The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[kruddler]

"When Pittonet attends a ruck contest, Carlton wins the clearance seven per cent more often than their opposition. When De Koning attends a ruck contest, they lose the clearance seven per cent more often than their opposition."

- Daniel Hoyne 27/6/23

....and this ladies and gentlemen is how we get away with playing Jack as a backup ruck, because what he lacks in ruckwork (which isn't much compared to TDK) he makes up in clearances once the ball hits the deck.

I've been saying it for years, TDK does not give us enough. It hurts the team playing 2 genuine rucks.
