You could say the same about TDK....except he offers us less elsewhere. (He takes one hangar every 3 weeks, which looks good, but does it REALLY make a difference?)

If Jack plays 20% game time in the ruck, and the end result is a 'draw' in the ruck. I'll take that.
He'll play 70% game time where we need him, doing what we want him to do.
10% on the bench and thats sustainable.

We don't NEED 2 'full time' rucks playing in the team at once.

SOS battles manfully in the ruck, but he’s only there as a necessity, not as a desirable option that helps us win games of footy. He’s better off being deployed elsewhere.

Plowman gets smashed all the time but the same people here keep supporting this myth that he's not that bad. He is hopeless.

Jack gets smashed in the ruck.
 Wtf are you watching?

What is more important?
Hitouts or clearances?

Hitouts mean SFA unless they are to advantage.
80% of hitouts go to a 50-50 contest.
If Jack competing gives us a hitout that goes to a 50-50 contest (even if it comes off the hand of the opposition) then its a battle of our midfield vs theirs.

Forget about watching the hitout, watch the clearance.

I've just watched 2 ruck contests with Jack. He lost both hitouts.
Cripps got the clearance in one.
Jack got it in the other.

Yes, 'smashed' in the ruck contest, but in both cases, we wont the clearance which is all that matters.
His 'competing' in the ruck is all we need. We don't need him to win it, just compete.

As i say that, he won the hitout, to advantage and we got another clearance.

I have watched the entire game. Smashedin the ruck and clearances.
