Bottomless pitt

I must have a different definition of "writing off" than some people, because I haven't seen anyone writing Pitt off

I'm really not all that positive about this bloke. It is too early to tell but he's slow, he's scrawny and as he puts on weight he will probly lose more pace and his supposed strength at junior level, his kicking, has been completely exposed at AFL level and has been very very ordinary. He didn't even show much in the WAFL last yr, he's got a long way to go just to become an AFL player let alone a good one.

The Ibbotson comparison is about right but to me with his pace he reminds me more of Crowley. Look I hope I'm wrong and the club seems very happy to give him a lot of time and I agree they should but I just can't see it atm.

Jesus he might aswell hang up the boots ay?

No kidding What a review.

We went through a phase where we needed draftees to play very early in their development and have an immediate impact, and with some success. But that is not going to be true of every player. I am excited that we have Crozier on the list, and have no expectations of him getting a game for 2 years.

Pitt was rushed into some games last season and there has been an argument that it set him back. Looking at this pre-season he seems to be getting himself into the position where he is a realistic option for the coach if his form warrants it.

I think a win for Pitt, this week and from a full game, would be 12d 8h 4k 2cp 1m 2i50 2t.... Asking too much?

Im not sure playing Pitt early on last year was in his best interests,he was clearly to light and on occasions looked like a rabbit in the spotlight.
However with the benefit of a full pre season and a few extra kgs I think we will see a different player this year and really progressing in the next couple of years

It's not like he's suffered some mental scarring from the experience. I don't see a problem blooding a youngster early. The pace and intensity of the game may be a bit of a shock, but it's only going to help them in the long run.

Would have thought he would have gained more weight than eight kilos without a bottom.
