The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[kruddler]

We don't want meaningless D-Grade stats and rubbery game day solutions that work against muppets sold to us as some sort of ruck revolution, we want a strong combination and tactics that counter dynamic duo's like Gawn/Grundy or Darcy/Jackson.

You're a muppet.

Raging against the machine.
Sticking it to the man.
Doing all of the things, without any actual direction.

If you read what i wrote, i said that we got dominated in the ruck and it meant little, because the Hawks rucks were trash.

I pointing out all your protesting about 'bogus stats', spin and deflection were disproved by what occured with the stats from that game. Namely, midfield has a bearing over HTA of the rucks and '2nd string mids with 2nd string ruck theory'. Young proved both are in your head.

It also proved that you don't need a dominant ruck (or 2) when your midfield is so good at getting clearances because the HTA was not in our favour, but clearances were. So the theory that you MUST have 2 genuine rucks to compete and win clearances is also debunked.

But of course, its not about HTA, its about around the ground work. To which Jack excelled today (together with his superior ruckwork, from less opportunities) shows why he is the favoured backup ruck option by the club - not just by me.

Does that mean Jack should be #1 ruck? Of course not.
Does that mean TDK shouldn't be developed to be more useful around the ground? Of course not.
But as it stands, Jack simply offers more, despite all his physical limitations by comparison to TDK.

You said it yourself, its about output.
