I think Adelaide will look seriously at the two ruck combo with Lowden providing a forward target and ruck relief. With Talia bound up* in defence, he won't be able to play that third man up role, so will need more height around him. Enter Jacobs/Lowden.
Yeah 2 rucks is an option, i think there was an article a while back on the 2 ruckman set up coming back into the game. so could well happen.
While betts is in the side Charlie will have a bit of room to move but understand what you are saying. In the end if he kicks a goal a game but has 10 inside 50 pressure acts and a goal assist then he probably does his job as that second small FWD.
This team defence tactic which keeps getting talked about may very well change our structure and personnel. It may as I think you ve pointed out boon put pressure on Thommo with his 2 way running and lack of pace.
