The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[kruddler]

For bloke that doesn't like to give interviews (Sorry, BT I get nervous) Pitto did pretty well on the Sunday footy show today.
A lot of it was party line stuff, but he was confident, articulate and even a little funny.

He did an interview for the News a couple months ago and was the same.

I think he just doesn't want anything to do with BT.....and understandably so.

I'm really struggling to see where he'll get Brownlow votes in his career. It's okay. It happens. There have been players who have had a long career with almost none of them. I mention the Brownlow, as he got a vote from me in the JP medal voting tally for his role on Gawn last night.
He's an old-school type of ruck, he specialises largely in the tap-out department and getting it down to our midfielders first. Can't fault him on that.
Credit where credit is very due, he was outstanding against an elite and arguably ATG ruck in limiting him around the ground with his defensive running. Took a telling mark, against Gawn's own kick, deep in defence. He's had a tremendous finals series, the miss in the dead rubber against GWS may have left him with some sort of fitness to move around a bit more. The only thing he's missed, twice in the last two matches, are holding on to his marks in the F50. He hasn't scored a goal in three years and those are ones he's missed out on to finally give himself a chance for a six-pointer.

Gave him a vote too as he played an important role vs Gawn as you said and as Geelong showed last season you don't need superstar rucks to win a flag.
