He should know his midfield role like the back of his hand, and getting sucked into a midfield contest is either him taking the onus onto himself to leave the role he was assigned in an effort to fix what someone else is doing wrong or deciding that defending wasn't his go, with the only other option being, that this is what he thought he was supposed to do.
Wasn't the debate about Marc Murphy making a mistake playing as a permanent defender?
I suppose there are levels of tolerance, but I do wonder how many games Mitch Robinson had played in the ruck when he punched that ball over the goal line? However, if he had repeated it over and over again! :o
I'd expect Murphy to learn faster than a newbie, but I don't expect him to be another Brian Lake or Sam Docherty overnight!

It wasnt a debate it was something that Fox Footy pointed out, that he left his man (who may have simply dragged him forward) to return to the midfield contest (over 40 metres away) which saw him become just a witches hat to kick over as he couldnt cover that ground with any real hope of doing anything.

Still nothing from our invisible president and CEO. At least the previous incumbent would have come out with something, this Liddle bloke isn't exactly "engaging" this supporter.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I though eye gouging was three weeks, minimum.
I see that May continues to benefit from his "protected species" status. If he tummy taps Chuck I hope he drops the clown.

Just watching Talking Footy.
Lions had 309 uncontested possession and 24 marks inside 50. That's off the chart!
They were showing highlights of how we were zoning and showing how, as Carey said, we had absolutely no idea where we should be standing and positioning ourselves. Just totally lost as to what to do. He said the message, whatever he's teaching, is just not getting though using that style of play.

Agree Jim....game plan is useless, rather go back to congestion, mayhem and a stacked backline than watch Steven rack up 40 possies and have half the backline unoccupied with witches hats for players.....

Can we maybe give players a week off and simply tell them to play 1 on 1 footy.
This is your opponent for the day. Beat him.
May give some players back the confidence they might be lacking.

We'd be beaten in 15 or 16 of those 1 on 1 contests, maybe more, confidence would go even lower

We are not short on talent. Look at how many 1st round picks we have.
We are short on confidence.
We are short on cohesion.
We are short on experience.
We are short on knowledge.
All of them have an effect on how we perform 'the game plan'.
Throw that out the window and just let the blokes play. Instinct will take over and they will play to their strengths.
It will also create havoc for the opposition when all their homework they've done throughout the week is flushed down the toilet from the centre bounce. It will force Richo to come up with a new plan on the fly. We should get a decent jump on them in the 1st quarter.
