Pitto generally stays behind the ball when we’re attacking and that must be his instructions. It would be nice if he clunked a mark inside 50 from time to time.
I really don’t think we need to change our goal kicking options all that much - if you’re scoring plenty of goals from centre clearances you can’t expect to score many from rebounds - but some additional contributors wouldn’t go astray.
The day Jack kicked 4 and was BOG and got 3 brownlow votes, he was yep, playing as a backup ruck.
People perceptions override the reality.
Jack
Games as ruck/backup ruck - 6
Goals while playing backup ruck -7
1.16 goals/game as a ruck/forward
Games with 2 rucks in the team (or 1 ruck and Young as backup) - 10*
Goals with 2 rucks in the team (or 1 ruck and Young as backup) - 8*
*Game vs Adelaide - SOJ was KPF, pitto got injured early in 1st quarter, Young/SOS played backup
0.8 goals/game as a pure forward
If we take out games against West Coast and North as they were just terrible and inflated averages.
1.2 goals/game as a ruck/forward
0.5 goals/game as a pure forward
So you may want to rethink your statement.
