I think Krud has nailed it with Pittonet not being a viable player in our best 22/3 other than in the ruck and the fact his best isnt as good as TDK's so he is cutting TDK's lunch in terms of time on ball when playing in the ruck.
Do you try and develop Pittonet in other positions ie KP Forward or KP back or do you develop pinch hitting ruckman like Harry or Jack Silvagni when fit instead. Pittonet has shown little aptitude as a forward imo even as a rarity when he does rest forward and for me his role now is purely as a backup to TDK in case of injury.
Darcy and Jackson of Freo are in a similar position imho and id rate Darcy as a better crafted forward player than Pittonet but it still hasnt worked as Freo would have hoped as it did with Gawn and Jackson at Melb and both players perform better as No 1 ruckman.
