Correct - manned up on Curnow who didn’t mark until Ambrose was on the bench in Q1 and Hurley simply spectated Curnow take a big pack mark.
Whoever Ambrose was on didn’t really touch the ball which is what normally happens.
He will be better for the run.
Thank God he is back because Hurley again was diabolical in the air in 1:1 contest spectating firstly Curnow and then Silvagni in Q1 take overhead marks from high, slow balls.
Hes instructions are very clear and he does the job well but hes not very damaging, theres only room in the side for one of hartley and ambrose.
Neither will be in essendons next premiership team and they aint allow.
What a misinformed post - He played on Curnow who for a second year player has been flying for the last 4 weeks - Curnow had no influence on the game - It’s no secret that Curnow featured in few marking contests.
No where near a nightmare but he did look of the pace and a bit lost at times.
As with Lav i think we would have been better served letting him work up a bit more match fitness and form in the 2’s but he was servicable and will (should) only get better with more games
Good one. The only thing that would have been better with your ‘not sure if I watched the game’
crack was if you managed to call me ‘Champ’
If you think Curnow with a 12 possession game and one goal is ‘quite dominant’ then fair play to you. I think you are off the mark though
For me, Ambrose did what Ambrose mostly does in the backline, and even allowing for the fact that he should be better for the run in the coming weeks, I am pretty content with any defender only conceding one goal to his opponent.
