Kruezer surely has to be the ruckman just ahead of Jacobs.
Had a very consistent and injury free year for him.

You must remember it's voted by the same people that have never had Clarkson coach of the year.

I was absolutely staggered when I heard that.

IIRC didn't Hinkley win it in 2014 even though Hawthorn were premiers?

That's just crazy.

Ryder over Jacobs as 2nd ruckman?
I thought Jacobs convincingly beat him both times they played which should add weight?

Oh please.
Next you'll say Ryder should be the AA ruckman.

Rampe is better than Hibberd and Howe.

I would love to see them name 2 ruckmen one season - all three rucks nominated would be worthy this season. They have had seasons where they have named guys on the half forward who never play there because they "had" to get in, why not the same for a ruckman.

Yes he is but missing so many games early on has hurt him.
Hibberd has been very good this year, wish he had stayed with us

Reckon the Bont got in purely due to hype. He was largely ordinary this year from what I saw.

How does Bont, Selwood and Treloar get a nom but Duncan doesn't?
