Yes, Jack Reiwoldt, Taylor Walker, Patrick Cripps, Nat Fyfe, etc etc all played in the ruck. It ruins them. So many clubs copying Richo.

West Coast had the biggest team in the comp last season... of course, it depends who your bigs are... but blind freddy can see that we require another ruck option to help Marshall.supersaints2 wrote: ↑Thu 11 Apr 2019 8:54pm Had a few discussions on this forum with ex posters.... adamant you couldn't play two ruckman... despite Hawks great success... the only premiership they lost was when Cigler ( or whoever was the second ruck during their three peat) was out injured and they went in with one ruck
We should play Pierce or Longer ( if they are fit enough . Rowan shorter spells and move him forward resting around the pocket.. Judy my opinion... fwiw

Richmond, Adelaide and Carlton have been underwhelming thus far. The trend isn't working.skeptic wrote: ↑Thu 11 Apr 2019 10:09pmStrange post.takeaway wrote: ↑Thu 11 Apr 2019 8:42pmYes, Jack Reiwoldt, Taylor Walker, Patrick Cripps, Nat Fyfe, etc etc all played in the ruck.

Are you arguing that it’s working well for us? Is there an alternate universe where Acres was BOG last week.
No, Hawks have 2 rucks, I would have had Longer in, but maybe he is not ready. Pierce not showing much form. Hence according to form/availability, one ruck selected, with relief provided by Bruce, Wilkie, Acres, etc. So we are just doing the same as other teams with one main ruck - Tigers used Jack R, Cripps is used for Blues, Fyfe at boundary throw ins, and plenty of others. So these clubs are also ruining those players? Not just "bad habits" by Saints only. That was my point.skeptic wrote: ↑Thu 11 Apr 2019 10:09pmStrange post.takeaway wrote: ↑Thu 11 Apr 2019 8:42pmYes, Jack Reiwoldt, Taylor Walker, Patrick Cripps, Nat Fyfe, etc etc all played in the ruck.

Yep. It is the trend now, with clubs really cautious that they are not top heavy. Having the midfielders that shark a losing ruckman is key.takeaway wrote: ↑Thu 11 Apr 2019 8:42pmYes, Jack Reiwoldt, Taylor Walker, Patrick Cripps, Nat Fyfe, etc etc all played in the ruck.

So you don’t like this type of set up and would do something different if it was viable?takeaway wrote: ↑Thu 11 Apr 2019 11:51pmNo, Hawks have 2 rucks, I would have had Longer in, but maybe he is not ready.

They also may not wish to lose pace by adding another ruck. Not sure what you are getting at in comment re Acres.
