I feel like this topic deserves it own thread for the dogs as it seems to be an evolving beast every week.
In the first 4 weeks we have seen the following structures:
Rd 1 - Minson with Boyd (and sometimes Redpath) supporting
Rd 2 - Minson with Ayce supporting
Rd 3 - Minson with Ayce and Boyd supporting
Rd 4 - Ayce with Roughead and rarely Boyd supporting
Ayce was okay tonight, better than previously but was comprehensively beaten (albeit by a VERY good opposition in Jacobs).
I feel our team overall worked better today, not sure this is fully attributable to the change in ruck structure though.
I personally like having Roughead support as it allows us to leave Toyd forward and not compromise forward structure. No against throwing Toyd in if he isn't getting his hands on the pill though.
Roughead in support is only an option though if the teams 2nd KPF is their back up ruckman, otherwise Roughead would need to stay back.
So 2 questions, what do we do next week and what does everything think is our best structure for the rest of the year and into the future. Do we have a best structure, or does it need to change week to week depending on the opposition?
