Yze is open to playing two ruckmen in the same 23 this year, but with key defender Noah Balta being transformed into a key forward over the summer and All-Australian forward Tom Lynch on the cusp of returning, the first-year coach is wary of not picking a team that is too tall.

"The big discussion will be when Lynch is available and how big we go. Then we have the opportunity to play Noah as the second ruck," Yze said.

"I do like the model of playing big boys forward. It is a contest game, you go down the line a lot, so you need some big boys to create a contest."
