You watch what happens if McGovern gets fit and kicks a few in the magoos, we'll bring McGovern in to replace Levi as a 2nd ruck because he has done it more than once before, but that was before the current ruck rules, so he'll play shizen in the ruck and fans will want his blood.

Agreed. We have a loss and if any of the Setterfield - Levi - Murphy triumvirate has a bad game, then this place might explode.
100% effort 100% of the time...or clean out your locker.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

So horribly out of form it not funny. As for young Setterfield, two softer games of footy I have not seen from him. He needs to extract the digit this week, no doubt about it. Its blokes like him we need the lift from. They need to step up, be agressive and take the load off the older blokes. Look at Syd performance yesterday, their young blokes played like 10 yr veterans FFS, we just keep making excuses for ours. Sick of it.

There isn't another level down from ZERO

There isn't another level down from ZERO True, but as Buckley found out it's not just about taps.
Levi's never been a big first-hands player, his improvement in recent years was the 2nd efforts and around the ground stuff. If we had smarter coaches they'd leave Pittonet on the ground and D50 side of the center, and have Levi ruck inside F50 100% using his strength.
McDonald hasn't much of a ruck 2nd effort, he's a ruck baby!

Levis only benefit is his size and marking and Oscar has shown decent enough marking and Levi doesn't use his size enough.
As I've pointed out for a couple years now, hitout stats is a crock. Hitouts to advantage and clearances mean hitouts are irrelevant. Buckley agrees.
