Haha, PS4....your restraint is admirable....you would have grounds for a fair dinkim 'I told youse!' rant.
My word Freddy looked poorly as a Ruck didn't he? Don't think he is the right option.
I'd say it will be Frampton....and to be honest he looked lost in the backline tonight, so at least its a role he might be able to play. Did OK in those rounds last year when we were ruckless....

Can only be Billy Frampton. He’s lost his way through the mid season anyway from being chopped around. Victim of his versatility when early in the season he was our best back by far. Should have left him there but instead we moved him and he was unsettled. This is a good chance now to reset and focus on one role.
Krueger will need to provide chop out ruck.
Short of having only 21 other fit players Johnson has not done enough to return to the AFL in my eyes. Effort. Body language. Marking. All the stuff off the ball when you don’t have it. All the stuff that makes you a player in Fly’s eyes.
No Cox, Begg or Steene is a problem. At least we did pick a ruck in the MSD and Smit looks to have some upside with general physicality but he’s young and raw at this stage and has a poor kicking technique which could be exposed at AFL level. Smit with a few preseasons under his belt and some development might be a different story. He’s competed well but well beaten by VFL rucks from Casey North and Essendon so far.
If Frampton and or Krueger go down next, then we’re really in trouble but need to give Frampton all of our ruck support for the next month

Ed Allen kicked our last goal of the year at the 58minute mark of the last quarter
Why not use Moore!!!!
He could be a great ruckman!!!
Maybe we will keep him playing the kick out week in week out
He loves turning the ball over with the kick out.
You win games in the midfield these days.
That is where we have lost the last 2 weeks.
Is is the midfield stupid!
His old man who won 2 brownlows is adamant that is where he should play
