Except if they come from Murphy who had 29.
Seriously, you contradict yourself in the space of an hour (sometimes 5 minutes) on a regular basis.
Murphy isn't/wasn't hard enough at it (not applying enough pressure on/at the ball/opponent) but you prefer disposals over pressure acts.
Go rewatch a game and look at how many times we force the opposition to make an extra handball (or 5) by the amount of pressure we apply on them. Then see how often this pressure leads to a turnover.
Pressure on the kick makes the difference between an easy mark on the lead, or enough of a miskick that a spoil can be effective.
You complain about our team pointing out that our midfield is the biggest problem because they bomb the ball inside 50 too often. Is that because they are under pressure or because our forwards can't get free? Now either its not the midfield that is the problem, or its the pressure that the opposition are putting on them that is forcing the long bombs.
