As many people here pointed out during the trade period it was a highly flawed logic that didn't replace Bruce and put faith an often injured Martin. We were using Lewis Young as the ruckman in the latter part of last season and didn't replace him when he departed. He seems to be doing OK at Carlton in his more natural position
O'Brien replaced Wood which was a good move.
I don't understand the logic here. You're conflating one job in the football department with another and it doesn't stack up.

There seems to be this feeling that even though we've seen our coach actually state we would like more depth in the ruck and KPPs and that we have had to make do with what we have that it's his fault we don't have those things.

If it's the coach's job to ensure we have that depth then we have a problem. If we don't think it's the list manager's job to ensure we have that depth we have a problem. If these are our problems and they're not being resolved then we have a director of football problem.
