Walters got one week ban so he will miss.
Very dangerous forward and exactly the type we always struggle to contain.
Massive out i reckon.

It's not too big of a stretch to imagine Patton slotting comfortably into our 2nd ruck role! ;D
What I was saying though was GWS didn't pick a ruck that week, lost the taps 47-4 but won the clearances.

I've said this once before, the AFL ruck coaches need to get their head around the rules. I'd be coaching the rucks to nominate then move back 10m to take an aggressive run at the drop zone. The small players and opponents cannot shepherd that run without being penalised, and the large player is free to jump into them aggressively if the small opponent stands under the drop zone. I'm surprised some of the more aggressive rucks haven't worked this out for themselves already! Turn the boundary line throw ins and around the ground ball ups into old style ruck contests without a circle!
The problem is, and it's another blight on the game, is that most rucks have absolutely o idea how to time their run and jump in a ruck contest. I think it's embarrassing for them

It might help if the umpires could bounce a ball properly.
Or throw it up so that they can actually get out of the way before the rucks come into the contest.

@Laj, GWS had Lobb, Patton and Cameron, do they need more?
Lobb broke his ribs in the 1st quarter and didn't play after 1/2-time, they won't ruck Cameron due to his injury history, so they rucked Patton who is horribly out of form and Himmelberg who is undersized against Witts who is in red hot form, could be a good reason for the tap count!
I suppose they could have rucked Davis, they have done it before, but when he's stopping Lynch why change because no Lynch means no GC!

How long have we been calling for that one?
Not a single backman in to replace him?!
Has Bolton lost the plot and started picking a more balanced side for a change?

Does that mean Kennedy and Pickett failed fitness tests?

Happy with that, Cunningham has talent but his past couple of games have been poor, so have O'Shea's but he doesn't have much talent.
Hoping for a big effort by the seniors and for Harry to stake a claim.
