JLT Round 2 - Blues v Pies (11 March, Monday holiday)

[Barbs]

I know we're building a great young midfield list but geez when you look at the Pies'  midfield, we're still a fair way off the mark:

Sidebottom
Treloar
Pendlebury
Adams
Beams

Then throw in the likes of Varcoe, Stephenson, Phillips, Thomas, Langdon etc...and with arguably one of the best ruckmen in the game, Grundy, it's hard to see them not finishing in the top 3 or 4 this year. They bring in Beams and effectively get a new player in Elliott, and from last year's GF also bring back Dunn, Howe, Scharenburg etc as defenders.

All good players for sure, but the amount of space we give them to run free is terrible. Our zone hasnt improved, we just stand in space and watch the opposition work through it.

In comparison when we get the ball we still just kick 40m down the line and hope to win a contest.
