Faaaaaaaaark.
FARK!
Enter Thurlow?
Will effect his whole year. Come back Hillie!
Come back NLM!
Enter the Stein ?
Yeah, I was wondering about that.
We're not just down a ruckman, we're down our second tall forward, arguably our first.
I'll say it just once, this would be less of a problem if Hurley were left forward, but he won't be, so...
Bring in another ruckman?
At least you're not further depleting the forward-line by sending Daniher into the ruck.
We should take this as gospel from the AFL since it has been written in this agreement! I hope they haven't verbally changed anything.....
May never play agian.
Seriously though, this is why we need to have a mature-age ruck on our list each year.
Is it even technically feasible for us to get Hille back on a short term basis (or have I spent way too much time following American sports)?
Or send Hurley fwd and have Pears play 2nd tall.Yeah, I was wondering about that.

We will have to upgrade Thurlow, even though it would be nice to upgrade Steinberg.
I’m not sure Thurlow should / will play, but you can’t have a total of one proper ruckman on the proper list.
Has to be Thurlow. If something happens to Paddy then we will be stuffed.
Thurlow is a big bodied mature bloke, recruited for just this reason.
Time to activate the ruckman insurance policy.
IT BEGINS
IT BEGINS
I just wish I knew how many people here were taking the ■■■■ and how many were serious...
We got Thurlow for this eventuality. Losing Bellcho is bad, real bad, but I'd rather lose him than Jobe, Stants, Pig or Buckets.
I just hope Ryder steps up ala 2009 (was it 09? pretty sure it was... The year we beat an unbeaten Saints)
for whom the bell tolls.
or something.
You could get Monet - let alone Cess - to paint it any way you like, but its still a disaster in a football sense.
1 ruckman is not an issue it’s more our forward set up. Hurley needs to play forward until T Bell comes back Imo. With only Carlisle up forward, players like S.Thompson and Lake will feast on JD.
Fletch, Hooker and Pears can cover down back.
Ryder plays better as the lone ruckman.
Of course we are ■■■■■■ if he gets injured.
Upgrade Steinberg? Surely Dell'Olio and Thurlow would be more likely upgrades.
