WESTERN Bulldogs ruckman Will Minson says his traditional ruck style still has a place in the game despite the emergence of fleet-footed Bulldog Jordan Roughead and West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui.
Minson, who shone for Williamstown yesterday, was dropped by the Bulldogs two weeks ago, giving the impressive Roughead an opportunity to relish the big stage as back-up ruck to Ben Hudson.
But the Bulldogs face a tough decision - whether to recall Minson for Friday night's clash against Melbourne.
"I don't think there is a Nic Naitanui type. I don't think I necessarily have to change my game too much … I'm back here [at Williamstown] working on a few things around the ground … Nic Naitanui is his own player. There's not too many ruckmen like him," Minson said.
Minson had a dominant game in the ruck against Port Melbourne's David Fanning and was used as "an extra midfielder".
