The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[PaulP]

I think with B grade, blue collar ruckmen like Cameron or Pittonet, you really want the basics - give your mids first use as much as possible, take a few relieving marks, lay a tackle or two, throw your weight around and just make your presence known. They are not extractors, nor distributors, nor athletic beasts, nor goal kickers or anything else. If they kick the odd goal, or do something great in defence once in a while, it's a bonus, but these things don't happen often, and for good reason. I think given their roles and abilities, Cameron and Pittonet pretty much cancel each other out, and I don't think it's worth worrying about an extra handball here and there,  one more or less contested possession etc.

If we're going next level and talking about the Gawn / Grundy types, well that's a whole other discussion IMO.
