It didn't worry Freo against Gawn last round and it hasn't been a problem for Essendon this season.
I think that it comes down in part to the opposition but mainly how the two rucks are utilised. If we can get the best out of Pitto and Tom (as against Melbourne and GWS), play both of them. If one or both aren't contributing (as against the Swans), play one. But how do you predict that?
I've heard both Tom and Pitto talk about how well they work together and how whoever is playing better gets to do the lion's share, but I'm not entirely sure that works all the time. If we're playing both, we need to have plans for several scenarios.
