Alex Mirkov
Hudson O’Keeffe
Jack Silvagni
Marc Pittonet
Tom De Koning
Overview : Five players yet nothing of real substance presently. De Koning is an out of control wrecking ball, Pittonet is VFL standard only, O’Keeffe & Mirkov having learner plates on and Silvagni is a ‘hail mary’ at best.
Recommendation : the Silvagni experiment has run its course and there is no other real place on the field for him given he is slow, his kicking for goal is 50/50 and he is prone to making costly errors, trade him the Saints so he can be with his Dad (don’t care about “heart & soul”, means nothing if you can do the basics). Work hard to fast-track the development of Mirkov & O’Keeffe so they can hopefully graduate sooner & trade TDK whilst he still has maximum trade value.
The hope is Markov can do a Mason Cox and move on from being a lampost and give us something like the big American.
I dont mind Pittonet and reckon he has been ok, he competes well at stoppages and while he wont ever be a major threat around the ground or up forward he is still our best bet as No 1 ruckman unless Mirkov emerges and becomes a player.
Id be more inclined to experiment with Young in the ruck rather than JSOS and felt he would have matched up better with Cameron in those 2nd ruck battles.
