Enough with the small forwards!

They haven't done anything, sure, but they haven't had the chance too either.
Our entry inside 50 has basically meant that we mark it, or they do.....and they usually have extra numbers to help once the ball hits the deck.
They haven't stopped running, trying, harrassing, but they have been forced to be reactive all night just with the way we have got the ball inside 50.

Why enough with small forwards are you the all seeing and all knowing?

What I saw they were not good enough - they didnt lock the ball in forward 50 and were ineffective when they HAD to stand up.

Durdin, Owies, Fisher, Martin, Setterfield were just not good enough. faster we get Motlop and Honey up to speed the better.

Midfield was good.

BTW small forwards have been under performing past four weeks. The ease opposition defence rebound from turnover from forward line has been TOO EASY.

Small forwards did lack intensity and pressure. Forward entry was shite, but they don’t crumb the ball well, and don’t lock the ball in often enough.
