Whenever we went inside 50 he was hardly in the picture.
He worked up the ground to get into the game but just couldn’t hold the marks and got wrapped up in tackles.
He flew for a couple but they didn’t stick and some he tried to mark at his feet (poor kicks) so he tried hard.
Is it possible with our ball movement looking a little quicker and more direct with less long bombing from 80 that he was simply getting to the wrong spots (said slightly tongue in cheek)
If you’re a midfielder, you can ease back into a pre season. Have a run of half back, gradually move into the ball and rarely would you worry about a tag.
As a number 1 key forward, you are copping the opposition’s best key defender no matter what, so there is no easing back into it.

Add to that May is one of the more rugged key defenders in the comp, not afraid to try and hurt his opponent in contests.
