You almost overlook the few errors for the fact that he is our best line breaker. It’s like the floor is lava and he is running away from it. He knows how to get through a sticky situation and get the ball to someone.
I think he really understands the offensive movements we’re trying to set up.
It just so happens our smartest player on the field (darcy) alsofilled the void. however this doesn’t deny the hard work off the ball he does by running about twice as far as anyone else on screen at the time.
Colyer kicks to heppell who has a shot and misses but the movement off the ball and with the ball was sublime.
basically sign me up channel 9 cricket commentary team, i can draw circles around players and directions,
I remember him taking an intercept mark that probably got graded as uncontested, but it was in the middle of a group of players in the D50, and it is worth a lot more than contested possesions
Bingo. High risk high reward. Very often you see McKenna and to be fair a lot of our guys ignore the easy kick down the line to pick a target in the corridor that might allow us kamikaze link up play through the guts. On a dry fast track it’s worth the risk. In slippery conditions not so much. You take the odd stuff up. Who thought we looked good early in the last when we went a bit more stagnant and predictable?
