Everitt confirmed as 'out' for round 1

[swantastic]

The pinch hitter yes, Jolly no.

I think a lot of people tend to forget he's a very handy ruck man. OK he's not the best going around, but he'd make plenty of other teams as 1st pick ruck man.

King is a good player that can ruck, but not the best ruck man going around. Gardiner has had two years on the side lines, let's see what happens.

Spot on there RP,i dont think people are giving credit where credit's due.Jolly is a very good ruckman just not the best so he will hold his own,i've got no doubt about it.

The pinch hitter yes, Jolly no.

I think what he means is Gardiner + King > Jolly + Pinch hitter

That's all well and good,.... but what's Stuart McGill got to do with this thread?

... you don't think that the G-Banger looks like a gorilla???

No - gorillas are majestic and gentle animals!

Not Gehrig!

LRT or White to replace Everitt.

How about we throw Goodesy in the ruck??

Nah, that would have to be a last resort. While he has shown he is good enough to do it, he has not really played in the ruck for a few years. I prefer to see him running amok ala 2006 rather than in the ruck ala 2003.

Whilst I agree it would have to be as a last resort, don't forgoet he won his first Brownlow after spending the year playing the ruck.

I'm 6 Foot 3, give me a run in the ruck!!

[Chow-Chicker]

We'll get smashed in the ruck division unless Jolly plays out of his skin. Both King and Gardiner were in fine touch last week, and gave their onballers excellent first use.
