No way im playing 2MP and not a second ruck. Makes us tall but allows Caddy to not have to be a prime target all the time until jones returns. Then depending on form id drop either second ruck or 2MP.
2MP needs a spell in the Magoos, until he finds his courage again.
Iād play Draper at FF and Bryan as first ruck.
Parish wonāt be fit enough to play; thank God for Setterfield.

Sadly perce I donāt think thatās an attibute you just āfindā.
Itās either there or it isnāt.
If heās healthy and looking OK in these practice matches Iād go with him R1 ā¦ but unlike Weid, after 2-3 below scratch games, heās back down to the 2s.
Is he doing any forward rucking in the sims or training?
Weāre two days away from the Dons first hit out of 2025 and Rock Edwards has joined Jono and Ian to talk about whatās been happening this pre-season.
Rick gives us the positives, the concerns and all about the newbies

I think Jobe is very very unlucky not be in the Top 10
I think it would really help in knowing how you worked out your top 100
Both the hosts made their top 100s, then we compared them and averaged it out to get the first draft. Then we sent the list to a few people that we respect to get their inputs before finalising it.
We certainly havenāt got everything right (Calthorpe too high, Kickett too low, for example). On Jobe, we felt his peak years were excellent, but that peak wasnāt overly long compared to some others.

Cheers, Not easy and a real conversation starter. I would imagine if you got a 100 people to do one you still wouldnt have many agreeing, I
With Jobe, Im surprised he is behind Bewick
He won a Brownlow, I know a lot got close, but not many left on this list actually won one. I think that deserves extra, I accept im fully biased as what he suffered through the sager still breaks my heart.

16 days to go - Darren Bewick
big reason for 1993 comeback against crows was his 6 goals that day.
Amazing listening to people reel off stuff that happenned during games like it was last week but that were over 20 years ago.

Rick Rock seemed a little lid on. My expectations have been tempered.
Borisā kicking on the run was a thing of beauty. He had every kick in the bag - barrels, bananas, check-side, pretty sure I saw him could a drop-kick a couple of times running into an open goal!
