    What if he plays 50/50 ruck/forward or a year or two before becoming a 90% forward?

    I know they can supposedly be found everywhere, but in my biased opinion ruck is a tough position to play from a preparation point of view - the combination of strength and endurance is extreme, and will get Boyd's repeat effort capacity right up which is a huge issue for him right now as a forward.

    Re: Tom Boyd/Jordan Roughead ruck combo

    I liked Campbells ruck work and contest around the ground vs Essendon.
    Maybe he's our number 1. With Roughhead up at CHF.
    Don't like to have our million dollar man competing in the ruck and maybe Will has had better days....

    Not sure we can have 3 talls....maybe depends on opposition?

    Jury is still out on Tom. Didn't dominate Giles and took one strong grab that I can remember. If he starts taking more marks then he's a keeper but I'm not convinced. It seems that very little pressure needs to be applied to stop him marking the ball.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Giles had the better of Tom in the ruck and around the ground.

    I thought Tom was OK and contested in the air when he needed to. It wasn't a standout game, but he was a solid contributor IMO.
