The Great Ruck Debate.

[Thryleon]

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.

You're too generous with him.

I'm not chastising the guy, but as we've seen, (a stat you ignore) our midfield makes the ruck look good.

Pittonet is ok, but thats all he is.

Cameron was the best ruck on the ground but our mids won the clearances and the part that costs us is his inability to make a mark around the ground.  He is out of the play.  You said it yourself.  How many times are the rucks actually rucking?
