Welcome Marc.

Pittonet joins Carlton
Carlton has added to its ruck stocks with the addition of Marc Pittonet, securing the ruckman as well as pick No.61 from Hawthorn.
Basically lose Phillips + 62 = Pittonett
Very nice deal

Welcome Marc!
Take the opportunity with both hands when it comes around. Hope he can prosper here and make it.

Good pick up from you guys, never had much opportunity at Hawks. The few times he did play though he seemed like a good player, very good tap ruckman. Just needs some consistency at AFL level and could be very good

New Blue | Marc Pittonet highlights
Watch highlights of new Carlton ruckman Marc Pittonet after his trade from Hawthorn.
Welcome Marc.
Think SOS and co. a bit peeved that Phillips pulled the pin following all of the work put in to getting his soft tissue issues sorted. Multiple overseas trips and the advent of Jack Russell seemed to have turned it around, with a much more solid season after delays to his pre season.
Can't help but feel we have fallen on our feet though. Pittonet 5 years younger, still developing, but match ready and dominant at the lower level. Gives us a perfect list management progression. Kreuze with a year or two (outside chance of 3) to go. Young tyro TDK sure to be on the fast track to establish himself as numero uno. Pittonet provides genuine competition for TDK, which should bring oout the best in both. With Levi reportedly staying for a year or two, gives us
that fall back should injury curses hit.
Expecting a youngster to be drafted next year, many here are aware of who I allude to as the most likely target.
We are now set for an extended period.

Very disappointed to see him go. From what I saw at Box Hill, his last two years were building nicely. Regularly got 50+ taps and has always been able to direct to team mates. All the best to him, he'll make a very good AFL ruckman soon if not right away.
Kreuzer’s injury history suggests we’ll see this guy quite a bit next season.

welcome to Carlton Marc. Looking forward to seeing what you can do.
Could be really important for the development of midfielders at VFL level and if he taps well at AFL level then that is great. Gone from an older backup ruck to a young one which is great. No doubt we will see him a bit in the AFL.

Welcome Marc!
Good get for a nothing pick and is the right age to improve and a good size
Played well in the VFL and hope it translates to AFL at a new club with a sniff of taking the #1 Ruck role in 1-2 years
well done and good backup

If I went to kinder and played under 9's with him, does it mean I'm now an ITK with the good oil? 
Pleased to see SOS and Agresta finally address our ruck division, which I consider to be our achilles heal. We have a once-in-a-generation mid in Cripps and potentially another in Walsh without a quality ruckman to give them a regular first look at the ball around the stoppages. I'd expect Pittonet to be our No.1 Ruck by the end of the next season. I'd like to see us get another at the draft.
You've done very well here. Genuinely sad to see him go so cheaply.
Very good tap ruck - struggles to read the ball in flight - is not a marking option around the ground.
Dominates around the ground stoppages at VFL level, probably equal or better than Ceglar at ruckwork - makes him comfortably capable as #2, even competing for #1 at some clubs.
Has the good "clumsy" that all the best big blokes have. Pointy elbows and knees, likes a good block, loves a hard tackle. Get's his knees dirty and is surprisingly good at feeding the ball out of congestion.
Doesn't find space well, not a great mover, doesn't have a great kick, isn't a great mark, some questions on stamina but IMO like McEvoy just goes at 3/4 pace all day.

I’m happy with this. Welcome to the Navy Blues Marc.

Welcome Marc... All the best, and glad we can reunite you with Andrew Russell...
Phillips was serviceable but if this guy even breaks even on his ability the we have basically traded sideways for a player 5 years his junior. Hawks are no numpty club either he will be well drilled. Puts a bit of competition on down for spots with TDK in that age demographic as Kreuzer moves into his twilight years. Pinching 2nd and 3rd string ruckman is where it's at... not much point drafting them anymore, certainly not in the first few rounds anyway. Good move and good luck to him. Look forward to seeing what he brings and Andrew Russell will no doubt be familiar with him too over 4 seasons so certainly a head start there too.
If Pittonet ends up being our only ruck acquisition in this off season, it should make it somewhat easier to pick a better balanced Northern Blues team. It will also allow TDK more opportunity to develop his ruck craft after being 3rd banana behind Phillips & Lobbe this season.

Welcome Pitto
Hope you develop a great working relationship with the mids. Enjoy wearing a decent jumper.

Like this move. Got to have a backup ruck, and now we have a younger, tougher one who *might* develop into something more.
