Onya Tommy.
Didnāt let me down.,
Has been very good, having Leuey as competition has given him a rocket. I am sure Woosha has made it clear that they can only play one genuine ruck, and it has brought out the best in Belly. He makes us a much better team when on song.
He was in the rooms after the game last night so I assume so.
i reckon heāll finish top 5 in our B&F this yearā¦
Heās having a ripper year to dateā¦

Not a chance. Heās only played half the games so far for starters. If he maintains this form for the rest of the season maybe an outside chance for top 10

Do you have all your gems from the past classified by player, category or smugness ?

I have them searchable by thread.
if he plays the next 1-2 months like he has the past 2 weeks- maybe (would be amazing!). otherwise - no way. short memory it seems here - he was deplorable a few weeks ago when it mattered.
If he can keep up what heās doing now - it goes a long way to reaching somewhere this year - the tandem with JD, the extra tall timber and pressure when heās forward (how do you line up when there are 3/4 6"5/6"6 players?)
Best ruckman we have had since JAMAR.

Over the last 4-6 weeks TBell has been playing 84 to 86% time on ground. I will agree he was bad in the last quarter against Brisbane, as were the other mids.
One way to reduce his loading and mix things up, would be to send him to the goal square and bring Joe into the ruck for a bit more of the 85%, lets say we drop his ruck time to 80%. OK, he is not a highly mobile forward, but he is a good contested / pack mark and Joey can play really well on the ball.
The other way would be to cut back on his training loads just a little and do whatever they can to improve his recovery, so he is as fresh as possible at the end of games.
Exactly what I was gonna say
Heās gone past luey by a mile

Form ruckman in the league at the moment. Only bloke to get a hold of Ryder.
Beat grundy.
Iām not going to go overboard on T Bell just yet. Has been good since his inclusion and is living up to the potential he showed in the past. His taps to advantage over the last two weeks have been good and our mids have lifted in response. His last quarter against Brisbane was woeful but you could rightly say he had plenty of mates.
Prior to this year I would have thought that Looneyās edge over TBell was that he was more mobile. But in the end TBell has shown himself to be stronger AND more mobile. The icing on the cake is that TBell is a better mark and is dangerous close to goal.
If TBell can keep this up for the next 6 weeks we could see our midfield ranking improve dramatically.

Iād be putting my faith in them.

I like seeing him throw his weight around out there. He has a bit of Steve Alessio about him, big man but he is a bit too nice. He is 200cm+ and over 100kgs, the way he played v St.Kilda is the template he should look at. Aggressive at ground level, strong in the air, clunk some marks, kick goals and also give the mids first use from the ruck. With Leuey breathing down his neck he canāt afford to rest on his laurels. That can only be a good thingā¦
