If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhood
You might not need two ruckmen to play finals but you seem to need at least two reasonably competent ruckmen to win a grand final.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.
Sydney are playing it like this (I think)....Originally Posted by undy
Play two ruckman through the season, although only one at a time, "resting" or "nursing injuries" to have both fit for finals.
Superstar forward arent risked in the ruck during season.
Come finals primary ruckman chosen to lead ruck (Pike). Secondary utilitiy player as 2nd ruck (Reid), and pinch hitting by superstar forward (Tippet). Primary ruckman's load is balanced so ready for grand final.
Hope nobody at the Swans have informed Tom that there is no possible way for him to play finals
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
We're in big trouble.
I think you are confusing us with the Bombers.We're in big trouble.

I doubt he's under any illusions that his place in the team is lost if Tippet, Pike and Reid all play.Hope nobody at the Swans have informed Tom that there is no possible way for him to play finals
Lets not forget, he's the sort of player who would be happy just to play at AFL level, let alone finals.
I reckon at the end of the year he'll be traded for a fair amount to a club that needs a tall who can relieve in the ruck.
Or, maybe he's being intensively trained in the ruck at the moment and might 'pull a Pyke' by the end of the year....
Either way, he's certainly rejuvenated himself enough to quit his day job, so the info he's receiving must be good to some degree.

If Pyke, Nanka and Naismith finish the season in decent form I think Tom will be delisted. I think we might also look to add another ruckman with more upside to the list if he does get delisted.
Tom was always going to be a stop gap but the way he has acquitted himself is a credit to him at Taubert. Not sure what his deal is but if he is surplus to requirements and we can provide him with an opportunity and get some trade currency then all the better
I don't think he'll be delisted. Naismith and Nankervis may not be ready by then and if they are they will always need sufficient rucks for the magoos.
