Ruck line is very irritating now. Thinking either fullarton to Traecy... Or LJones and Hickey in for Clark and Flynn... Thoughts?

Got 2 hours to figure it out.

Don't trust Traecy and I don't mind Hickey... But it's Clark to Jones after only 1 game that is putting me off it.
Just find a way to restructure and get Gawn and Grundy for mine.

Only with his hair cut that short though right?

He's taller than Josh Dunkley, so he's overly qualified to be listed as a ruckman.
True he might have his hair up tomorrow or be wearing his bigger boots.

Based on posts over the last few weeks , seems a lot of people think he is a ruckman just because he has F/R status in SC , thought it was established weeks ago he was essentially a key forward.

Maybe everyone who attends a ruck contest should have Ruck eligibility next season.

I remember a quote from someone at Freo saying that longer term they see him as a big-bodied mid in the mould of Bont and yes, Patrick Cripps.

I thought I read something preseason that potentially he could run through the mids (maybe rotate with Fyfe)

Haven't seen him play on TV yet so looking forward to watching Freo tomorrow.

View attachment 28766 He was excellent last night, one to keep in mind - it will be interesting to see how he goes when Hurn returns.
I'm more intrigued by how he goes when the opposition puts some pressure, like even any pressure on. He's a guy who should go at 90% when completely unpressured all day.

There was one kick-in where he jogged 35m out before kicking, not ran or sprinted, literally jogged and still no pressure came.

Does Logue affect Chapman in any negative way do you think?
Always the potential, Logue does rebound a bit and will probably take the 3rd tall role which will eat into Chapman's intercept opportunities to an extent. The question is whether Chapman benefits from a more favourable size matchup and can provide more rebound as a result.

Would think this week it's Cox to Walker, Ryan to Frampton, Hughes to Lynch and Logue to Fogarty if the Crows go in unchanged, which probably leaves Chapman with the tough McAdam matchup that will not be favourable for fantasy purposes as McAdams has been the Crows deepest forward for most of the games. They might go Conca on him though in which case Chapman gets freed into the very favourable McHenry/Rowe matchups.
