I remember meeting Bogut at The G while he was still playing, he was tall but looked far leaner than he seemed on TV. Since then over the last few years I've seen him a couple of times since he pulled the pin on playing, he looks more heavily built now but he wouldn't be as fit or strong, but now he looks like people imagine from the TV.

Mirkov needs one more pre season - Preuss is a 115kg 207cm monster
TDK is 22 and needs another 2-3 years to mature and fill out

I'm thinking more about preserving Tom......dont expect to win the ruck but dont want to see TDK worn down either given his injury history. Also not a fan of Cripps rucking....
Re: AFL Rd 9 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs GWS - northernblue - 05-15-2022
I think a few of us are of the opinion that Mirkov is not strong enough and given his inexperience is unlikely to be able to exert and influence, let alone be competitive.
If TDK goes down, we WILL have no other choice than to ruck him, but until then we need him to keep plugging away and learning in the twos.

Interested to see what we do in the ruck next week. Particularly given our travel and 5 day break.
Hope Williams is ok??and Young is fresh after iso.
Re: AFL Rd 9 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs GWS - LP - 05-15-2022
If Young is back the thing is life gets a bit easier for TDK, because Young, Cripps and SoJ can take around the ground stoppages. If you can cut back the deep repeat running TDK has to do he'll stay fresh longer, as he gets a chance to recuperate.
Plus each week TDK gets through this stuff uninjured the bigger his tank gets.
But it'll be tough, this week we got a bit of advantage from surprise about how we would structure up, next week that advantage is gone. Also next weekend the Swans are seriously heavy lifting opposition in the midfield.
Not sure about the thoughts of others fans, but I was a bit surprised Greene wasn't given more of a midfield run today, I presume he's carrying an injury of sorts because nothing else really explains it.

I’m thrilled that we were able to win under real duress. Voss has talked about adding layers from day one. We’ve added layers allowing us to:
Stop the big runs resulting in getting rolled
Fill gaps left by many crucial injuries
Vary tempo in key moments
Hold on till the end
Win games with varied challenges
Win more than we lose
And that’s after only about 6 months of an entirely new coaching crew and game plan. On top of that Vossy’s public commentary is so superior to his predecessors in DT, BB, & MM.
There’s clearly much more to unfold. Can’t help but feel optimistic and a little in awe of the Voss Way
Go Blues

Nice to be in the 10 Best Moments twice.
Docherty’s long range goal
TDK’s speccy
Way better than featuring our players colliding into each other to stuff up a goal? Or kicking at the opposition’s goals?
