The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[ElwoodBlues1]

Just to recap, we have one of the best clearance players in the comp who was labelled the extractor.  You could ruck a crap ruckman to him, provided the ball hits him, and Cripps gets the clearance, then that's a tap to advantage correct?  Add Walsh, and im not sure it says much about any of our rucks capabilities over the last little while. 

I know what I see on game day, and against North, it was Goldstein monstoring us.  Against Adelaide it was O'Reilly. 

For all this debate going round in circles, our rucks dont dominate, they put in a respectable performance.

That goes for TDK, Pitto, or JSOS, but Pitto at this stage is the one that probably plays best on my subjective viewing of football. 

THERE< screw what the stats show.

Our rucks will never be dominating rucks like the best in the comp, we are looking for that Stanley/Blicavs type effort where they break even and try and be handy around the ball.
Frampton had nearly as many hitouts as Marshall last week but got slaughtered around the ground and I want more from TDK/Pitto around the ground than worrying too much about hitouts. We have a good midfield full of contested mids and Id like to think we can still win our fair share of ball even losing the ruck contests.
If Marshall gets 25 possies again this week then we will be up against it so its up to TDK and Pittonet to prevent that happening more than winning every ruck contest imo.
