Even when Hopper & Martin come back, our ruck has to give us first use & he just doesn’t.
I've always had huge reservations about Nakas never been his number 1 fan but tonight he was awful.
Luke Hodge was losing his nut. He was rucking against Penderbury & McStay and we weren't even get our hands on it.
We haven't developed our ruckman since Mark Lee and as soon as we do we trade him to Geelong.
The list of Ruckman from other clubs is mind blowing.

He has been poor ever since he became captain. Prior to that he was a bit average but at least took marks around the ground. Now he rarely marks the ball and never hits to our advantage. I would prefer us to play Miller in his role.
Some harsh critics of Nank here. Round 1 he had a poor first half but was very good in the second where he was instrumental in getting us back in the game.
Last week he was dominate..
Last night he still ended up with 20 touches and effectively was playing like a midfielder.
Our midfield set up was the issue last night. I lost count on how many times that got an easy exit out of the centre. Our midfield was also getting sucked into the contest allowing them to have one spare out the back which allowed them easy exits.

I was going to post the same on the Speed thread SA.
Our set up at the stoppages was terrible last night., we had the balance wrong. As soon as the ball got to the outside the Pies were dominant, which ironically was our strength but with the departure of Lambert and Edwards we now have an issue.
t meant that we looked slow as well as they were able to explode from the stoppage and get the ball behind our defenders, which makes life for them very difficult.
Its our main issue at the moment, and I suspect if we can't fix it we may be a middling side. If we sort it out though, I suspect we will be very difficult to beat.
You could have Weightman, Coughlan, Free, Martin, Maxfield & Knights in the middle, Nakas wouldn't get the ball to them. His taps are useless. We need ruckman badly
He puts ruckman on the verge of delisting back into form.
Tim English wasn't mentioned against Melbourne or Stkilda but I had him close to BOG yesterday.
We need to provide best available support for Nank
Miller or Delilah must play We can’t have Nank & Marlion rucking games as teams have all gone tall
Nank is only 28 if he doesn’t get support he’ll end up like Maric not able to jump or have any influence around the ground

Averaging a career high in HOs & clearances. I don't think Nank is the issue. The mids around him are.
Agree - can’t get to defensive contests - is really labouring around the ground.
English also became like a fourth midfielder at centre clearance last night - that’s how rucks are going & we’re being left behind.
He is useless in the ruck.
You couldve said that last year we were paper thin at the centre with only Prestia but what's the excuse this year??
He hits to no one. We need a bloke that hits to advantage not to our feet.
Hardwick needs to try Miller or Biggie.
English won't touch the ball next week.
Samson is a better tap ruckman than Nank .
I reckon Nank is feeling five years of rucking 85% of games for the past five years.
He will go the same way as Ivan if we don’t get him help.
