The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[madbluboy]

re: Darcy.....form has declined since Jacksons arrival, was better when he had Lobb who was more of a 75/25 Forward in the main.
Jackson has really fecked up Freo and its shows how bringing in high paid players to positions you already have covered can ruin your game plan and method.
Tim English on the other hand has had a blinder of a year....doesnt have to play forward much like he did last year and now enter Lobb who has allowed him to ruck most of the game.
The strange aspect is that Lobb as a ruckman is a spud who would struggle against most other rucks but his role is just to give the main ruckman a short rest each quarter and then go forward where he probably does his best work.
Finding that specialist Forward/Ruck is the key imho.......for mine TDK is more of a ruckman than a forward and we dont still have the right mix.

Freo Contested possession differential

With Darcy: +14.4
Without Darcy: -17.7
