AFL Rd 6 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs Fremantle

Absolutely, That's why I said it was as a 'second' ruck he's tracking OK.
I think he'll be an upgrade on a player like Levi

However the situation that faces us at present is that Pittonet will be a big loss...and unfortunately Mirkov isn't ready yet.
So in the meantime term it will fall on DeKoning.

Now the worry here is that there is a danger that players like DeKoning, Silvagni...even Young will be up against bigger units and the risk of injury is probably high.
We have a problem...mid-season draft perhaps, as a short term insurance.

The way Darcy hit Pitt was bone crunching even from a short run up. Buckley commented on it in the post game show, saying that it was a "skill" that had been perfected and refined over recent years.  It makes Ruck a very tough gig for skinny young ruckmen.
