We seem to play a swarming defence trying to block forward avenues and conceding kicks to more easily defended areas. It’s only when the ball is heading inside 50 that our defenders man up, and it often seems to be the nearest forward rather than a particular match up - apart from Jones and one or two others.
Your point is well made LP; most of our defenders have the attributes to stand almost any opponent.
And they're athletic enough to run off their man in most instances....
Finals, then 4 in a row!
