He will give Libba and Bont first use all night.
Pittonet vs English - STAT
83 - 85 - Ruck contests
48 - 30 - Hitouts
18 - 6 - Hitouts to advantage
22% - 7% - Ruck contest - hitout to advantage %
Pittonet was 3 times more likely to get the ball to a teammate from the ruck contest than 'AA' English that 'will give Libba and Bont first use all night'.
Pittonet also got 5 clearances to English 1.
He is dominating the ruck each week, and people still do not see it. He did all the above, and still only played 78% game time to English 86%

According to the AFL website, Pittonet took zero marks. Whilst I have no skin in this game, we may as well get the numbers right.

Alas, English got a couple of taps in the last few minutes that were crucial. But on the night, Pitto gave him a bath!

English usually take a lot of marks around the ground, last night he took only 2 and they were not pack marks.
English got a few more possessions that Pitto did, but he provided no clearances were worrying about. Pitto did his best: his clearances weren't that great; he was under pressure, but he got them. Pitto was one of our most effective players.

Pittonet was one of our better players and one of the few who won his position imho.
Cox is slaughtering the Giants rucks and marking everything, we may need the extra ruck this week...

2 years ago, when there was some chance he was getting booted by the Pies, I thought we should look at him as a Ruckman. Many didn't like my idea. Pies played him basically forward. Who'd have thought a 7ft player was more suited in the ruck. He can ruck pretty well but take a mark around the ground and obviously can kick a goal resting forward,

He might not be the most skilled artisan but he is competent now and very hard to dominate against given his size. For next to nothing money wise he is value and would have been handy.
