It's a combination of LM and overall footy strategy. What seems the primary driver is not unbalancing the 2s by having a developing ruck. The first backup needs as much work as possible to maintain the highest match fitness they can. What we saw last year is that they shouldn't really get any chop out, they should be fit enough to ruck all game at SANFL level. You're right though, each year we go into trade/draft without a developing ruck, Nicks wouldn't care even if he could influence the decision, dividends won't be paid for 5 years and he's all about the now.
I cant imagine Nicks would be overly comfortable with having ROB, whos been dropped the last 2 season and Strachan as his rucks.

Ive no doubt we WANT to use RT in there more but hes far more valuable elsewhere.
 
Roo is chairperson, Nicks, Kelly and Reid are the football aspect and Silvers is there as well. The peanut ex-CFO used to sit on it too, but the replacement looks like he doesn't. Commonsense prevails finally.
Crikey imagine Kelly’s input.

“You’ve been quiet Adam, what do you think?”
“I agree with what you all think”

Not LTI, that only mattered when moving a player up from the rookie list back in the day. To add anyone we need to pu someone on the inactive list which finishes them up for the entire season. Which could happen with Strachan if he suffers an early setback when he resumes running in Feb.
No doubt just after the spp period closes and we have to wait to mid season draft (and we don’t add a ruck)

That is my fear in this, with Tex staying another year, they can see an option of just moving Thilly into ruck and still having a forward line. Thilly into ruck, bring Murph into the side as his replacement

I dont think they will, even if Tex is there.

What they do with those 2 will have no bearing on what they do with Murphy

I think we need to start a thread that every time someone mentions Murphy it accumulates points,once you reach a certain amount of points you receive a ban😡
