As for stopping Eddie, it would be more of a team effort to limit forward 50 entries but Plowman could do the job with a little help from his fellow defenders.
Plowman, at a stretch, is all we've got IMO. If there are 2 eddies....we're screwed. We'd have to drop another mid-type back. So where does the extra defender go?
I know a lot of our blokes can play on talls, and smalls to a certain degree given there agility, but you still need a Tuohy/Docherty type which you can rely on more often than not to take those slippery blokes.
Look, i know how good our defenders are, i'm a huge wrap for them. I reckon our '2nd back 6' would still beat our '1st forward 6', i just think we need to be fluid down there and pick horses for courses.
