Shorter quarters helps Petracca doesn't it?

 

[Kidult]

Yes, there's 25 minutes less opportunity for everone to do everything. Nothing makes Forwards any differently treated.

Same number of rotations in less game time so midfielder's can have a few extra bursts

 

[Bomber18]

@pizza safety You'll love to hear that Greenwood is now in contention last minute to make my side with the shorter games. Surely helps him right?

Yes it surely would help him. I currently can’t afford him and have Tracca instead

Given our review of last night. Burst effective style players look to score higher given our high disposal players don’t have the time to accumulate... any thoughts on Jordan de Goey??

 

[Hasnoshoes]

Any love for Fort? Has to be a good sign that he was picked solo ruck for round 1.

 

[quite ironic]

Really warming to Ceglar at 417k over Brayshaw and others.

No.1 ruck role at Hawks without McEvoy.

When Ceglar played the no.1 ruck last 2 seasons he has scored the following:

94
83
110
87
79
102
63
78
100
for 88.44 average.


Patton the only other guy that may pinch hit too so should have free reign.

Unsure of his scoring ability with how many pinch hitting guys they also have:
Ratagoleua, Blicavs, if Stanley is named next game, Jenkins coming in etc.

Why wouldn't McEvoy pinch hit?

Been on Cegs for a while. Probably waited his entire career for the number 1 ruck. Passed the eye test for me, new rules help his TOG% and durability.

 

[NT.Thunder]

I don't mind Ceglar but I am worried about the new rules and how this may affect the make-up of their backline, they look tall.

 

[Kidult]

I'd be worried Ceglar only rucks chf through centre to chb and have McEvoy ruck the back 50 stoppages and Tim O'brien fwd 50.

 

[Stormzy]

This has prolly be answered but isn't Darcy Fort being the No.1 ruck worth it? Similar to Naismith but in the forward line which is easier to rotate with bench players

Think Naismith is well and truly locked in as #1 ruck for Sydney, whereas it's a revolving door at Geelong.

With the extra trades we have though, could be a risk worth taking.

 

[Bay11]

Why wouldn't McEvoy pinch hit?

Because Clarko is stubborn and wants to play McEvoy at CHB. Obrien will most likely pinch hit in the ruck

FWIW I think hawks are way too tall ( I have cegs at F4 currently)

 

[Dazza]

This is embarrassing by the bulldogs

 

[Bomber18]

Some info on DFort from Prospectus 2019, which says he was:

• the best ball winning ruckman in the 2018 SANFL, ranking No.1 for disposals, contested possessions and clearances.
• still adequate with his tap-work, ranking third in the league for HOs and fourth for HOTAs.
• a force up forward kicking multiple goals in four of his 13 games
• averaged 101 DT and 123 SC in the 2018 SANFL.

Obviously played out of position as a pure KPF last season. Shades of Marshall!

 

[Lgndhen23]

anyone thinking about starting fort ahead of brayshaw as a pod?
