I love SoJ as a true Bluebagger, but I fear that whatever direction we go in, TDK is already on a trajectory to pass SoJ bye as a viable 3rd forward as well as still being a premier ruck. Everybody could see this coming, only fans guarding their Favs have failed to admit it.
If I'm cold about it, I'd run rucks mostly off the bench and have Martin as the 3rd forward target well ahead of all other options.
I suspect Williams can cover Owies if they eventually go head to head, and I suspect Owies can probably cover Durdin, but Motlop has the potential to cover both Owies and Durdin. Right now Owies is Mr Reliable so he is something we desperately need.
Some of this is going to come about because Elijah Hollands has changed the Mid/Forward dynamic, I would be interesting to see what he can do alongside Martin or Motlop.
It's a long season, lots can change, but most of our AFL regulars list looks to be on the up.
