I think Melbounre are pretty much the only team with 2 A grade ruckmen. Gawn has been there since he was a kid, and Grundy was traded in, with the Pies supposedly paying part of his wages, and Grundy also supposedly taking a pay cut.
I think Pittonet + DeKoning is as good a ruck combo as any apart from Melbourne. DeKoning is still raw, but he will be a player IMO. I want to keep him. Pittonet is a bit of a lumbering giant around the ground, but his ruck work is pretty good. If we could get a Sean Darcy type without breaking the bank, I'd be keen, but I'd be trading Pittonet, not De Koning. I don't think it's a good idea to tie up big chunks of the cap on ruckmen.
