We know Jolly is a gun, but given his age, could break down at the wrong time.
Read reports Wood hasn't been lighting up anything in the twos, but we are getting belted by 100 points. I thought he's been solid when he's played in the senior and signs of improvement.
Anyway seen Ceglar and Witts lately ? I know big men take time to mature, but thought bucks might give them a game this year, ie vs GWS .. |

I am going to get on GWS on the margin spread then. It is 90 points.
Wood plays lots better in the 1s than the 2s.
and it might switch hs VBF on as well.
Travis might apreciate his mate in the team. |

I LOL'd.
First, Wood only plays against the junk opposition, 50% of his games in the seniors this year that make up those "impressive numbers" were against 1st year players who had played 1 game and 3 games of AFL respectively. Suprise suprise, Wood is picked to play against GWS.
Second, despite Wood only playing against junk teams, Jolly still averages 7 more hitouts per game.
How exactly do his numbers blow him away? Because Wood got 22 touches against Gold Coast playing on a 1st gamer?
Wood is garbage, please delist him at the end of the year.
If Jolly is done we should look for another older ruckman ala Hudson at the Lions this year while Witts develops. |

Jolly can't get off the ground, he's not the player he was, and at his age it doesn't get better each week.. hence the rest
As for Wood he was more than servicable last year in the seniors, in fact I thought early that was the best the team had played, more than handy as a back up and his numbers are what they are against other AFL players

| Wood or Jolly - What difference does it make? Not a lot these days in my opinion. Wood played okay against Adelaide on our last trip I thought. |

last week twice i noticed Jolly did his signature tap, over the back of the head to Swan.
The trouble with that is the oppostion have read that book.
We need something from rucks. If it's Jolly, Woods or who-ever, we need to lift our ruck stocks, or the Squawks and louses will do us evey time. |
