The odd-couple ruck pairing of Jordan Roughead and Tom Boyd have become the Western Bulldogs most irreplaceable AFL players.The Bulldogs sit seventh on the ladder after an upset win over North Melbourne, having continued to show admirable depth in a luckless season.Coach Luke Beveridge has been forced to make countless changes to his team this year, with captain Bob Murphy headlining a list of injured stars.On every occasion, Beveridge has found someone capable of stepping up.But the second-year coach conceded on Tuesday that would be very tricky if Roughead or Boyd were to suffer a setback.We havent got many talls left, Beveridge said ahead of Friday nights clash with Collingwood.Weve got Kieran Collins who is out for the rest of the year. Marcus Adams is still yet to come back.Hopefully, we maintain our health from here on in ... but thats one area wed want to have some luck.We cant really afford to lose too many of our bigs at the moment ... we need to continue to have an aerial contest in our forward line.Will Minson has played just one game this year, with Beveridge noting form will dictate whether the veteran earns a call-up in the final three rounds of the season.Minson is a former All--Australian ruckman but doesnt offer anywhere near as much versatility as Roughead and Boyd.ddddddddddddBeveridge was full of praise for the way key defender Roughead and crucial forward Boyd had adapted this year to their ruck responsibilities.Weve been so enthused by what Roughy has done in the ruck, he said.If hed been our only ruck and pinch hitting elsewhere, Im sure that his numbers would be comparable to some of the best rucks in the league.Boyd continues to attract all manner of scrutiny and criticism but Beveridge remains bullish about the former No.1 draft pick.You watch him jump at centre bounces ... I think weve all got to remember that hes not just a forward to us at the moment, Beveridge said.Hes a ruckman as well.As far as productivity on the scoreboard goes, thats not how were rating him.
