give him some confidence and introduce Shaw to the big time.

    Always got Goodesy as a backup if it goes awry.

    Well there goes that idea - still think Jolly could use a rest though - he just seems to be below his best at the moment.
