The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[Thryleon]

We were playing well enough to beat anyone at that stage, and often did with half a side of injuries. Give Harry a run in the ruck. Running around the ground, doing what he likes will help his confidence.

Thing is this is something he is already half doing.  Against the bulldogs he got 10 marks, 2 of them were inside 50.  He is doing the around the ground marking for a ruck.

What I am trying to attempt is a bit of shock factor.  Harry out, might jag us a win where an opponent isnt expecting it.

TDK vs Pittonet means that we will change the centre contests enough to unsettle opposition who are expecting us to do one thing.  TDK also is more proficient as a forward than Pitto, and will likely be a harder match up around the ground.

The side effect is that Harry gets to go practise his set shock kicking in the VFL where he might learn a bit more about it in a game situation than simply watching his form suffer more and more, and our whole side to go with it.  It also sends a message that the VFL is a place our players can work on their form, and skills and then carry it back into the AFL.

The collingwood magic elixir isnt magic.  They use the VFL as a proving ground and the result is that players do their utmost to get into the ones and stay there.
