Interesting take from Hardwick on Tyrone.
He says his aerobic capacity is very poor. This is why they use Griff in the ruck. If they try Tyrone, he is buggered and can't run.
That is why he stays forward and Griff has to be the jack of all trades - forward, ruck/follower.
So he knows his limitations but because he kicks goals and provides a tall target, he gets a game.

Edit: McBean doesn't provide a good marking target at the moment. If he did he'd get a game. Hardwick says he plays too much like a small and lacks intensity.
What a crock of 5hi7!
As if a professional athlete after 6 preseason cannot ruck for 10minuts a quarter.
Not calling you out YBB as I believe this is what Dimma said, but it's hard to believe.
I don't think Vickery is very good in the ruck and that's more to do with development but to say he cannot play as a second ruckman because he is not fit enough is plain stupid.
I just wish he would keep his mouth shut for a while. He is making this club into a joke.
If he thinks we can still make the finals, just do it. But I'd prefer him to say, if we win enough games come seasons end, we are a chance. Everybody in the footy world with half a brain can see we are struggling. Him saying every 10 minutes are will still make the finals makes us all look stupid.
