Horses for courses in the ruck, some weeks you need two specialists, other weeks just one and a part timer.
Wouldn't mess with Young as a ruckman and just leave him down back.
Not sure why we have this obsession of trying to turn players into something else when they are succeeding very well in their original position especially given KP backs are like gold and hard to find.
Pittonet and Mirkov would be two stiffs playing together imo....neither have an impact anywhere else other than the ruck and we would become less mobile and have less options. Pittonet and TDK would be my ideal pairing when we need two ruckman and I'd be preferencing TDK as my No 1 when we use the solo option.
Ruckman as Geelong showed don't have to be high quality big contract players so if TDK gets offered megabucks I'd let him go and use the trade scenario to fix other list problems and look around for another ruckman like Bryan who is stuck behind Draper at Essendon.
You don't pay ruckman big dollars imho and as Stanley of Geelong showed you just need a athletic competitor who can run around the ground and work in combo with a swingman like Blicavs and give you options.
