Aren't there? Or designed not to be there.
Better to have a big ruck (or 2) forming the wall for a long kick on the way out, and get it in the hands of someone who can use it better if they do get it.
As i said, Geelong use the tactic and they have some of the fittest rucks in the game, yet they've been using Hawkins in the same role for years.
