This game will show whether ruckmen are important or not.
2 genuine rucks against none.
Go blues!
Yep.
Asks a lot from our mids.
And they have been hunting rather than hunted and our boys are up to that game from what Ive seen last 2 weeks against Witts Casboult Reeves & Meek
What it says to me, if we continue to succeed without our rucks, is that TDK and Pitto don't really give us what we want from rucks.
If you don’t want what Pittonet brings as a ruckman, then you don’t want a ruckman.

Champion Data’s Daniel Hoyne has revealed that the difference between the pair in the ruck is one of the biggest on record between two ruckmen at the same club in recent memory.
“It’s an interesting debate for the Blues with what they do with the two rucks. When Marc Pittonet attends a ruck contest, Carlton wins the clearance seven per cent more than their opposition – a really good return,” Hoyne told SEN’s Sportsday.
“When Tom De Koning attends a ruck contest, they lose the clearance seven per cent more often than their opposition.
“That’s a gap of 14 per cent between the two rucks and the second biggest gap on the record between one ruck to the second ruck within a club over our time.
End of story.
lol ... it's not the end of the story. around the ground tdk has a much bigger impact and influence on the game. meanwhile you wouldn't even know pittonet is out there. he's invisible.
can't run, can't mark, can't read the play and get ahead of it.
other than tapping it at stoppages, pittonet might be the worst ruck in the comp for all the other things.
baffling we gave him 4 more years. it musta been dirt cheap.
100%. Dont know what anyone sees In Pitto let alone give him 4 years. I dont even know he is playing unless i see him in the ruck.
TDK is much more present in game. Not the best in ruckwork but is young enough to work on it with him.
We need to recruit an experienced ruckman and have TDK in tandem.
But we are stuck with Pitto now unfortunately and could lose TDK.
