Luke Jackson is crazy good. Not a fair comparison.

If you read what I replied to it was the Jackson vs Pittonet comparison because I original made the comparison between pittonet and Draper

Bugger 6-8 wks. Bryan will hopefully get a couple of opportunities to see how he goes on a resting Goldy.

It’s now or never for Bryan if he doesn’t get a shot he won’t be on our list next year he will want out

Thankfully we have great ruck stocks to cover Draper

He’ll definitely get a shot.
Interesting timing for Draper.
He won’t be a walk-up start back into the seniors by then.

Hopefully the knee is the reason for his drop in form. Fingers crossed he comes back strongly.

Iam not sure it seems that scott only likes to play the two ruck system when it’s Draper and goldy that says to me he doesn’t have confidence in Bryan

It’s crap for Draper buts it’s the break Bryan needs to finally get his Afl career underway, hopefully Brad gives him a shot and he grabs it with both hands.
I can see Bryan having a real impact.

Bryan + Goldy are not a great pair of rucks as neither impacts much up forward.
Goldy + 2MP is a better option, and
Bryan + 2MP when Goldy doesn’t play.

This is where you’d love to have 5 on the bench rather than 4 and a sub. You wouldn’t be quite as concerned carrying two rucks like Goldy and Bryan who aren’t great resting forward if that were in place.

Thats not too bad really. If it stays at 6-8 weeks.
I don’t mind Goldy solo ruck and Jones in the side.

His presence and physicality around the stoppages will be missed

Hopefully comes back and finds some touch

Massive workload for Goldy if he’s gonna be flying solo for the most part. Maybe you give him the Suns game off and get Bryan in for that one. Save him the trip, freshen him up for Carlton.

Also, interesting we’ve decided to stagger this Draper news with the “Duursma 8-10 weeks” that’s no doubt on it’s way.
