Because you don't want Wood to miss out on Gametime as at the moment he is our 2nd Ruckman behind Jolly. Though I don't know for how long :wink:

yea i know he is our 2nd ruck behind jolly. but with 3 rucks in vfl tarks wont know what to do, coz the combination of witts and ceglar has been working. will he be playing ceglar mainly forward. wood no doubt will ruck for most of the game

^ I'm more concerned by the fact that, once again, we haven't named a 23rd player to offset the presence of an extra ruckman. You can get away with 2 primary rucks if you have a 4-man bench, but you can't carry 3 ruckmen that way. Thus, exploiting the rule to play a 5-man bench is one way to offset the top-heavyness.

Is there a reason why the club has an aversion to the 23rd man rule? If we're playing all of Witts, Ceglar, Wood as rucks, with Gault and Shae as KPPs, plus Tarrant for match practice and Boland for forward line marking power, where is the mobility going to come from? Dumb move from the selection committee.

Every other club uses the 23rd man rule, why don't we? You can't play 3 ruckmen without an extra runner on the bench.

Team is now in the OP, by the way.

if ceglar just plays forward it could work.

also remember that there is no paine (injured). but my main concern is with the 3 ruckmen. tarks will no doubt have 3 all in ruck at some stage. if i was tarks, i would play witts and wood in ruck all day, have ceglar as the forward (tall forward) and tell him to stay in the 50 metre line. he plays well up forward

^ Indeed, it could work, if played EXACTLY as you suggest.

But for me, I'm concerned about the lack of a 5th rotation and the effect on our players (Tarrant will be in and out in bursts, so that effectively means we are playing with 3 live rotations on the bench if we only play 22 men).

Paine out is a blow, because we are now robbed of his contested marking ability.

Were I making selections, I would pick a bench of Ferraro, Wallace, S. Williams and Boland. Hahn out from last week.

But the big question is: will Cameron Wood have the stones to take on Shinners?

Intresting Point with no 23rd Man.

^ You can also play someone from your VFL list who is in their 1st year as a 23rd man. Guys like Hellier, S. Williams, Wallace.
