| Post subject: | RATing our ruckmen |
RATing our ruckmen (best to least) in a number of categories with Sam Jacobs thrown in as a discussion point - purely my opinions based on having seen all of them many times in the AFL and VFL Rucking at: Centre Bounce: Jacobs > Hampson > Warnock > Kreuzer > Casboult Around the ground: Jacobs = Kreuzer > Warnock > Hampson > Casboult Boundary throw-ins: Jacobs > Kreuzer = Hampson > Warnock > Casboult Forward pocket: Hampson > Jacobs > Kreuzer > Warnock > Casboult Marking as: Key forward: Casboult > Hampson > Kreuzer > Jacobs > Warnock Ruckman floating forward: Kreuzer > Jacobs > Casboult > Hampson > Warnock Behind the ball: Jacobs > Kreuzer > Hampson > Warnock > Casboult Ground level contributions: Linking up: Kreuzer = Jacobs > Warnock > Hampson > Casboult Blocking: Kreuzer > Jacobs > Warnock > Hampson > Casboult Clearances: Kreuzer > Jacobs > Warnock > Hampson > Casboult Chase & tackle: Kreuzer > Casboult = Hampson > Jacobs = Warnock Physical parameters: Speed: Hampson > Casboult > Kreuzer = Warnock > Jacobs Endurance: Kreuzer > Jacobs > Warnock = Hampson > Casboult Leap: Hampson > Casboult > Kreuzer > Warnock > Jacobs Mental parameters: Football brain: Kreuzer = Jacobs > Hampson = Warnock > Casboult Intensity at physical contest: Hampson > Casboult > Kreuzer = Jacobs > Warnock Play when injured: Kreuzer > Jacobs > Hampson > Warnock = Casboult |

Great Analysis Rat and spot on IMO. Interesting listening to radio before and Walls was saying that we need to get Warnock back into the side. It was like it was the answer to everything.  Just shows these guys no matter how much history they have they have NFI whats going on now. The guy is injured and as others pointed out Kruezer is better as no one and Casboult is showing himself to be a very handy back up and is more of a forward which is important. |
