Patrick Cripps carries the Carlton Football Club on his shoulders these days, and the power he has within the club has been demonstrated in public with his preferred ruckman brought back into the 22 in Marc Pittonet. While Pittonet himself is not a top-tier ruck for fantasy, his presence maximises the hit outs to advantage for the Blues and unlocks Cripps' full potential as the engineer of strings of high-quality clearances, particularly from the centre. Along with the still-improving Tom De Koning, this is a blossoming and productive relationship.
