In 2023 Levi's kick 5-2 from six(6) games, sprinkled with the usual set of complete misses, that's less effective than Motlop and Motlop is dead ordinary.
At the moment SoJ could play Motlop's role better if he wasn't burdened with frequently losing ruck contests.
I'm assuming if TDK isn't an in sometime over the next two weeks then it's because he wants out, although Cook thought we are still a good chance to retain him, he's needed.
I'd bring TDK in to rotate in the ruck with Pitto, kybosh Motlop for a some VFL development, bring SoJ into the crumbing marking target role for the F50, leave Owies and Durdin working as the SFs. Keep Charlie and BigH at least 25m apart whenever possible. We need one of our rucks floating forward, when SoJ rucks we lose too much contest in F50, Pitto is not big on pushing forward but he's quite useful dropping into the hole in D50 zones.
You can see that from this post I think our ruck and F50 issues go hand in hand, it's not coincidence both are currently suffering.
If Weiters or Gov feck up one or two disposals a game fans lambaste them without mercy, Pitto sends a large percentage of his clear taps directly to our opposition and seems to be free of criticism, we can call him teflon!
So do I assume those fans that think Pitto is mustard have determined Cripps, Cerra, Hewett, Kennedy and Walsh to be Mickey Mouse, otherwise how else to they explain the conclusion that our ruck work is OK from the outcome we have?

Maybe the AFL needs to ask for a new stat, RTC (Ruck Tap Clanger)
