The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[PaulP]

Something doesn't add up. The players in this conversation are Pittonet, De Koning, Jack Silvagni, and arguably Lewis Young. Pittonet signed a four year deal, De Koning has a contract in front of him from us, as well as suitors such as Geelong, Sydney and St Kilda, all offering what is supposedly good money. If he's not that great, then why the interest ? Have Stephen Wells and Kinnear Beatson suddenly lost their mojo ? If Jack Silvagni or Lewis Young can do as good or a better job, then why are we and other clubs even bothering with De Koning ?
