They're also short-staffed in general, especially with the war on.
At the weekly paper I worked at, I was the News Editor, just one step down from the Managing Editor that ran the whole office we worked out of.
But guess who the main number got routed to after the receptionist left for a better job.

@g33k: That WoJ is here: http://wordof.jim-butcher.com/index.php/word-of-jim-woj-compilation/woj-on-magic-in-the-dresden-files-part-2/
(Ctrl+F "Ancient" will bring you right to it).
Mai is not a combat wizard. Neither is Rashid, by implication of an additional WoJ (later on that same page). The only real magical brawler on the SC seems to be Ebenezer; everyone else's power lies in Knowing Things (including where to stand when stuff is about to go boom, I assume).

I feel like Wizard Joseph "I Can Turn Into A Giant Bear And Kick A Skinwalker's Ass Up Between His Ears" Listens-to-Wind should also be counted among the brawler ranks.
Bad Alias:
I imagine that Senior Council wizards can "Kick Some Ass Up Between Some Ears" without being a brawler. Injun Joe, for example, might not have a lot of "combat" magic, but turning into a grizzly is going to win a lot of fights anyway. Additionally, his knowledge of genus loci was sufficient for the White Council to win the day, and that definitely wasn't "combat" magic. My point is that a lot can be useful in combat that has nothing to do with direct action.
Didn't find the one about the Gatekeeper, but he did manage to nearly take out Harry and his entire party in one shot in Turn Coat.
Kindler:
Yeah, Gatekeeper sent them all to sleep, right? Even more impressive since they were on a boat (surrounded by running water, basically). It wasn't very far, but still.
I label "brawlers" wizards who would win in a one-on-one magical slugfest against Harry. Luccio (at least Original Luccio), Morgan, Ebenezer, Gatekeeper, Cowl, and probably the Merlin would certainly kick Harry's ass. That doesn't mean the others wouldn't win, I just think they'd probably not do it by tossing fire around.
