AFL Rd 5 2023 In Game Angst Carlton vs Adelaide

[kruddler]

SOS battles manfully in the ruck, but he’s only there as a necessity, not as a desirable option that helps us win games of footy. He’s better off being deployed elsewhere.

You could say the same about TDK....except he offers us less elsewhere. (He takes one hangar every 3 weeks, which looks good, but does it REALLY make a difference?)

If Jack plays 20% game time in the ruck, and the end result is a 'draw' in the ruck. I'll take that.
He'll play 70% game time where we need him, doing what we want him to do.
10% on the bench and thats sustainable.

We don't NEED 2 'full time' rucks playing in the team at once.
