Are we any closer to a 2nd Ruck option??

[Derryn23]

After the intraclub on Wednesday it has just confused the general public on whether Horse has plans for a fulltime 2nd ruck option. With the interchange cap this could spell either more or less minutes for ruckmen in general. Obviously we wouldn't want a resting ruckman spending too much time in the fwd 50. Tippett, Goodes & Buddy makes it a little tight as is... Last season we didn't really ever get a glimpse of Reid, Goodes, Tippett all playing at the same time.

I've been a fan of Nankervis since he was drafted. The recruiters say he could be the Grundy of 2014 as he is a year ahead of others in his draft (like Grundy was the previous year).

Thoughts?

I think the ruckwork will usually be around 85/15 or 80/20 Pyke to Tippett and the "2nd ruck" spot will be used for a more utility or midfield player.

Of course that doesn't account for injuries, so players like Derickx might get a go but its hard to see

Yeah, exactly this.

Gees Nankervis looks promising though. He'll be our next #1 once Pyke's too old.
