This is where luck comes into it.
If we list the issues that have been discussed at length in this thread and others;
- Injury to a solo ruck issue is one.
- Offering KPP backup / flexibility.
- Surrendering momentum to strong opposition rucks.
- Season long viability. (That one is mental and physical)
- Overloading already heavily loaded players like Cripps or Harry. (Risk of injury and freshness.)
- Wasting valuable premium AFL resources (Like wedging a Coleman or Brownlow Medallist into a B-Grade ruck role.)
- Flexible team tactics.
