Senior 27. Marc Pittonet

Marc is watching Creed as we speak.

Never get in a lift with Jeff Kennett

I like Jeff. A very nice bloke.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Marc is smoking weed as we speak.

Got absolutely torched for his speed off the mark tonight. I'm a big fan of TDK, but he's at a severe disadvantage in terms of developing as a physical presence at stoppages.

This guy is not going to develop as a power athlete either, so we've basically squandered numerous opportunities to draft and develop a genuine ruck option for the future, right as we might start to need one.

 

[Malifice]

I like this trade.

Went alright for Box Hill, and they're a decent VFL side. Runner up in their BnF this year, and 4th in the JJ LIston.

23 years old with 5 years in the system, and it's about the time Rucks start to kick on.

For a late junk pick, and seeing as Ruck was one of the areas we needed to sort out, this trade works for me.

Finally nailed a prediction!

Took me 13 years.

He's a handy back-up. Big, strong and capable, no world beater but plays a role. And considering the workload he had, was reasonably durable.
Congrats Pitto!

 

[ferrisb]

Happy with this.

I know he has a few critics, and he may not be good enough to be a #1 ruck, but that's OK. Perfect kind of guy to have for list management.

You only need top line ruck (max two), then a couple of cheap guys that will happily(ish) toil away at VFL and then be able to step in and do a decent job at AFL level when needed.

I see Marc as that perfect backup ruck guy.

A good handy ruckman, excellent reserve option IMO.

 

[thylacine60]

this is a good thing, right?

 

[Gethelred]

Do you need to be convinced?

 

[Gethelred]

I mean, I can placate you condescendingly, but I don't do convincing.

 

[Carl Tone]

He's still young in ruckman years and considering he's had a stack of games where he's won ruck taps by a mile, if those taps start going to advantage De Koning will be fighting hard for his spot. In that scenario, we'd have the best ruck duo in the league - a crash 'n bash and super athletic.

 

[Kings of Lygon]

A very good signing IMO. He's an AFL standard ruck who is a big body and still young. Plenty of improvement left.

Pitto is a bit rigid and limited in that he's a pure tap ruck, but we are very light in this area and TDK will need support/back up for at least another two seasons.

I think Marc could surprise a few, just needs to stay healthy.

 

[Arr0w]

Good re-signing for a back up/break glass ruckman. Now need 2nd KPF/ruckman to partner TDK

 

[thylacine60]

I mean, I can placate you condescendingly, but I don't do convincing.

placation would be adequate.........

 

[Gethelred]

placation would be adequate.........

There, there.

I'll fetch you some malted milk.

 

[thylacine60]

well someone better placate - not lactate - me on this re-signing..........

 

[BlueJet]

Pretty happy with this.
Unfairly written off by some but provides some of what TDK lacks.
Ideally, we'd have someone more agile than Pittonet as our no. 1 but he's a more than capable of filling the role until we're able to develop/recruit an alternative.

 

[Pixelshooter]

He's a solid number 2. Probably needs to be a bit more of a bash and crash type to provide some good chop out for TdK.

Yep. Starting Ruck for mine. TDK 3rd tall forward and ruck chop out when Pittonet rests.
