AFL Rd 2 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

[kruddler]

Absolutely!

Richmond got away with Grigg in the ruck until opposition coaches worked out how to exploit his lack of size.

The worst aspect of using Jack as a pinch hitting ruckman is that it impacts his work as a forward and makes it harder for our other forwards.

Got worked out real well.....after they won a flag with the tactic.

I'll take that.

People fixate on the difference in output between Jack and a genuine 2nd ruck, but they are completely ignoring the fact that we get an extra midfielder as part of that balancing act.
That (lack of) an extra midfielder against the cats almost cost us the game.
