I think Macreadie has also showed a bit, and at times last season Cripps, Charlie, Plowman, Marchbank and Weitering were very quick to defend team-mates.
In general it's been the younger blokes, while only ACoS, Rowe and Daisy were prepared to enter the fray.
Kennedy looks willing, but I haven't seen him tested yet, it will come!
Late last season Murphy has tried to hand out some bumps in traffic, he has tried it on a couple of times this season as well but he just hurts himself. We shouldn't ask him to try, or want him to try for that matter, because if he's injured we are stuffed.
None of our current ruckmen are of that type, although Kreuzer's manic single minded attack on the football incidentally causes some mighty bumps. Can't recall Lobbe being much of an enforcer, certainly none of them are Mumford.
Have to be careful about this discussion, there are many versions of flying the flag, some people mean handing out heavy shepherds or square ups, while others think it's entering a scuffle for a biff!
