The Great Ruck Debate.

[kruddler]

This debate is over.  Pittonet is not the ruckman we need.

Last week we heard all about his stats but i dont need stats.  They paint the wrong picture.  He was better this week but was still well beaten for most of the game.

Can't wait for tdk to return and I would definitely consider rucking a tandem, because we are way too thin both forward and back not to.

Pittonet, like seemingly everyone else in the team right now, isn't playing his best football.

He is not the reason for the form slump though, he is just caught up in it.

Pittonet is still performing well enough in the ruck, without being as dominant as he has been.
Pittonet is still doing the job in clearances and HTA (He got more than Cameron in both)
Pittonet is still capable of giving us what we need - look at how Gov got the ball at the end of the game.

He is not AA.
He does not need to be banished to the VFL.

He is playing because we need an AFL capable ruck and there isn't one on the list, apart from him, who is actually fit.

Not sure where the issue is.
