Like it or not Pitto is the no 2 ranked ruckman in the comp. Filter for Rucks and watch the magic happen.

Yes because he gets most minutes in there doesn't make him the better ruck imo.
TDK is a ruck not a forward just like H is a forward not a ruck and Young is a back not a ruck.

TDK is being played out of position. No matter who the ruck is (despite TDK being the superior ruck) todays game does not suit two rucks - we have lost past 80% of games with two rucks. Not sure how much more blatant it can get.

We lost them all in the same stretch last year, many in embarrassing fashion. after round 13 we beat who we lost too.

Wasn't expecting miracles with what was 5 consecutive blockbusters but of the first 4 we won two and pissed 2 others down the drain narrowly with half a side out. Highly competitive against contenders even with the injuries. Tonight, we mentally fell apart and gave up. Tonight was terrible in effort. Injuries are no excuse for a lack of effort.

It has been a tough run for sure but two rucks and three small forwards taking run run away from the middle has been a miserable failure and needs to take ownership. I wont trust the guy with this list if he doesn't.

Actually I think the club needs to make an official statement the performance was unacceptable and a review is now enacted before things get worse. I have lost all faith in the Austins, Russells and CFC coaches of this world unless pragmatic changes are enacted.. unfortunately, the pragmatic changes are game plan changing to this broken system. Lets see what happens against the lesser teamn because we have failed miserably against the contenders and no way do we deserve a flag or should be in the window for it as too many accept mediocrity.

Game plan broken as it has been from the start - even though some saw it from a mile away.
Now lost four of six with two rucks and three small forwards.... time for a change knucklehead coaches at CFC?
L:et's see if you can swallow your pride and make meaningful and impactful changes for the better.

Ahem - More RUN

Why are we persisting with players that are not good enough - Durdin and Pittonet and few others are being feast on? Durdin isn't even good enough for VFL - I prefer Fabntasia and think Fantasia is a dud and that says something - and why did we give him a two year contract?

Mr Austin answers please... maybe you are not ruthless enough in a ruthless industry against ruthless competitors like Sydney that wouldnt up with non performers.
