We don't need a winning ruck to win this game imo..
We've already got someone in SoJ that is more than capable of just competing, actually much much more, because his 2nd efforts and work rate are without question. SoJ can lose the tap and win the clearance, I don't think Mirkov can!
Don't listen to the naysayers, the likes of Darcy, Watson, King(Disappointing that he's joined in with the other kickers but I suppose he knows who butters his bread) and Lyon in the media telling Carlton fans it's a danger game, they are waiting to opportunistically stomp on our corpse and they'll tell you that same thing right up until the moment we hold up a chalice, at which time they'll flip like the mangy dogs they are! They repeat the same garbage every week, every quarter, every moment, breeding doubt, and then when it inevitably happens as it must that something goes wrong, they say "I told you so!
But the naysayers aren't Nostradamus's, they are not even Nostradamus's ar5ehole!
