AFL Rd 17 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS

[kruddler]

This is not about ruck [member=673]pertz[/member], it's about the structure of our bench and how we can provide backup for KPPs including rucks and our thin KPD stocks.

@Kruddler wants to make is specifically about Pitto because he can't let go of his earlier claims, and he largely ignores response like mine own or [member=105]Thryleon[/member] and then re-introduces Pitto. Even making absurd connections between selection and blokes like Ollie Hollands,  Fogarty or Owies, like if Pitto comes in we lose them all instantly into the universal void!

Kruddler will never stop, he's so conflicted he can't let it go, even when posting his own contradictions.

But that doesn't mean we can afford to leave the KPP issue, as it stands it's our greatest weakness.

Apologies, but this needs to be sorted out.

LP posts that he doesn't want to use the likes of Harry (or Charlie) or Cripps or Kennedy or risk any KPPs in the ruck because they are more likely to get injured.
LP posts that we need to have another KPP on the bench in case we do get an injury to one.
LP says he is NOT specifically talking about a ruck as KP cover, but he does state that he doesn't want KPPs to be in the ruck. If you don't have KPPs in the ruck then all that is left is other rucks.
LP insists that he is NOT talking about Pittonet though.
LP instead wants some kind of mystery player we don't have on our list to do that role.

LP doesn't post anything about this in the pre-game, or in the in-game thread when we are dominating.
Instead he makes himself out to be some oracle when we get injuries in the game.

I agree, its all about team balance.
My barrow that i've been pushing is that we do not need a 2nd ruck (for team balance).
However, we do need a #2 KPD.
That would allow Kemp and McGovern to play 'smaller' and IF an injury to a KPP crops up in the game, they are there to 'step up' and temporarily fill that role.

Anyone can fill in for a ruck on any given day should you get an injury. We've proven it can work when we've played zero rucks twice and won both. Obviously there have been games where our ruck has played part of a game before being injured too. You do not need a ruck as cover for a ruck.


So.....LP.....who (with the OBVIOUS BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT) should we have played this game?
