Yes, last week we were desperate for anyone faintly looking like a ruckman.
We have only a few on the list.
Senior List:
[1] Kreuzer
[2] Phillips
[3] Gorringe
Rookie List:
[1] Korchek
VFL list:
[1] Angus Milhan
[2] Sean Bolger
That is to cover 3 teams each week.
Of those, only Phillips and Bolger were fit last week. Phillips really struggled and is some weeks away, Bolger has been playing CHB for the VFL Development side. He played VFL seniors last week, as the back-up for Liam Jones.
That provided us with 0 ruckmen for the development game, which we still almost won.
It shows that out squad is very light on ruckmen of any variety.
In fact, it would be the only division that does not look to have improved its personnel.
One of our recruiting priorities for this year should be to improve our ruck stocks. Why?
[1] Kreuzer has a heart like Phar Lap, but he is not a premiership winning ruckman.
[2] Phillips offers a bit, but does not look like the answer either.
[3] Gorringe is just not a great ruckman. He is better in other roles and should be used in them.
[4] Korchek doesn't look like the answer either. His actual ruck work has improved quite a bit, but he does not have much of a tank and he is still ordinary in the other aspects of the game.
We can keep Korchek on for another year without a problem, as he is an International Rookie. Kreuzer is worth more for us than he as a trade. Nobody will give us the picks worth his worth to us. Phillips and Gorringe o on their last chances.
