All Australian side

There simply MUST be a second ruck option. Even if it is a ruck/forward, they need to be in there. Even if it is Marlion Pickett. Someone has to be in the side.

Both sides are missing one, rucks are always forgotten about in these kinds of sides. I generally ignore all of these sides.

What I don't like is they try and fit in all the good players and use positions to do that, even though they never play there.

eg. Macrae on a wing - hardly ever plays that role.

I think with the mids - they kind of have to.

There's only 3 plus a ruckman to be picked inside the middle. Of Bont, Macrae, Petracca, Oliver, Parish, Merrett, Mundy, Martin, Sam Walsh, Libba etc etc....you can't conceivably leave many or any of them out - so they get pushed to wings, bench or sometimes half forward. We would feel Jacko is pretty hard done by if he missed AA selection because he doesn't technically play on the wing often or at all.

Agree it's not straight forward. If you were picking a real side would you opt for Macrae out of position on the wing, or say Ed Langdon who plays wing but is a far lesser player than Jack? I would stick with Jack.
