But how do clubs get to that point & who do they use in the meantime ?
Hawks (before premierships) were making do with the likes of Simon Taylor, & Brett Renouf (once successful they brought in David Hale....& did very well out of him)
Cats had a long term ruck (King) who they'd had for years before they became a force (which is similar to us with Kruezer).
Collingwood bought in Jolly from Swans when they were looking like they were a chance, before 2010 they were using Wood & Leigh Brown !
Swans, luckily had Mumford as well.....they've done well with rucks over the years, they have.....ironically, so have Melbourne somehow ????
Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.
