The big fella has had 18 months to get over his niggles and IF refreshed could ruck 50/50 with DeKonning and allow DeKonning to return to the dangerous (looking…) forward role from early in the year.
If Pitto was fit and Mirkov was more advanced we wouldn’t consider the move, but for a 6 month contract is there really a downside ?
Is there a state league ruck who you’re confident would deliver more ?
If I was taking a second pick I would take Blake Schlensog aged 21 from Sth Fremantle can play KP back and forward@199cm and 100kg.
I'd prefer to play Mirkov with TDK and run Ramsden in the twos with the future in mind and I am looking much further ahead as I dont see us just yet as GF material but I'd like to build my ruck division with what I see as quality while I can get it. ie Ramsden
I look at Darcy, Draper, Reeves etc and see how they have developed with opportunity and I see Mirkov improving each week and would prefer to see him get game time than bring Kreuzer back. His job is coaching now and if he wants to play he can run around in the VFL and train my young group of ruckman.
