AFL Rd 21 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda

[blueianh]

I'm not sure i get the hysteria around Pittonet this week.

We picked him when he clearly wasn't fit because we were down too many other soldiers.
Despite that, he still outperformed TDK who played he worst game for the year, if not 2 years.

Somehow, some raw kid is supposed to be an upgrade on both?

Yeah nah.

O'Keeffe is not an upgrade on either of them as a ruckman, but as a forward undoubtedly is better than Pitto even at his immature stage of development and on TDK's performance against Collingwood I would expect O'Keeffe could better that effort.  Meanwhile TDK has been very impressive in the ruck in Pitto's absence and is a much better option to go head to head with Marshall, whom I really rate.  The St Kilda backups are just part-timers and I reckon O'Keeffe could at least hold his own there and maybe even better.  Anyway, I get that O'Keeffe is a left-field suggestion and only a kid but I just think the match-ups align for it.
