It's not everyone's cup of tea, and typically when you get in the train and you're driving home, or you're coming home in the train, people don't typically talk about how good were the ruckmen, but these are two of the greats.

Gorn in particular, he's that traditional dominant ruck

He's also mixed in that as like, he's almost like their intercept key defender as well.

And he's a clearance midfielder as well, Max Gron.

I think he actually is leading Melbourne for clearances this year.

I know that a lot of them is grabbing it out of the ruck and slamming it forward.

But when he comes up against Darcy Cameron, he'll have a challenge because he's more of a sort of hybrid modern day mobile ruck, Darcy Cameron.

He applies great pressure at ground level, and he complements Collingwood's defensive system really well.

So when you compare the two, Gorn versus Cameron, Gorn generates a lot more territory.

He's more of a kicker than what Cameron is.

He's more of a handball chain, defensively disciplined more than what Gorn is.

But Gorn does push forward as well.

He can be a goal kicker, and he regularly wins the ball himself, and he's a really good decision maker with ball in hand.

But

Yeah, that's going to be an area of the ground I think actually could decide the game is which Ruckman has the biggest impact on this game.

They're two really obviously great Ruckman, but yeah, they both play different sort of styles and types.

So part of the ground that I'll be keeping an eye on.

All right.

After the Ruck duel, where else on the ground might the result be determined?

Yeah, well, I think I'm going to focus – this might decide the game – is Melbourne's forward line.
