One of our big problems in 2023 is that when Pitto has been busy hitting it down the throat of the opposition, our next option at times has been the big hearted SoJ! :o
We do have one of the best midfields.
Collingwood, currently have THE best midfield.
....and ours is out of form. Cripps specifically.
So you tell me ruckman are overrated.
You tell me the stats lie.
You tell me Jack is the reason we are failing.
.....but Pittonet hits it down the opposition throats anyway.
You don't know what you want....except to make bold statements with no factual evidence behind them. Each statement you make contradicts one you've made previously.
End result is, the club rates Pittonet (as do others supposedly) and you can bag on him all you want, it changes nothing.
He is elite hitouts to advantage from ruck contests and performs better when he rucks more. He is forced to do this because we don't have a legitimate 2nd ruck who can play elsewhere.
So what is it that you actually expect the club to do?
You b!tch and moan but don't offer any alternatives.
Who is the saviour and when will they be presented themselves.....because we've been waiting a while and nothing yet.

Its not Pittonet getting hitouts to advantage, its the midfielders doing the hard work.
Thats not what you said?

Thats not what you said? That's not what I wrote, your trying on some schoolyard bullying and sooking it up because we lost. Verbals are for kiddies.
But we still looked better in the ruck tonight than with SoJ, and if you want to talk stats, how does TDKs goal in the game compare statistically?

I already did a stat breakdown of TDK this week vs SOJ game last week in the ruck thread.
You tell me, does that make us better off?

After the disappointing loss it's easy to post provocative or emotional stuff that has no basis, I know your hurting, one of your faves got it in the neck, and we lost. But that doesn't give you the right to misrepresent what people post on the discussions held about rules, tactics, players or stats.
You know as well as any, probably better than most, that I'm 100% pro-ruck, a ruck booster in fact, yet in a moment of emotion you chose to claim the very opposite. It's wildly inaccurate about me, and says far more about you, so my advice is you give it a rest.
