Not going near him in the real thing, but finding good value in Big Will in draft leagues

Who even is the dogs secondary ruckman?
The thing I like about Wilba is he will do 90% of the ruck work

I think it is Tom Campbell but they had Tom Boyd running through there in the pre-season as someone to spell Minson.

Tom Boyd was spending time in Ruck in the first 2 NAB games to help get his fitness up - at best he might pinch hit in there as might Redpath or Roughy.

Ayce Cordy is a chance to play as a Fwd/Ruck - if he is named Rd1 I would avoid big Will as this will likely mean Will's time in Ruck is reduced.
He is one of 5 or 6 players fighting for the last 2 or 3 spots.

Campbell is the next #1 Ruck behind Will.  He did have off season shoulder surgery and has taken a bit of time to get back to full training. He did spend a lot of time training with Steve Motram so his fitness base should be ok.
He is likely to play in VFL game this weekend to push his claims.

While Big Will can match it in the Ruck with the best of them, his has a lot less impact around the ground than the other tops rucks.
