The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[DJC]

Personally, I think it's quite wrong to think of this as 1st / 2nd ruck, it's old fashioned thinking.

Positions in modern football are more role based than having "a leader", no matter who does it they have to be capable in the role, and it's pointless trying to make some weird claim that TDK isn't capable relative to SoJ! :o

As I see in classic social media mnemonics the current situation looks like this for ruck options;
Pitto / TDK >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mirkov >>> SoJ / Young

Now in context of the above, most VFL watchers will tell you Mirkov isn't ready for AFL:!

Mirkov's heart condition takes him out of contention but I'd have Young level pegging with a healthy Mirkov, O'Keeffe next in line, followed by Lemmey with Jack bringing up the rear.
