AFL Rd 2 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong

[kruddler]

Jack’s role was tall forward, not ruck.  Compare him with Charlie and Harry, not Pitto and Tom.

I wouldn’t be dropping him.  Our forward line worked better when he was playing.

Silvagni also missed the last quarter...so his stats would have been better.
I just feel watching him that he's a bit out of sorts.
His touch seems a bit off and he's missing marks he normally takes.
I don't know whether he was injured, if he was subbed off without injury that's probably a bit of an indicator he's on the fringe.
Pittonet needs game time more than anything else at the moment.

I have TOG there and he actually spent more time on the ground than Pittonet.

The reason i stacked him up against TDK + Pittonet is because everybody is raving about how well our 2 rucks did, and (some) people are calling for Jack to be dropped off the back of that effort.

Sure, stats aren't everything but but its seems they offered very similar output (all 3) and i'm not sure you could isolate 1 over another.

FWIW, Jack had team high 2 marks on lead
Jack had team high 2 goal assists
Team high tackles inside 50.

To go with 0.2, so far from the worse on the ground.
