I was half expecting the 3 rucks for this week. Warnock is our best tap ruckman and was on the verge 2 weeks ago - seems fair enough. Kruezer has really struggled in the ruck, so why not play him at CHF without Waite in our forward line? Both Krooz and Hammer are athletic enough to play KP. Just have to learn to play the positions, so I am livid we haven't tried this previously. I don't give a shit if it didn't work for Essendon* because Essendon* don't have our 2 players mobility!
I actually think we look a little slow in the midfield with Robinson & McLean but atleast they will both hopefully give 100% and get their fair share of the pill and maybe use the runners to get it into open spaces.
Yep agree club - will be interesting to watch this unfold.
Believe it or not - I have a good feeling about this game.....don't ask me why though!

I think we both know you don't just "learn" to play KP. Not exactly a recipe for winning a flag. If it was that easy one wouldn't bother drafting KP forwards. Just get lots of ruckmen to do duel roles. Rarely in history have ruckmen made gun forwards. Can think of Salmon, McKernan, and possibly Simon Madden.

BTW I think Ryder is as mobile as any of our ruckmen. Mobility is one thing, actually having the ability to play as a KP forward is another.

..the difference these days is, it's rare to see a FF being able to just 'lead out from the square' all game.. ..and if yer gonna play 3 rucks, using two of them as KPF's is madness.. ..all those ruck/fwds that did well [actually quite a short list] all had bonafide KPF support..
