If we make the kind assumption that yaco’s talking about 2015, it’s actually even more stupid. Had 16+ kicks & 27+ disposals every week from round 15 on, majority being 30 touches. With Jobe out and the rest of the team playing, to put it kindly, poorly.
I think attacking wise our mids are fine. It’s the defensive transition. And part of the solution is currently sitting in the back half developing. McGrath.
If Myers gets fit he also makes a difference. I would be drilling in to Begley, Mutch and Clarke that they need to tackle hard.
We have good weopon and will get more. Nothing to worry about. This will develop into the best midfield we have had. We all fapped over Heppell for years singing hallelujah because we never got gun mids. Now parish, Zerrett and McGrath will make him number 4 in 2-3 years
Other than lack of match practice for the returning guys, time playing together with the newer guys, & some more time in the guts for the up & coming younger guys, we have no midfield woes, … yet.
I pray that if it’s wet on ANZAC day, the midfield group (and Woosha) learnt something from the Carlton game about wet weather football. DONT BE CUTE AND OVER-POSSESS THE FCKN BALL
Not about showing anyone up, it’s about who has the financial interest in the stats, never forget the afl is a dictatorship that does nothing for the good of the game that doesn’t fill their pockets first
Yep, the AFL holds the monopoly on the collection and access and unless they approve you can get them. So it’s both a control and financial block. Funny they also do the stats for almost all other sports in AUS too.
Possessions don’t tell the full story - For example I can clearly see Hodge is on the decline but his possession numbers are OK - Hurley has looked shocking in the first four weeks, but his possessions are similar to his AA year in 2015 - So many blitzers considered Stanton a lock for top 3 in the 2015 B and F, yet he finished 6th - Do I have to continue !
Lots of whinging that Stanton finished that low in the B and F - Anyway when L.Jetta finishes third in a Nobby Clarke award one must question the views/opinions of blitzers - Anyway Stanton needs to improve to keep his place in the team.
Well you would hope that some time this year, or maybe next, one of the youngsters will stand up and demand Stanton’s spot. And Kelly’s. And maybe even Goddard’s and Jobe’s.
