Rd 3: Carlton vs Gold Coast: Post Game Pain

[jeza]

Unfortunately for Matty K, there are very few excuses left, he's just not very good!  If only the Pies hadn't pulled the deal!!

Remember his form late last year? Outstanding. That game against Melbourne especially.

What has changed from then to now?

I think the presence of a second ruckman in the team is having a dramatic effect again.

The same happened when they played him with Warnock.

Put him in the ruck and let him ruck all day.... this has the added advantage of being able to drop Phillips. Cas gets a run as a relief ruckman. The whole team looks better.

There are lots of teams still running with 1 ruckman despite the rule change. Why aren't we?

Nth Melb, Melb, Bulldogs, Coll, Rich, StK, Adel, GWS, GC, etc. NO ruckman!
