Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 7: Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[Baggers]

Agreed Kruddler....said the same thing myself in another post about the lack of planning in terms of ruckmen. Pittonet was recruited purely as backup for Kreuzer and a young TDK who was developing. Kreuzer went down in Round 1 last year, while TDK was injured, and since then Pittonet has been numero uno!!!

I agree Casboult's form has been pretty ordinary YTD but who else do we have as a backup ruckman or key forward? I thought his game against Port Adelaide was pretty good.

And if anyone suggests we pull Jones or McKay out of their positions to play in the ruck for short bursts as backup for Pittonet, you're crazy! It's not like we're flushed for blokes in their positions either....not to mention the risk of injury.

McGovern is an option for b/u ruck work, has done it before and it would get him involved in the game plus his mobility is a plus. That would mean we can give the out of form Casboult a rest and bring in a more mobile forward, especially for the big spaces of the G.
