We have to play Pitto surely. Geelong are ridiculously strong in the ruck. We can't have TDK try to do it all against 4 Cats ruck options.
Why?? Geelong rucks got their pants pulled down by the Collingwood rucks. Partnered with ex-Saints ruck "Sometimes" Stanley, the monster wingman Blicavs got 5 hitouts. The other two ruckman of your four were Hawkins (4 ho) and Noone (0 ho). Of the nine winners last week (if you include us as a winner) only two teams won the ruck and some of the others got flogged.
I don't know why everyone wants PItto back. Don't you think the team's slow enough? I suppose he could come in for Martin but they may wait until some of our runners are back.
Pitto crashes into opposing ruckman to halve the contest or to advantage. When Pitto plays our contested game works. Pitto suits our system. TDK tries to win the tap every time, and withbthat went our contested possession dominance.
I like. Both rucks in. They compliment each other, plus I’m in the 2 rucks camp and always will be. TDK forward stretches Cats backline already missing Stewart and Henry it will force Blicavs to play back instead of tagging Cripps out of the game like last game.
