Everyone is on the Hawks bandwagon but I noted they too are running with one specialist ruck and a ruckrover (old terminology I know) in Nash. Interesting aspect of Nash is he classed as a midfielder but is 198cm/94kg which makes him a very big mid.
He plays like a mid who isnt a specialist ruck and had six hitouts, 8 clearances,8 Score involvements, 29 disposals and 400 plus metres gained.....
Imo he was a very influential player and having that extra midfielder around the ball was a win and again showed why one specialist ruckman only in the modern game is the preferred option by many clubs now and why developing other pinch hit ruckman is time well spent.
