The Great Ruck Debate.

[Thryleon]

I wonder if Voss and co may be looking at Fremantle’s ruck setup. Darcy is the anchor, like a better version of Pittonet, and Jackson is the mobile, athletic one, like Tom De Koning. I’m safely assuming (hoping) the MC will leave nothing to chance and will continue to thoroughly explore all options, even if that means a variable, horses for courses approach, based on the best solution for the opposition.

It's not just the opposition. 

Its also the mids below.  Would our rucks go as well with a second string midfield going around at their feet?

Cripps, Kennedy, Hewett, Walsh, cerra.  All capable of winning the clearance.

Would freos ruck duo worked as well with our slower bigger midfield crew?

How would our rucks go in their midfield setup?

All pointed questions.

We've argued about the stats, and the ladder but the scoreboard lies too. 

14.14 to 15.9.  On paper freo won, but in practice did they win easily?  I haven't seen any of it, so I don't know, the stats can lie.
