Carlton have taken major strides towards their first flag since 1995, but there are two key issues Michael Voss must address. One crucial question - are they better with two frontline ruckmen or not?
Michael Voss said through summer that Carlton needed to become a “great” home-and-away side to lay the platform for a legitimate premiership quest., the Blues determined to build on last year’s breakthrough preliminary final.
But Pittonet’s return against the Bulldogs nullified this, De Koning’s numbers in all categories plummeting, including for centre bounce clearances , clearances and score involvements .The answer, for Voss, seems clear. When De Koning has been the sole ruckman this season, the Blues average 103 points per game and have an 8-1 win-loss record.
“We’re really fortunate that we’ve got some strengths in our team, and we’ve got two guys that can play ruck very well. And Tom can impact forward as well,” Voss said.
