Reeves knocked us back early as Hawks offered him new deal. He was our first choice

Reidy's hardly short at 204cm.

He's improved every year, year on year, but always difficult behind Darcy and Jackson...

Dominated in the WAFL, won Peel's F & B in '24...

Known to be very hard at the contest. All 105kg of him.

I see no reason why he couldn't become out #1 ruck in short order...

I think Pitto is underrated on here. Doesnt do much around the ground but provides a physical presence and tap work is elite. Durability the main question mark.

If he can stay fit I have no issue with him as our no.1. People saying HOK is ahead as ruck, have rocks in their head. At this stage in Pitto would annihilate him. HOK might provide more around the ground, but having someone who competes strongly in the ruck is more important.

He does exactly zero around the ground or when resting forward.

Zero. That's a problem...

Zero. That's a problem...

There's been plenty of solid ruckman, who have played for good teams, that dont do alot around the ground. He doesnt do 0. It's just not his strength.

It's not a big problem, particularly if you arent paying much for him, and can use that money elsewhere. Cant have stars on every line. We've shown before we can be a good team with Pitto in the ruck.

Thought Pitto had actually improved his marking
Hit the scoreboard at times including our goal of the year with his torpedo

Don’t think we’ll lose too much between TDK & Pitto as #1 ruck

We have saved a million dollars in wages for, at worst a marginal downgrade. In fairness, there is nothing to say Reidy can’t reach Meek like levels as HOK continues to develop (he is a baby for a ruck… or key forward)

 

[gbatman]

He won’t be spending big time in ruck. Will be training with forwards

Showed massive improvement as a forward last year and coaches were impressed with positioning and especially contested marking. We were actually more effective when he was forward

I think he has something as a forward. We have the luxury of having a number one ruck and splitting the part time ruck between O'Keeffe and McKay.

I think some teams will play an extra ruck with the new rules. I think the successful sides will play an extra forward. Either a key forward or a key ruck.

Definitely wouldn't call stuff like this zero

I don't think any modern team would want a pure Tap Ruckman like Pitto. The game has gone past it.
That's why Ruckmen like Luke Jackson & TDK are now sought after.
Even big lumbering Ruckmen must be able to contibute around the ground.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Zero +1 time…..
