The leading team in the Comp the Swans play Grundy as their specialist ruckman and use Mclean in a dual role as KP Forward and backup ruck....the previous premiership team Collingwood used Cameron and Cox with the latter being in a dual role as KP Forward and 2nd ruckman.
The 2022 Flag winning Geelong team had Rhys Stanley as their specialist ruck and jack of all trades Mark Blicavs as their ruck backup so there is a successful precedence to playing one specialist ruck and a non specialist ruck dual purpose player as the backup ruckman.
TDK doesnt qualify as dual purpose Ruckman/KP Forward imho as his performances forward have been spasmodic and cameo at best..and imo playing him with Charlie and Harry together limits the latter two.
